Academic Integrity:
1. No cheating will be tolerated.
2. LSU Honor Code governs all work in this course.
3. For labs:
4. For quizzes and tests:
5. Any deviation from these guidelines will result in severe consequences (i.e. a zero on the assignment, possibly the course, and the appropriate authorities on campus will be notified).
Responsibility: Attendance is not taken, however quizes may be given at any time. Those who are not present for a quiz will receive a zero. Students are also expected to keep up with (1) what is posted on the website, (2) what is in Moodle, (3) all emails sent out from moodle, and (4) all materials presented in class. Finally, students are required to ensure that all their labs are submitted during lab time, that all student source code compiles and runs, passes the tester, and that all source files are submitted to Moodle. Code that does not compile can receive at most 30%.

Final Project: The final project should be a program of each student's own design (most students create a game). The project will be graded in four steps which will be averaged to calculate the final score. The requirements are:
1. That each student writes 1000 or more lines of code. Lines will not be counted if...
  1. It is a comment
  2. It is a blank
  3. It is a line with a single curly brace
  4. It is an import
  5. Repetitious code, e.g. hundreds of calls to fillRect()
  6. Line count/code check tool is here: http://csc1351.cct.lsu.edu/.
2. Each project contains a minimal amount of documentation, in the form of a text file, describing what the program does, how to run it, etc. This file does not count toward your lines of code requirement.
3. The project is based on the BasicGraphics package (see link below). Students may contribute extensions to this package if needed, but that needs to be cleared with me. The following are non-negotiable.
  1. Forbidden classes: Using any of the classes below will result in a score of 0.
    1. JFrame: Your program must launch using BasicFrame.
    2. Thread: Your program must not use class Thread for any reason. Not even sleep. You should use ClockWorker for that.
    3. ImageIcon: Use Picture.
  2. Required classes: Your program should make use of most of these, or you will get a score of 0.
    1. Sprite
    2. SpriteComponent
    3. BasicContainer
    4. Card
    5. BasicLayout
    6. Picture
    7. SpriteSpriteCollisionListener
    8. ClockWorker
    9. ReusableClip
    10. BasicDialog
