[[Category:Gaming]][[Category:CISC 864]][[Category:Courses]]This page describes the first progress presentation for [[CISC 864]]. This project checkpoint consists of two parts: a presentation and a written report.

== Report ==
Your report should address
* Description of your project. What changes you are making to the game mechanics and gameplay from the point of view of a player.
* User interface. How your changes will be revealed in the user interface of the game.
* Art requirements. What art requirements (if any) you have, and what arrangements (if any) you have made with art students to work on that art.
* Project milestones. How you are breaking up your work into steps, and when you plan to have each step finished.
* Technology. How your changes will impact the architecture of the game (including supporting diagrams and textual documentation.) What third-party packages you are using and how they work.
* Interaction with other groups. If your project affects work that other groups are doing, what mechanisms do you have in place to cooperate and to coordinate your changes?

== Presentation ==
Your presentation is to be 20 minutes in length. Each presentation will receive a 40 minute time slot, including time for 20 minutes of discussion.

Please email me your presentation slides by Thursday Feb 16, 5:00 PM so that I can pre-load them on my computer. This will save time in shuffling computers during the presentations. If there is a compelling reason why you need to present on your own computer, please let me know in advance.

All students are to attend all presentations.

== Group Statement ==
Along with your report, provide a brief (1 paragraph) statement of who did what towards the project. 

Optionally, you may provide a ''mark adjustment'' in your group statement, allowing you to reward member(s) of your group who contributed significantly more to the project than others. E.g., a group consisting of Alice, Bob and Cleo might give a mark adjustment of +3, -2, -1 to each of the three members. If the project received a grade of 85, the assigned grades would then be Alice: 88, Bob: 83, Cleo: 84. If no mark adjustment is provided, all group members will receive the same grade. In cases where groups cannot agree on a mark adjustment, no adjustment will be applied.

The group statement should be signed by all group members to indicate their agreement with its contents.

== Checklist ==
The following is due by email on the 16th by 5:00 PM:

The following is due in class on the 17th:
