The Assignment

You are going to individually create a program that demonstrates the skills you have learned this semester. Each of you will choose a different program to make. Claim your project early.

It is up to you to ensure that you demonstrate all the skills required. Your exam will be marked according to the specific skills you show in your project. You will get credit for that skill if it works naturally and purposefully as part of solving your program's task.

Hints

• Get things working in bite-sized chunks.
• Use console logs to tell you where you are in your code.
• Use console logs to tell you what values your variables contain.
• Do CSS work when you are stuck or need a break.
• Plan your data structures carefully before you start.
• Have a clear definition of what you want input and what you want to output. This makes the process much easier.
• When looking online for advice, keep in mind that the quality of publicly available code is iffy. Get me to take a quick look at it...
