Year 11 Assignment

1. Part 1

   • Algorithm Research and Investigation
     • Assignment
       • Involves assigning a value to a variable or memory location.
     • Sequence
       • A particular order in which multiple instructions are processed.
     • Selection
       • A decision made based on a condition.
     • Condition
       • An expression or question which is evaluated by true or false, leading to selection.
     • Iteration
       • A loop of instructions
     • Modularisation
       • Breaking down a large problem into smaller modules
   • Symbolisation of solutions to the stimulus algorithm challenges
   • Analysis of the stimulus algorithm challenges
   • Desk check algorithms
   • Algorithm challenge 1
     • Player begins in a random center square of a 4 x 4 grid with 3 health points
   • Algorithm challenge 2
     • If the player talks to the baker he will give the player a loaf of bread. If the player eats the bread 1 health point is restored (up to a maximum health of 5)
   • Algorithm challenge 3
     • Defeat the dragon by retrieving the sword by answering 3 riddles correctly

2. Part 2

   • Analysis of the stimulus programming challenges to determine:
     • Local Variables
     • Global Variables
     • Data stuctures
     • Data types
     • Prescribed criteria
     • Self-determined criteria

3. Part 3

   • Graphical user interface
     • Description of usability principles
     • Analysis of a user persona
     • Development of ideas for graphical user interface
     • Symbolisation of a mock up
     • Evaluation of the proposed mock up against usability principles

4. Annotation of user interactions and user flow
