Assessment Task 2
Individual programming project: BubblePop Game
Due 22 Jan 2021 at 11:59 pm
This project is worth 30% of the overall mark for this subject.
Introduction
A client has just hired you to develop a casual iOS game based on an idea he had recently. He
has no programming experiences and only knows the overall functions the game must have.
You must help him to work out a detailed Graphical User Interface (GUI), design a wellstructured
program and implement the program in the Swift programming language. The final
product shall be thoroughly tested and ready to be submitted to the App Store.

Objectives
The purpose of this project is to demonstrate competence in the following skills:
The full software development cycle
iOS App UI and program design
iOS UI programming
Effective use of platform APIs
Program testing
Functionality Specification
The game is called BubblePop (you can call your app a different name if you wish to). In this
game, a number of bubbles are randomly displayed on an iOS device screen. A player pops a
bubble by touching the bubble, and every time they pop a bubble they earn a certain number of
points. Bubbles come in five colours: red, pink, green, blue and black. Each colour corresponds
to a specific number of points and has a specific probability of appearance (see table 1). All
bubbles appear on the screen briefly (see core functionality 9). A player needs to pop as many
bubbles as possible within a certain timeframe (default to 60 seconds) to get high scores. Note
that, if a player pops two or more bubbles of the same colour consecutively, they earn 1.5 times
the points for the additional bubbles they pop. Finally, game scores are saved and a high score
board is displayed after a game run is finished. Figure 1 provides a rough mock up of what the
main interface may look like. NOTE: Figure 1 gives you a guide for your GUI, you may design a

more sophisticated and more polished GUI for your own work. You will get 1 functionality mark
for each functionality item specified below.

Core Functionalities
1. A player must be able to enter their name before the start of a game run. (You may load
the player's name from the GameKit API if you wish. This extra work is not required.)
2. A game timer shall be displayed and it must count down continuously in one-second
intervals. When the timer reaches zero, the game stops.
3. A score shall be displayed. It shall be zero initially and shall be updated every time the
player successfully “pops” a bubble.
4. The default timeframe for a game is 60 seconds, i.e. the game timer starts from 60
seconds and counts down to 0. This number shall be adjustable in the app settings.
5. The maximum number of bubbles displayed on the screen is defaulted to 15, i.e. there
shall be between 0 and 15 bubbles shown on the screen at the same time. This number
shall be adjustable in the app settings.
6. The app randomly decides how many bubbles (up to the maximum allowed bubble
number) shall be displayed on the screen at a time. The bubble colour is decided according
to the Probability of Appearance in Table 142889留学生编程代做、代写programming程序
7. Bubbles shall be displayed at random positions on the screen with the following
restrictions:
1. The entire bubble shall be displayed within the screen. There shall not be any bubble
with some parts off the screen once it has fully appeared.
2. No two (or more) bubbles shall overlap each other.
8. When a player touches a bubble, the bubble shall be removed from the screen and the
corresponding game points shall be added to the overall score. For example, if the green
bubble in Figure 1 was touched, it shall disappear and the score shall increase by 5 game
points. If two or more bubbles of the same colour are popped in a consecutive sequence,
the bubbles after the first one will get 1.5 times their original game points. For example, if
two black bubbles were popped one after the other, 25 (10 + 1.5 * 10) shall be added to
the total score. Round to the nearest integer if necessary.
9. The app shall refresh bubbles displayed every game second. That is, after every game
second, the app shall randomly remove a number of bubbles (do not include the bubbles
that have been popped by the player) and replace them with another set of randomly
positioned bubbles. There may be more or less bubbles on the screen compared with the
previous game second subjected to the restrictions in 5 and 6. In this case, "random"
means chosen by the program, not the user. So you have a lot of discretion in
placement of new bubbles and selection of old bubbles.
10. When the game stops, the player’s score shall be saved in a persistent file (or database)
that contains all players’ names and their highest scores.
11. At the end of the game, a high score board shall be displayed with the names and scores
of the highest ranking players. (See Figure 2)
Extended Functionalities (please do not start on these until finishing CFs)
1. In addition to core function 7 and 9, displayed bubbles shall move and go off the screen if
they are not removed earlier. Their moving speed shall increase as the game timer counts
down. You decide the rate of change with respect to the game timer.
2. Animations of game state transitions. For example, one of:
1. Flashing count down 3, 2, 1 start at the beginning of play
2. Bubbles shrinking, growing, or flying away when removed or tapped
3. Score changes or combo lengths displayed with animations in response to taps
3. The highest score in the scoreboard shall be displayed during gameplay.
4. Any cool and useful features that you can think of.
PROGRAM/TEST HINT
Make sure your program works under different iOS devices/simulators (e.g. iPhone4s, iPad
etc.) with different screen sizes and orientations.
For core functionality 4 and 5, the game time and the maximum number of bubbles can be
set in the app settings. How can you make sure their settings are valid? How can you
prevent a user from setting a negative or a very large number for these settings. Think
about how to communicate these constraints to the user in a comfortable way.
Assessment
You need to submit your assesment in Canvas on 22 Jan 2021.
Max score: 30 marks
Functionality: 20 marks
The Xcode project must unzip successfully and compile without errors.
15 marks for specified functionalities.
Full marks in functionality requires the completion of all CFs and EFs
2 marks for compiling without warnings.

Program Design: 7 marks
Data modeling: Do the data structures reflect the problem domain?
Immutable data and idempotent methods: Is the type system used to prevent incorrect
code from being written?
Functional separation: Is the problem broken down into meaningful parts?
Loose coupling: Can parts be changed in isolation of each other?
Extensibility: How easy would it be to add, remove, or change functionality? Could a new
mechanic or new content be added by changing data instead of changing code?
Error handling: Are errors detected at appropriate places? Is the user prevented from
entering invalid input and guided toward valid input?
Late submission
Late submissions may be demonstrated in lab the following week.
Deduct 1 mark per 24 hours late (rounded up). Submissions will not be accepted after the Final
Due Date (7 days after the standard due date).
Please note: Regardless of how many times you have submitted your project, if your final
submission is after the due date it will be considered late and marks will deducted accordingly.
An extension will only be granted if there is a fully documented reason which merits it. The
documentation must be presented to the Subject Coordinator before the due date. Extensions
after the Final Due Date will never be granted under any circumstance. If an extension is
granted that means submission will be accepted up to the extension date without penalty. If an
extension is granted, UTS Online will show the extended due date.
Students may apply for special consideration if they consider that illness or misadventure has
adversely affected their performance.
Bug reports
It is quite possible that errors or ambiguities may be found in the specification. If so, updates
will be placed on Canvas and announcements made regarding the amendment. It is your
responsibility to keep up to date on such amendments and ensure you are using the latest
version of the Project Description.
If you discover an error or bug in the provided material, you will receive favorable marking. The
following rules apply:
1. It must be a report on the currently posted version of the material.
2. It must be reported on the Canvas discussion board to be accepted.
3. It must be a genuine bug. By genuine I mean it requires me to amend the material.
4. If a number of students post a report on the same bug, the first who posted will receive
the mark.
Return of Assessed Project
It is expected that marks will be made available one week after the final due date via
Canvas. You will be given the marks and feedback.
Acceptable Practice vs Academic Malpractice
Students should be aware that there is no group work within this assessment. All work
must be individual. However, it is considered acceptable practice to adapt code examples
found in the lecture notes, labs and the text book for the assignment. Code adapted from
any other source, particularly the Internet and other student assignments, will be
considered academic malpractice. The point of the assignment is to demonstrate your
understanding of the subject material covered. It's not about being able to find solutions
on the Internet.
You should also note that assignment submissions will be checked using software that
detects similarities between students programs.
Participants are reminded of the principles laid down in the "Statement of Good Practice
and Ethics in Informal Assessment" in the Faculty Handbook. Assignments in this subject
should be your own original work. Any collaboration with another participant should be
limited to those matters described in the "Acceptable Behaviour" section. Any
infringement by a participant will be considered a breach of discipline and will be dealt
with in accordance with the Rules and By-Laws the University. The Faculty penalty for
proven misconduct of this nature is zero marks for the subject. For more information, see
UTS Policy on Academic integrity, plagiarism and cheating
