CPSC 240

If you’re logged on to the cpsc server (or have the gitinspector tool installed on the machine you’re working on) you can get some useful and illuminating stats on your repo by typing:

$ gitinspector -wHT -x author:Stephen

(The “-x author:Stephen” part is to exclude moi from the results, if you originally used my Zork solution as a starting point.)

This will show you how many commits, and how many lines of code, each person has committed, when those happened in the overall timeline of the semester, etc.

Enjoy!

The revised version of the Cheerleader example has been posted, which features time delays, joins, and interrupts. Playing around with this code and verifying the effects of certain changes would be an excellent way to cement your understanding of these concepts.

The last two homework assignments of the year have been posted! They are:

• A creative and cool individual dungeon (.zork file) for your team’s game engine (due Dec 9)
• A self-and-peer evaluation in which you will reflect on your team’s performance and your role in it (due Dec 13/15)

For that second item, I do want a physical hardcopy, which you can personally hand to me at the final exam. You can either type and print out your answers, or write them legibly by hand.

Looks like I’m not going to make it to the second section either. That’s okay: everybody just take the quiz in the usual way at the usual time, and sign the Honor Pledge on the last question as always.

I’m not going to make it to the morning class today. But you guys don’t really need me there anyways — just take the quiz in the usual way at the usual time. If you run into any issues, email and I’ll try to be on.

Hopefully I’ll be there in person for the afternoon session.

Good luck!

I’m giving a brief announcement at the start of PC’s 2pm DATA 101 class, and will start office hours as soon as I return.

From today’s class, the Cheerleader example.

The materials from UW’s Dan Grossman on parallelism & concurrency have been posted to the “Parallelism” tab in the menu bar. You can scroll down to “Lecture slides” to get the power points we’re going through (lectures 1, 2, 4, and 5).

From today’s class:

• The extra credit challenge: Task.java, TaskWatcher.java, and Thanksgiving.java.
• The Iterator design pattern example: Blah3.java.

If your team had trouble with Zork III, and you’d like to use mine as a Zork++ solution starting point, it is available in the Canvas “Files” tab under the filename “stephenIII.git“.
