Submissions

Assignments should be submitted in zipped format via WebCT:
- If submitting under Windows, the zipped file should be named <jhedid>.<assignment #>.zip.
  - Right click on the directory containing the submission. From the drop down menu, goto choose "Send To" and then choose "Compressed (zipped) Folder".
- If submitting under Linux, the zipped file should be named <jhedid>.<assignment #>.tgz
  - Change directories to the root of the assignment and type: "tar -czf ../<jhedid>.tgz .".
- Submission should include a write-up called <jhedid>.html in the root of the archive describing what was implemented and images of the results. Included in the write up should be:
  - Name
  - JHED ID
  - Class (357 / 457)
  - Compiler / Environment / Platform used
  - Number of late days used
  - Description of the parts of the assignment that have been fully implemented, partially implemented, or left un-implemented
- Any images, videos, etc. that are linked to by the write-up should be contained in a directory called <jhedid>_HTML.
- Submissions to the art contest should be contained in the <jhedid>_HTML directory and should be named <jhedid>.art.<submission #>.[jpeg/bmp/avi/etc.].
- The code should compile. Code that does not compile will not be graded!
- The assignments are presented so that implementing the necessary code can be done completely within the *.todo.cpp files. Please restrict your coding to these sections. If you must modify other code, please specify accordingly in your write-up file.
- The archive should contain all .cpp, .h, .inl, and project / make files that are necessary for compilation.
- Please do not include any .exe, .obj, .o, .a, .lib, .ncb, .ilk, or any other binary or compiler files in the submission.
