Your game must have a GameManager class that is a subbclass of GameCanvas. Package your game as an executable JAR file following the instructions to Archive Your Files in How To Submit Homework Assignments. Do not forget to include all your game code, both source and executable, and README.txt file. ^ top Extra Credit Adding the following are worth extra credit points: Add an echo filter to your game. (1 point) Add 3D sound to your game. (1 point) Add 3D sound with panning to your game.

Each criteria represents a specific achievement of your assignment and has a scoring guide. The scoring guide explains the possible scores you can receive. Some scoring guides have a list of indicators. These indicators are a sign of meeting, or a symptom of not meeting, the specific criterion. Note that a single indicator may not always be reliable or appropriate in a given context. However, as a group, they show the condition of meeting the criterion. For information on grading policies, including interpretation of scores, see the course information page.
