Assignment: Create a project proposal document containing the following six details, labeled appropriately.  Save the file in our shared S: drive “Project in CS” Writeable area in the “Project Proposal” folder.  The name of the MS Word file should be <Your Name> – <Short Title of Project>, ie.  “Alan Turing – Code Breaker.docx”  (If you have an alternative document file format, check with me first to make sure we all can easily read it.)  Make sure to include your name as the author of the document.

Project Title:
A descriptive name for your project

Description:
Write a description of a project you have in mind for this class.  Make it at least a solid paragraphs or equivalent outline but no more than a page.  The project could include tools tool that for other classes (i.e. a Physics calculator), practical concepts that you have heard of and want to try out, or perhaps improvements to a project you started before.  Keep in mind there are a few more details to answer too…

Features:
List at least 5 features that you would want your project to have; these could be integrated into the Description, but make sure to list them out explicitly.  Here are a few suggestions for three different kinds of projects:

• user can play against an AI opponent, user can select different characters to play as, points are scored for each player…
• user can select atoms from the periodic table, selected atoms are shown in three dimensional space, user can add more atoms to see how they interact…
• 8 buttons trigger the lights on each of the 8 corners of the cube, a lit up element (LED) moves through the cube wrapping through the sides, the moving lit element “bounces” off of other lit elements (i.e. the corners)…

Target User/Customer:
Who would be the user or “customer” of the resulting project?  What value would it provide them?  Write a short paragraph or list of kinds of user and how it would benefit them.

Technologies:
What do you propose to implement the project in?  List out the Language, tools to aid in its development, and hardware required.  You can suggest options, if you think there are possibilities.

Initial Estimate:
How many “Student Weeks” do you estimate this will take?  Just a ballpark estimate of how many weeks of student time you think it might take to implement the project.  Ideally the length could be almost halved by assigning two students to it.  I realize that this is a very rough estimate, but I want you to start thinking about the scope of the project.
