# Session V - 15. Dec. 2021, 14:00-17:00 Our second game prototype session, in which Jackie will walk through a prototype for a memory game, with an open workshop part afterwards, for students to reimplement it. Additionally, in the beginning we talk about a subjective mid-term evaluation of the course and a new grading breakdown, which skips exercise 6 in favor of getting more points for all other exercises. The new grading breakdown is updated accordingly in the grading section of the [session plan of session 1](https://hackmd.io/@jackie/Sk4KcCWBK). As the jumping block game - initially planned for session 6 - is moved to the follow-up course next semester, now session 5 and 6 will both focus on the memory game. In this session we will create a first functioning prototype to play a simple memory game. In session 6 we will then improve on this prototype and use state and local storage to add features and make the game more configurable. ## Exercise Similar to session 6, the exercise for this session is mainly to recreate the memory game on your own, and make some smaller improvements in terms of styling. This is the acceptable low-effort variant. Everything counts, if it is not an exact 1:1 copy of the thing presented in the lecture part. Feel free to reuse the code, but the final result should at least look a little bit different in terms of styling. Additionally you could also: * Improve the styling, to make the game visually appealing * Use images or other items for the memory cards * Use effects / animations / sounds on success or errors * Implement some of the missing functionality If you have fun with this exercise and get into a flow, that allows you to do some of those bigger changes, this can also count towards your final project. In that case feel free to submit everything now for the exercise and use the same code base for the final project, then maybe only with a very few smaller changes. As we will extend the memory game in session 6, the deadline for this exercise is our final session in the course on Jan. 26. My suggestion therefore is to focus on all other unfinished exercises and only get the minimal prototype for the memory game running until session 6. Of course, if you already have all other exercises submitted and/or feel like this one can get you into a coding flow, feel free to submit early. To submit your exercise, go to our shared base cloud folder into the "Session 5 and 6 - Memory Game" folder. Inside of it create a folder with your student ID and name, where you can put your solution (there is a placeholder folder there as an example reference). Put your solution there until 26. Jan. 2022, 14:00, to get the full points. ## Review Due to the shifting in grading and still incoming exercise solutions, the peer review process is a bit behind. A reminder and new review assignments will be sent out within the next week. ## Virtual office hours For all remaining Wednesdays where no regular session is scheduled (except for Dec 29), Jackie will hold virtual office hours from 14:00 - 16:00 in our Artful Coding Zoom Room. --- This page is part of the course website at https://tantemalkah.at/2021/artful-coding All contents, where not otherwise noted, are licensed by [Andrea Ida Malkah Klaura](https://tantemalkah.at/) under a [CC-BY-SA 4.0 license](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/?ref=chooser-v1).
