Project examples

Below you will find examples of final projects that groups have done in past iterations of this course.

For each of the examples I have listed major features the application needs to support.

• Search for articles or blogs of interest

Friend finder

• Create a profile for yourself and list your interests
• Search for people with common interests
• Arrange group activities

Text adventure game

• Design text adventure games
• Play games others have designed
• Games are a collection of scenes
• Each scene offers players a list of options for what to do next
• Game can also track player's inventories and incorporate that into the game logic

Textbook exchange

• Allows students to sell used textbooks after classes are done.
• Users can search for books by course or title
• Users who are looking for books for particular courses can post requests to buy those books.
• System can also display information about what books are required for which courses.

Projects that are not available

In CMSC 455 I developed a system that can act as the back end for an auction site, and students worked on a project to build a back end for a restaurant review site. Since these back ends have already been written, these two projects are not available to use for the CMSC 106 final project.
