This page is intended to help people choose a good topic for their OOD assignment. Before committing to a topic, talk to User:Warwick Irwin about its suitability.
Contents |
Advice
As far as possible, choose a topic that:-
- You're already involved with for another course, research project or work. You're more familiar with the requirements & design issues, and you get a double payoff.
- You're interested in.
- Is hard to design, e.g. because conflicting forces are involved.
- Is not too broad, or has a smaller component you can concentrate on.
Some topic ideas
| Topic | Description |
| 324 project | Take your old 324 project and improve (part of) the design. |
| 427 project | Take an old 427 project and improve the design. |

| Animation framework | Design a set of classes to help programmers build custom 2D animations. |
| Wire-frame models | Design a system to make wire-frame models of things like human faces. Allow them to be rotated, distorted, etc. |
| 122 demo software | Design software to demonstrate to students how a range of data structures and algorithms work. |
