Computer Science 15-111 (Sections A & B), Spring 2007

Class Notes: 25-Apr-2007 thru 30-Apr-2007

Logistics:

1. Final Exam:
15-111-1: Thu May 10, 8:30am - 11:30am, PH A18A & PH A18B

2. Hw7: Weighted Grades
weightedScore = 40 + (2/3)*rawScore
90 -> 100
60 -> 80
30 -> 60
Max = 106
Non-Zero Median = 85

3. Hw8: "Minimum Alternative Grading System"
If you made “appreciable effort” for most of the assignment, then the minimum grade is a 75 regardless of the computed grade.

4. Quiz 6 Part 2: Take-Home
Quiz 6 Part 2 is now a take-home quiz, and it is due along with your regular hw9 submission.

5. Quiz 7: Weighted Grades = 7 + 100*(RawScore/30)
So: 24/30 --> 87
Median: 80

6. Hw9: Othello
Write a GUI-based minimax-based player-vs-computer game of Othello.

7. Test 2: Weighted Grades
weightedScore = 40 + (2/3)*rawScore%
90 -> 100
60 -> 80
30 -> 60
Max = 104
Median = 83

Topic: Minimax and Connect4 (in preparation for Othello)

Over 3 class days, we will design and implement a simple minimax-based text-based game of Connect4. This will provide you with enough background for hw9, which is to write your own GUI-based, minimax-based game of Othello.
