Einreichung von ﾜbungsaufgaben
Please note the following points:
- Send your solution as a zip archive with the name.
- The zip archive should contain all relevant files (project, AS, FLA, and SWF files).
Projektaufgabe
The project assignment involves realizing a multimedia application in project teams of approximately 6 participants using Flash/ActionScript technology.
Einf鮬rung und Aufgabenstellung
- Slides for the introductory event (PDF; one-sided and two-sided)
- Teams
Versionsmanagement
- Create a repository: instructions from the computer operations group
- Free Windows client: TortoiseSVN
Zeitabrechnung
All participants should keep a record of their working hours. This should include notes on which activities were performed and how many hours were spent on each task.
Possible activities:
- Planning area:
- Team organization
- Creative idea finding
- Technical concept
- Design area:
- Graphic design
- Sound integration
- Implementation area:
- (New) implementation
- Error search
- Refactoring
For each activity, note the number of working hours spent. Other activities should be noted as "Other" with a brief description.
At least every 14 days, the list should be entered into the web form (please fill out carefully).
Electroserver
Can be downloaded free of charge for various operating systems. On the same download page (at the bottom), simple examples are also available.
Usage:
- Server:
- Can be installed under Linux or Windows
- IP address and port must be specified in the file (entry "ChatServer"). Specification of the local computer (127.0.0.1) is also possible.
- Client-side, only the three AS classes from the directory "Examples/Flash MX 2004/as" are needed.
Unfortunately, the implementation and documentation of the supplied client class (Electroserver.as) are not entirely error-free. Often, it helps to look directly at the code of the class if something does not work. So far, the following errors have been noticed:
- IP and port must be set using
setIP()andsetPort().
