Assignment 1
Learning Outcomes & Materials
This assignment is intended to develop and assess the following unit learning outcomes:
LO1. Iteratively apply object-oriented design principles to design small to medium-size software systems, using
standard software engineering notations, namely UML class diagrams and UML interaction diagrams.
LO2. Describe the quality of object-oriented software designs, both in terms of meeting user requirements and
the e?ective application of object-oriented design concepts and principles.
LO3. Apply object-oriented programming constructs, such as abstraction, information hiding, inheritance, and
polymorphism, to implement object-oriented designs using a programming language (namely, Java).
LO5. Apply principles of software engineering practice to create object-oriented systems with peers using tools
including integrated development environments (IDEs), UML drawing tools, and version control systems.
To demonstrate your ability, you will be expected to:
read and understand UML design documentation for an existing Java system
propose a design for additional functionality for this system
create UML class diagrams to document your design using a UML drawing tool such as
diagrams.net, UMLet or plantuml – you are free to choose which one
write a design rationale evaluating your proposed design and outlining some alternatives
implement the features of the system that you designed
use an integrated development environment to do so
use git to manage your team's ?les and documents
The marking scheme for this assignment will re?ect these expectations
Learning Materials
The base code will be automatically available in your group's repository (Gitlab).
Repeat this mantra: Design, write code, test, ?x design, ?x code, repeat
Note: You must NOT follow demo apps' design decisions; they only show how to use the engine, NOT how to
design a proper system with object-oriented principles.Introduction
For the rest of the semester, you will be working on a relatively large software project. You will design
and implement new functionalities to an existing system that we will provide to you.
IMPORTANT: A document explaining the FIT2099 Assignment Rules (a module above Assignment 1). Please
read it and make sure you understand BEFORE you begin the project for your own bene?ts (i.e., get good
grades and better learning experience).
In this assignment (Assignment 1), you will be working individually to implement the ?rst few
features of the game. We highly recommend starting by extracting all of the game features. Then,
proceed with designing, testing, and repeating the process as needed. This iterative design-thinking
approach will help ensure a well-developed and re?ned system.
Getting Started
The initial codebase will be available in a repository that will be created for you on
git.infotech.monash.edu. In the meantime, please go through the assignment support modules on Ed
Lesson to familiarise yourself with the game engine that you will use during the assignment.
You do not need to submit an interaction diagram (e.g. sequence diagram or communication diagram) in
assignment 1. However, you will need to submit these documents for Assignment 2 and Assignment 3. For
assignment 1, you may still create these documents if you ?nd them useful for designing the system.
General background
You will be working on a text-based “rogue-like” game. Rogue-like games are named after the ?rst
such program: a fantasy game named Rogue. They were very popular in the days before home
computers were capable of elaborate graphics and still have a small but dedicated following.
If you would like more information about rogue-like games, a good site is http://www.roguebasin.com/. The
initial codebase will be available in the repository mentioned above. It includes a folder containing design
documents for the system. ELDEN THING: SHADOW OF THE INHERITREE
In this assignment, we will develop the “ELDEN THING: SHADOW OF THE INHERITREE” game, inspired
by the recently released downloadable content for the game Elden Ring: "ELDEN RING Shadow of the
Erdtree". We may use several similar names (characters, items, locations) and concepts. The purpose
of using an actual game’s concepts is to help you visualise the required features, such as watching the
video gameplay from the actual game to illustrate features that you may ?nd challenging to
comprehend. We also believe using actual game references may bring fun while working on the
assignments.
All linked game contents, videos, and images belong to the respective owners and are
subject to copyright. We mainly use the concepts for educational purposes and provide
credit to the original creators accordingly. We may also add, alter, and reduce the
original content and features to make them more suitable to the game engine, unit
outcomes, and assignments’ time frame.
What’s next?
Below are four slides (REQ1-REQ4) describing the requirements you need to complete. Each
requirement includes game features that include background stories, entity descriptions (actors,
items, or ground), relationships between entities, and actions between them. We suggest extracting
these features into a list and discussing it with the TAs to ensure all features are included (this
discussion is not assessed, but highly recommended).
Following these requirement slides, we will outline the deliverables necessary for the Assignment 1
assessment.Meet Alexander, the Pot Friend

Throughout your learning journey, "Alexander, the Pot Friend" will give you advice throughout the
assignment speci?cations that you may need to take note of inside "info" boxes. For example:
Alexander says, "Prithee, peruse the assignment speci?cations with care ere thou dost commence."
Please read the assignment speci?cations thoroughly before you start. We recommend that you visit (or revisit)
the Assignment Support modules in Weeks 2-5.
Disclaimer:
In the spirit of the original game, we have enlisted the help of ChatGPT 4.0 (Microsoft Copilot) to
generate all Old English quotes within these assignment speci?cations. It always starts with a wise
quote from Alexander, the Pot Friend, followed by the actual information/hint/warning that you
need to care about. We hope this adds a slight element of fun and whimsy as you read through
the requirements. Enjoy the journey back in time!
Here are some example prompts we have used:
“Generate an Old-English quote about the XXX.”
“Create an Old-English phrase about 'keep it simple, stupid'.”
“Provide an Old-English proverb related to 'be careful of giant's attack'.”REQ1: The Lord of the Old Order
Image: The Tarnished (source:
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/eldenring/images/5/52/Tarnished_E3_2021.jpg/revision/latest/scale-towidth-down/1000?cb=20210621011318)
In
Elden Thing, you play as the “Tarnished” ( @ ), who has claimed the Elden Throne, becoming the
Lord of the Old Order.
Now, following the trail of a seemingly missing demigod, the Tarnished enters the Land of Shadow
(see REQ2 Title), where the event of the game takes place.
The “Tarnished” starts at a map called the “Gravesite Plain” inside a small shack (see info box below).
"..........~~~~~~~...~~~~~~~......~...........",
"~..........~~~~~....~~~~~~...................",
"~~.........~~~~.....~~~~~~...................",
"~~~..#####..~~.....~~~~~~~...................",
"~~~..#___#........~~~~~~~~~..................",
"~~~..#___#.......~~~~~~.~~~..................",
"~~~..##_##......~~~~~~.......................",
"~~~~...........~~~~~~~...........~~..........",
"~~~~~.........~~~~~~~~.......~~~~~~~.........",
"~~~~~~.......~~~~~~~~~~.....~~~~~~~~........."
The "Gravesite Plain" map
The small shack is represented by several squares of ?oor ( _ ) and surrounded by walls ( # ).
```
#####
#____#
#____#
##_##
```They start with 150 hit points (health), 100 mana, and 5 strength.
Alexander says, "Verily, ensure thou dost ever display the Tarnished’s vitalities"
Make sure to always display the Tarnished’s attributes (hitpoints, mana, and strength) at each game tick.
Within the surroundings of the shack, there are two weapons that the Tarnished can pick up: A Short
Sword ( ! ) and Great Knife ( ? ).
The Tarnished must have at least 10 strength points to pick up the Short Sword and at least 5 strength
points to pick up the Great Knife. Once picked up, they can use the Short Sword to attack enemies (see
REQ4), dealing 100 damage with a 75% chance to hit (hit rate). The Great Knife can also be used to
attack enemies, dealing 75 damage with a 60% chance to hit. The Tarnished may also decide to drop
any of the picked-up weapons at any time and pick any of them up again.
The Tarnished may also decide to attack enemies with their bare ?st, dealing 25 damage with a 50%
chance to hit.
Alexander says, "Gather thou the weapons thy heart desires, for in thy hands lies the power to wield them all.”
The Tarnished can pick up as many weapons as they want. If there are multiple weapons in their inventory, the
Tarnished can choose to attack with each weapon, in addition to the bare ?st.REQ2: The Land of Shadow
Image. The Land of Shadow (source:
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/eldenring/images/5/52/ER_The_Land_of_Shadows.jpeg/revision/latest/scal
e-to-width-down/1000?cb=20240221154538)
Inside the small shack, the Tarnished can pick up two items: Flask of Healing ( u ) and Flask of
Rejuvenation ( o ). Both items can be consumed by the Tarnished. Similar to the weapons in REQ1,
both items can be dropped o? at any time.
Upon use, Flask of Healing heals the Tarnished by 150 hit points. This ?ask has 5 charges, i.e., it can be
consumed by the Tarnished 5 times.
Flask of Rejuvenation restores the Tarnished’s mana by 100 points when used. Unlike the Flask of
Healing, this ?ask only has 3 charges.
Once a ?ask (Flask of Healing or Flask of Rejuvenation) runs out of charges, it will not vanish from the
world, i.e., the Tarnished can still choose to consume the empty ?ask, but attempting to consume an
empty ?ask will result in a message, such as Flask of Healing is empty or Flask of
Rejuvenation is empty , to be displayed on the screen.
Heading out to explore the Land of Shadow, the Tarnished ?nds several Shadowtree Fragments ( e )
scattered around, which can be picked up and dropped o? at any time. Consuming one Shadowtree
Fragment blesses the Tarnished, increasing their maximum hit points by 50 points, their maximum
mana by 25 points, and their maximum strength points by 5 points.
Alexander says, "Pray thee, kind soul, lend thine aid in this endeavour, for together we shall achieve greatness."
You must manually put 5 instances of the Shadowtree Fragment on the ?rst game map.
Unlike the Flask of Healing and Flask of Rejuvenation, once consumed, the Shadowtree Fragment will disappear from the Tarnished’s inventory, i.e., it can only be consumed once.
Here are some design considerations when working on this requirement (Note that this list is non-exhaustive):
- In the future version of the game, there could be other “things” that the Tarnished can consume.
- A “thing” may not always be an item.
- Once consumed, these “things” may produce di?erent e?ects, such as poisoning the player, healing the
player over time, etc.
Can your design accomodate this potential extension while adhering to the principles taught in the unit, e.g.,
the SOLID principles?REQ3: The Furnace Golem
Expand
Image. The Furnace Golem (source:
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/eldenring/images/0/08/Shadow_of_the_Erdtree_promotional_screenshot_2
.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20240221190058)
The Furnace Golems ( A ) are foes that the Tarnished must face in the Land of Shadow. They are large
titans with ?ames set eternally ablaze in their basket-like torso.
A Furnace Golem has 1000 hit points. It can wander around the game map.
If the Tarnished is within its surroundings (adjacent squares), the golem will stop wandering around,
but instead, it will stomp the Tarnished with its foot, dealing 100 damage with a 5% chance to hit.
Alexander says, “An enemy’s blade may not seek their own ally, yet in the clash of arms, unintended harm may befall.”
An enemy cannot directly target and attack another enemy. An enemy's attack may result in a collateral
damage to another enemy.
Alexander says, "Pray thee, kind soul, the heavens proclaim thy name should thee meet thy end, for it is a reminder of our
mortal trials."
Make sure to print out the "YOU DIED" message when the Tarnished dies.
Once within its surroundings, the Furnace Golem will follow the Tarnished around the map until either
one of them dies.
Alexander says, "Venture forth upon the path to the Red Planet, and grand rewards shall be thine!"
It also cannot enter the ?oor ( _ ), allowing the Tarnished to escape safely to the small shack if needed.Here are some design considerations when working on this requirement (Note that this list is non-exhaustive)
- There may be other NPCs (non-playable characters) in the future version of the game, which may or may not
be hostile towards the Tarnished.
- Other NPCs may be able to wander around and attack the Tarnished if they are hostile. They may have other
ways of behaving, e.g., following the Tarnished around, picking up items, etc.
- There's a possibility to have more behaviours in the future, and these behaviours must be 'ordered' to
simulate a "rule-based Arti?cial Intelligence".
Can your design accomodate this potential extension while adhering to the principles taught in the unit, e.g.,
the SOLID principles?REQ4: "O Tarnished of no renown, you shall burn"
Expand
Image. The Furnace Golem's stomp attack, resulting in a large explosion within its surroundings area
(source: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/?le/Elden-Ring/furnace-golem-elden-ring-wiki.jpg)
Due to its size, a Furnace Golem stomp has a 10% chance to create an explosion regardless of whether
the stomp attack hits the Tarnished, dealing 50 collateral damage to all actors (friends or foes) within
the golem's surroundings. This means that there is a possibility for the Golem to deal damage twice
to the tarnished: one with its stomp attack and the other one with the explosion.
Alexander again says, “An enemy’s blade may not seek their own ally, yet in the clash of arms, unintended harm may
befall.”
An enemy cannot directly target and attack another enemy. An enemy's attack may result in a collateral
damage to another enemy.
Alexander says, "Beware the giant’s onslaught, for their might is great and their wrath ?erce."
Make sure to print out a message when the Furnace Golem deals the explosion damage, e.g., Furnace
Golem's stomp attack results in shockwave in the surrounding areas.
Additionally, the explosion results in the surrounding area of the Furnace Golem being burned. The
?re ( w ) lasts for 5 turns. If the tarnished stands within the burning ground, they will take 5 damage
per turn. The Furnace Golem itself is resistant to ?re, i.e., stepping into the burning ground will not
in?ict damage upon it. Puddles ( ~ ), however, cannot be burned, allowing the Tarnished to stay safe
from the burn damage, i.e., Other grounds, including Dirt, Wall, and Floor can be burned. Once the
burning ends, the ground will return to its original form.
Depending on your implementation, the ?re damage may stack if the Furnace Golem burns the
same locations over and over again.Here are some design considerations when working on this requirement (Note that this list is non-exhaustive)
- Other NPCs' attack may result in a di?erent e?ect, e.g. Furnace Golem's attack can cause a shockwave,
damaging all actors within its surroundings.
- There may be other types of grounds that are not burnable.
- Other NPCs' may be resistant to burning
Can your design accomodate this potential extension while adhering to the principles taught in the unit, e.g.,
the SOLID principles?Submission Instructions
Not following any one of the instructions below will result in penalty being applied to your ?nal submission.
You do not need to submit an interaction diagram (e.g. sequence diagram or communication diagram) in
assignment 1. However, you will need to submit these documents for assignment 2 and assignment 3. For
assignment 1, you may still create these documents if you ?nd them useful for designing the system although
we cover them in later weeks.
We will mark your assignment based on the latest commit in the main branch in your GitLab repository by the
due date, not in the master branch.
Class Diagrams & Documentation Submission
As mentioned in the Design & Diagrams section, you MUST create one design (class)
diagram per requirement. In other words, each requirement must be represented in its own
separate diagram. Organising them in one large design diagram or combining requirements
based on their packages is not allowed. Doing so may reduce the clarity of your design diagram
or could be seen as an attempt at reverse engineering. Penalties will be applied if this occurs.
Please keep each requirement diagram distinct and avoid any attempts to merge or combine
them.
You MUST save your design documentation, including design diagrams, rationale and report
(diagram + rationale combined into a single document), in the
"docs/design/{assignmentName}" directory. So, for Assignment 1, you must save all design
documentation in the "docs/design/assignment1" directory.
TAs cannot be expected to look at other directories, except for "docs/design/{assignmentName}", when
marking the design diagrams and rationale.
All design documentation must be saved in PDF format (or PNG/PDF for diagrams, such as
REQ1.png, REQ2.png, and so on).
A Moodle submission is compulsory, and it must be done before the deadline. Please,
compress ALL ?les (code, documentation, and diagrams) as one zip ?le, and submit the
compressed ?le.
Disclaimer: Although there are multiple ways to design the game, there are also bad designs and good designs
- we will mark your submission not against one design but based on the design principles
Design DiagramsWe expect you to produce four UML class diagrams following the FIT2099 Assignment Rules. These
Rules are available on EdLesson.
You should not create one class diagram that shows the entire system. The sample diagram in
the base code shows the whole system to help you understand how the game works with the
engine . But, in this assignment, you only need to show the following:
the new parts,
the parts you expect to change, and
enough information to let readers know where your new classes ?t into the existing system.
As it is likely that the precise names and signatures of methods will be refactored during
development, you do not have to put them in these class diagrams. Instead, the overall
responsibilities of the classes need to be documented somewhere, as you will need this information to
begin implementation. This can be done in a separate text document ( .md markdown format) or
spreadsheet, which you should put inside the docs directory. We will not assess this document, but
we believe it will be handy during the implementation phase.
Design Rationale
A design rationale should be created for each requirement, with a maximum word limit of 1,000 words per
requirement. However, aim for concise and focused explanations (at least ~500 words). You can submit a single
text-based/PDF document.
To help us understand how your system will work, you must also write a design rationale to explain
your choices. You must demonstrate how your proposed system will work and why you chose to do
it that way. Here is where you should write down concepts and theories you've learnt so far (e.g.,
DRY, coupling and cohesion, etc.). You must consider the pros and cons of the design to justify your
argument.
The design (which includes all the diagrams and text that you create) must clearly show the following:
what classes will exist in your extended system
what the roles and responsibilities of any new or signi?cantly modi?ed classes are
how these classes relate to and interact with the existing system
how the (existing and new) classes will interact to deliver the required functionality
You are not required to create new documentation for components of the existing system that you do
not plan to change.
IMPORTANT! We will not accept any Word document because it cannot be opened/displayed in Gitlab.
ImplementationWe will assess your design implementation (i.e., Java codes). We will assess all of your codes in the
Gitlab repository. Please ensure you push/merge all of your local Java codes to the main branch.
You need to ensure that your game can run without breaking. Please follow the "Testing Instructions"
from each requirement to satisfy the completeness of its features.
A reminder: you must not modify the game engine, as stated in the assignment rules document.
Your implementation must adhere to the Google Java coding standards.
Google Java coding standards: https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html#s5-naming
Write Javadoc comments for at least all public and protected methods and attributes in your classes.
You will be marked on your adherence to the standards, Javadoc, and general commenting guidelines
that were posted to EdStem earlier in the semester.
To ensure that your work adheres to good coding practices in this unit, we encourage you to minimise the use
of instanceof and/or downcasting, as they are considered code smells. It's important to note that if there are
any instances where you need to use them, please provide appropriate justi?cations in code comments or
design rationale. We believe learning how to properly utilise polymorphism is crucial in addressing this code
smell, and we are committed to teaching you how to do so e?ectively.Marking Rubric
Assignment 1 rubric
Prerequisite for marking: Design documents (UML diagrams and design rationale) and
implementation need to be submitted for the assignment to go through the marking process. Missing
any of these will result in 0 marks.
Overview:
Total: 28 points
Feature implementation completeness (6 points)
Implementation quality: design principles (8 points)
Design rationale (4 marks)
Integration with the existing system (2 points)
UML syntax and clarity (2 points)
Alignment and design consistency (2 points)
Style & Javadoc (1 point)
Git usage (2 points)
Format and directory structure (1 point)
Detailed rubric items:
Feature implementation completeness (6 points)
6 marks - The system runs and perfectly meets all functional expectations as per the relevant
requirement(s) with no runtime errors. All required classes and relationships are implemented, and
the program's behaviour aligns perfectly with the speci?cation.
5 marks - The system runs and meets all functional expectations (with some minor errors or
punctual omissions) as per the relevant requirement(s). All necessary classes and relationships are
included, and the program's behaviour largely matches the speci?cation, except for one or two
minor unexpected behaviours. No runtime errors occur.
4 marks - The system runs and partially meets all functional expectations, displaying several
minor functional errors or omissions as per the relevant requirement(s). Despite this, the majority
of necessary classes and relationships are included, and only a few minor unexpected behaviours
occur. No runtime errors are present.3 marks - The system runs and all functional expectations were addressed to some extent,
(with one or two major functional errors) as per the relevant requirement(s). Most important classes
and relationships are included but at least one or two major unexpected behaviors are
observed. A major unexpected behaviour is that which a?ects considerably the completeness of at
least one requirement. No runtime errors occur.
2 marks - The system runs but several functional expectations were not addressed as per the
relevant requirement(s) (e.g. the notion of Behaviour is not included even though it is a part of the
requirement). Alternatively, runtime errors occur during the execution of the system but they can be
easily ?xed.
1 mark - The system runs but addresses only some functional expectations and shows major
omissions as per the relevant requirement(s) (important classes or relationships are missing).
Alternatively, runtime errors occur during the execution of the system without a clear idea of the
cause or cannot be easily ?xed.
0 marks - The system runs but it poorly addresses or doesn’t address the functional
expectations as per the relevant requirement(s). Alternatively, the system might not run at all.
Implementation quality: design principles (8 points)
This item applies across all functional expectations as per the relevant requirement(s)
8 marks - The implementation of all functional expectations as per the relevant requirement(s)
?awlessly adheres to good design principles and concepts (e.g., DRY and SOLID principles),
making the design easy to extend and maintain. Any punctual violations are convincingly justi?ed in
the design rationale (e.g., using singleton to implement a feature). All relevant requirements have
been addressed.
7 marks - The implementation follows good design principles nearly perfectly making the design is
easy to extend and maintain (if some punctual principles are violated, the trade-o? is somewhat
justi?ed in the design rationale. All relevant requirements have been addressed.
6 marks - The implementation involves one or two minor violations of design principles (could
be easily ?xed) across all functional expectations as per the relevant requirement(s) (e.g., some
attributes are not set to private without any justi?cation). All relevant requirements have been
addressed.
5 marks - The implementation involves minor violations of design principles in multiple places
(could still be easily ?xed) across all functional expectations as per the relevant requirement(s). All
relevant requirements have been addressed.
4 marks - The implementation involves one or two non-severe violations of design principles
that could be implemented in a better way (no trade-o?s are convincingly provided in the
design rationale) across all functional expectations as per the relevant requirement(s) (e.g. some code repetitions are found in the implementation that would require some refactoring to be ?xed). All
relevant requirements have been addressed.
3 marks - The implementation involves non-severe violations of design principles in multiple
places (no trade-o?s are convincingly provided in the design rationale). All relevant requirements
have been addressed.
2 marks - The implementation involves one or two severe violations of design principles that could
be implemented in a better way across all functional expectations as per the relevant requirement(s),
e.g. violating the basic principles covered so far. Fixing them would require substantial refactoring.
Alternatively, not all relevant requirements have been attempted.
1 mark - The design/implementation can be considered hacky or various instances of procedural
programming are found. For example, the implementation uses downcasting and ‘instanceof’ in
various cases without a convincing justi?cation. Alternatively, it can also be the case that abstraction
is not used, making the design di?cult to extend and maintain. Alternatively, only some relevant
requirements have been attempted.
0 marks - The implementation mainly follows a non-OO paradigm; or the UML class diagram(s) or the
implementation is missing. Alternatively, most relevant requirements have not been attempted.
Design rationale (4 points)
4 marks - The design rationale includes a description of what has been done and why, focusing on
the principles and concepts taught in the unit (such as DRY and SOLID principles) and not in terms of
game design. The rationale discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the design (pros and
cons), the reasons for choosing the current design, and ways in which it can be easily extended
(e.g. my design achieves OCP because if a new character is added in the future ...). All relevant
requirements have been addressed.
3 marks - The rationale describes what has been done and why, based on the principles and
concepts taught in the unit. It also includes some discussion of the pros and cons of the design and
the reasons for the current design choice but lacks examples of future extensibility. All relevant
requirements have been addressed.
2 marks - The rationale describes what has been done and why, aligning with the principles and
concepts taught in the unit. However, it lacks a discussion on the pros and cons of the design
and/or examples of future extensibility. All relevant requirements have been addressed.
1 mark - The rationale primarily describes what has been done without a thorough explanation
of the decision-making reasons. For instance, it may mention design principles ad concepts without
providing convincing explanations, discussion of pros and cons, or examples of how the system can
be extended. Alternatively, not all relevant requirements have been attempted.
0 marks - The design rationale is either very challenging to read, is missing, or the submitted work omits more than one relevant requirement.
Integration with the existing system (2 points)
This item applies across all relevant requirements.
2 marks - The implementation e?ectively uses the engine classes (e.g. the submitted work
demonstrates that the students understand the di?erence between actions and behaviours). All
relevant requirements have been addressed.
1 mark - The implementation does not use some engine classes as intended (e.g. behaviours are
created for some actions that do not need it, such as actions performed by the player) or includes
custom classes for functionality that could be implemented with the engine class (e.g.
created a custom ground class instead of using the ground class given in the engine package). Most
relevant requirements have been addressed.
0 marks - The engine has been modi?ed in a minor or signi?cant way OR the UML class diagram OR
the implementation is missing
UML syntax and clarity (2 points)
This item applies across all relevant requirements.
2 marks - Relevant (static and/or dynamic) diagrams are perfect in terms of syntax, with no
missing multiplicities, correct arrowheads for all relationships, and appropriate usage of realisation
for classes implementing interfaces, generalisation for classes or interfaces inheriting others, etc.
Diagram formatting is consistent and clear. All requested diagrams have been submitted.
1 mark - Diagram(s) contain some minor syntax errors, such as missing multiplicities for several
associations, inappropriate use of generalisation for classes implementing interfaces, realisation for
classes extending others, or classes extending multiple classes, etc. Nonetheless, the design can still
be understood by the TA with a little e?ort. Alternatively, there are several inconsistencies across
diagrams. All necessary diagrams have been submitted.
0 marks - Diagram(s) are signi?cantly hard to understand or show major inconsistencies in formatting
and clarity, OR more than one required diagram is missing, OR they do not resemble a UML diagram
as required.
Alignment and design consistency (2 points) - incl.
Design rationale, code and UML diagrams
2 marks - The design rationale and UML diagrams are in perfect alignment with each other and
with the code implementation across all functional expectations, as per the relevant requirement(s). All relevant requirements have been addressed or attempted and they are covered in the
implementation, UML diagrams and design rationale.
1 mark - There are some small inconsistencies (that can be easily ?xed) between the design
documents and the implementation, but all relevant requirements have been addressed or
attempted, and they are covered in the implementation, UML diagrams and design rationale.
0 marks - There are major inconsistencies (which would necessitate signi?cant changes for
correction) or numerous smaller discrepancies distributed throughout the design documents and
the implementation. Alternatively, one or more than one required diagram or implemented
requirement is missing, or some submitted design documents do not resemble the required UML
diagram format.
Style & Javadoc (1 point)
1 mark - The code is properly documented with Javadoc across all functional expectations as per the
relevant requirement(s), including class-level and method-level documentation. The Google Java Style
guide is followed properly (e.g. package names are written in lowercase, attributes and variables
names are written in lowerCamelCase, class names are written in UpperCamelCase, etc.). All relevant
requirements have been addressed or attempted.
0.5 marks - Some classes and methods are missing Javadoc documentation OR some classes do not
follow the Google Java style guide
0 marks - Most classes and methods are missing Javadoc documentation OR The Google Java style
guide is not followed.
Git usage (2 points)
2 marks - At least 15 meaningful commits have been logged (with meaningful comments) each with
a descriptive commit comment (note: default comments from the web UI don't count.), ideally, one
commit per week previous to the submission deadline.
1 mark - Between 7 and 14 meaningful commits have been logged (with meaningful comments)
each with a descriptive commit comment (note: default comments from the web UI don't count.) OR
there are more than 10 commits but ALL were done on the week of the submission deadline.
0 marks - There are less than 7 commits OR commit messages do not correspond to the changes in
the code.
IMPORTANT: if most of the code has been (in practice) uploaded in one go the whole assignment will not be
marked and 0 marks will be awarded. Project formatting and directory structure (1 point)
1 mark - If the directory structure suggested in the speci?cation has been followed. All the documents
are easily found where expected.
0 marks - The suggested directory structure was not followed and some ?les may be hard to ?nd.
Handover Interview (Compulsory)
COMPLETED - The student can answer all (or at least 2) questions during the handover interview
satisfactorily. The responses need to demonstrate that the student understands the various parts of
the submitted assignment.
NOT COMPLETED If two or more questions are not responded to adequately and sensibly. The
remaining question(s) is/are partly responded to, but it is unclear whether the student understands
their own work.
IMPORTANT: Failing to have meaningful commits (i.e. showing that the task was progressively completed) or
