New Programming Language

TO DO

If you have chosen to do a new programming language as your culminating activity, there are a few key things to remember:

·         You must do the work in class and you must show Mr. Campeau your progress as you work through the language.

·         You must get your idea approved before starting.

·         You must show about 10 programs that you have written.  The programs must be yours!

·         You will have to write a small in-class performance task to show that you have mastered the basics of the language.

TO SUBMIT

·         You must submit your source code for your programs.

·         You must submit a written document with the following sections (and more):

o   Title Page

o   Setup Requirements- Explaining what software is needed and how to set it up (if it isn’t obvious)

o   Variables – Simply discuss basic variables

o   If statements – Show the structure and give examples

o   Loops – Show different loops and give examples

o   Functions – Show how to implement and call functions

o   Arrays – Show how to create and manipulate arrays

o   Graphics – Show a simple graphical application

EXTRAS

Of course, you will get more marks if you provide extra details such as:

·         How to implement OOP

·         How the language is utilized in the world

·         How it compares to other languages

·         Anything else that might be useful to know
