FAQ

Do I create a new repository in Modules Six and Seven?

No. Keep using the same personal it140-projects repository created for Project One.

What do I submit in Module Five?

Project One submits:

• game_storyboard.md
• game_map.drawio
• move.pseudo
• get_item.pseudo

Follow the current D2L What to Submit instructions for the exact submission process.

Should the Module Six prototype use my Project One map?

No. The milestone directions provide a small three-room dragon dictionary for the graded prototype. Your Project One movement pseudocode is a useful design reference, but the milestone uses the specified sample scenario.

What do I submit in Module Six?

move_between_rooms.py according to the current milestone instructions.

Is the Module Six prototype the beginning of my final source file?

It can provide useful movement, loop, branching, validation, and debugging experience. You may reuse/adapt appropriate ideas in Module Seven.

However, the final game must return to your own Project One world and add the requirements that the milestone intentionally omitted.

Should Project Two still end with exit?

No. The milestone uses exit for its simplified ending. Project Two ends when the player wins or loses according to the final project requirements.

What do I submit in Module Seven?

text_based_game.py according to the current Project Two instructions.

Do I submit the SDWs or test plan?

They are optional working files in this repository and are not graded submissions unless your instructor specifically tells you otherwise.

Can I change my Project One design after feedback?

Yes. The SDLC is iterative. If instructor feedback or implementation work reveals a problem, update the design so the final code remains consistent with it.

Why do Project Checks sometimes show a red X while I am working?

The workflow evaluates the current graded checkpoint. During a checkpoint, a required file may still contain starter TODOs or may not yet differ from the starter state. Review the workflow details and finish the checkpoint before expecting all checks to pass.

Does a green Project Checks run mean the assignment will earn full credit?

No. The workflow checks basic repository structure and completion signals. It does not grade design quality or prove every unique game path works.
