CCN2042 Computer Programming
Group Project – Cooking Game
(Due: 23:59, 18 Apr 2019 (week 12 before Easter))
Expected Learning Outcomes
• familiarise themselves with at least one high level language programming environment.
• develop a structured and documented computer program.
• understand the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and apply it in computer
program development.
• apply the computer programming techniques to solve practical problems.
Introduction
In this assignment, you are going to develop the Cooking Game, a game that runs in the command line environment. The player needs to rapidly prepare and serve the burgers within a time limit.
This is a group assignment. You need to form a group with 5 to 6 students and write a Win32 Console Application program called CookGame.cpp. The requirements are listed below.
System Requirements
R0 When the program starts, the console should display a welcome message, and then the Game Menu of the program. User can enter the options of the corresponding actions (see R1 to R6 below).
Welcome Message designed by your group

When the user inputs 1 in the Game Menu, the game starts with the current game settings (see R2).
Initially, the order list will be shown in the console. Each order contains the following information:
1. Type of burgers (See R1.2)
2. Cooking status (See R1.3)
3. Remaining time (in form of m’ss”)
The initial number of orders will be randomly generated, and limited to the max number of order set in the game settings.
All the burgers’ initial status is “preparing”, and the remaining time is 40 seconds (time limit can be set in the game settings, see R2).
The initial score is 10.
A sample game starts as follow, where the order list is randomly generated:
*** Order list ***
Order #1: Cheese burger, preparing, 0’40”
Order #2: Beef burger, preparing, 0’40”
Order #3: Cheese burger, preparing, 0’40”
Order #4: mushroom burger, preparing, 0’40”
Order #5: salmon burger, preparing, 0’40” ———————————————–
Score: 10
Enter [U] for update, [Q] for Quit, or [1-5] for order:
Player can input the order number to process the order.
Player can input ‘u’ or ‘U’ to refresh the order list for updating the information (i.e. cooking status and remaining time) of all orders.
Player can input ‘q’ or ‘Q’ to quit the current game and return to the game menu.
Order list
The orders will be shown with the type of burgers, cooking status and the remaining time. The order list may not be in chronological order, such as:
Order #1: Cheese burger, preparing, 0’40”
Order #2: Beef burger, cooking, 0’35”
Order #3: Cheese burger, cooking, 0’20”
Order #4: mushroom burger, ready to serve, 0’09”
Order #5: salmon burger, preparing, 0’38”
Order #6: salmon burger, preparing, 0’40”
CCN2042 18-19 Semester 2 – Group Project 2
R1.2 Type of burgers
• There are five types of burgers with different ingredients in a specific order and different cooking time (in second):
• There are eight types of ingredients, symbols are shown as follow:
R1.3 Cooking Status
Each burger has to go through 3 statuses to complete: preparing, cooking and ready to serve.
Status: preparing
• The initial status of a burger is “preparing”.
• Player can input the order number to choose the order with status “preparing”. Then the “Process Order” page will be shown, for example:
Type of burgers
Ingredients orders
Cooking time
Cheese burger
Bread, cheese, beef, lettuce, bread

Please choose [U] for update, [R] for return, or type correct key list to start cooking:
• Player can input ‘u’ or ‘U’ to refresh the remaining time of the order.
• Player can input ‘r’ or ‘R’ to return to the order list.
• Player needs to type the correct order of ingredient symbols as specified in R1.2. For example, cheese burger as shown above, player needs to input: bcflb
CCN2042 18-19 Semester 2 – Group Project 3
• If the input is incorrect, an error message is displayed. Then the “Process Order” page is refreshed with updated remaining time. And the player needs to input again.
• If the input is correct, the system returns to the order list. The status of that order is changed to “cooking”.
• Player can continue to choose other orders to process. Status: cooking
• “cooking” player
• If the player chooses the order with status “cooking”, message should be prompted
to the player to let him/her know that the burger is not yet done.
• Each burger needs to be cooked with the cooking time specified in R1.2. For example, cheese burger needs to be cooked for 10 seconds.
• If the burger is cooked, the status of the burger will be changed from “cooking” to “ready to serve”.
Status: ready to serve
• Player can choose the order with status “ready to serve”.
• Then the burger will be served and the order will be removed from the order list. 10 marks will be awarded.
R1.4 Time limit
• There is a time limit for each order, which is the same for all types of burger and can be set in the game settings (see R2).
• The orders need to be served before the time limit is reached.
• The remaining time shown in the order list will be updated every time the order list is refreshed, e.g. player inputs ‘u’ or ‘U’ to update the order list, an order is served, or the program returns from the “process order” page.
• If the player failed to serve the burger within the time limit, the order will be removed from the order list. 5 marks will be deducted.
R1.5 New order generation
• New orders (can be more than one order) may be added to the order list whenever the order list is refreshed, e.g. player inputs ‘u’ or ‘U’ to update the order list, an order is served, or the program returns from the “process order” page.
• New orders are generated randomly with a certain probability (upon your design). CCN2042 18-19 Semester 2 – Group Project 4
When the burger is in the
status, the
has to wait until it is done.
Concurrently, the player can choose other order to process.
R1.6
Game rules / Scoring
• • • •
R1.7
When the game starts, the player will initially have 10 marks.
If the order is served on time, 10 marks will be awarded.
When the order cannot be served within the time limit, 5 marks will be deducted.
The game finishes when the score < 0. If the game finishes, the system should notice the player, and the program returns to the Game Menu.
Quit the game
Player can input ‘q’ or ‘Q’ in the order list page to quit the game. If this happens, the system should prompt for player’s confirmation. If the player inputs ‘y’ or ‘Y’, the game ends and the system returns to the Game Menu. If the player inputs ‘n’ or ‘N’, the game continues at its current status. Other input is not acceptable and the system should ask the player to confirm again.
[2] Settings
When the user inputs 2 in the Game Menu, the console displays the Settings Menu with current setting. User can enter the options of the corresponding actions (see R2.1 to R2.3 below).
*** Settings Menu ***

R6 [6] Exit
When the user inputs this option, the system prompts for user’s confirmation. If the user inputs ‘y’ or ‘Y’, the program terminates. If the user inputs ‘n’ or ‘N’, the system returns to the Game Menu. Other input is not acceptable and the system should ask the user to confirm again.
Other General Requirements
R7 Meaningful guidelines should be printed to assist with user’s input. Whenever an
option is selected, meaningful messages should be displayed.
R8 Suitable checking on user’s input is expected. Appropriate error messages should be printed whenever unexpected situation happens, e.g., invalid input, input out-of-range, etc.
R9 The use of functions (in addition to main function) and classes are expected in your program. Appropriate comments should be added in your source code file.
R10 Creativity and Critical Thinking: other features that you find useful (such as the “intelligence of computer player”) or can enhance the user experience can also be implemented.
Submission
Source File: Each group has to submit one source code file (i.e., CookGame.cpp) that
implements this group project.
Peer-to-peer Evaluation: Each student has to fill in and submit the peer-to-peer evaluation form (i.e., CCN2042_P2P_Evaluation.docx) for your group.
CCN2042 18-19 Semester 2 – Group Project 7
All submission should be done through Moodle by 23:59, 18 April 2019. Late submission is subject to 20% deduction in your final marks for each day (including public holidays and Sundays). No late submission is allowed 4 days after the due date.

Creativity and critical thinking (Additional useful features)
5%
Total (Group Mark)
100% (max)
Note: the length of your program does not affect the grading of the assignment. However, appropriate use of loops and functions are expected to avoid too many repeated codes in your program, which contributes to the program design score of this assignment.
Individual mark is determined by both group mark (80%) and individual contribution (20%), where individual contribution is directly proportion to the average marks given by group members in the peer-to-peer evaluation form.
Marks deduction
Marks will be deducted if the program fails to be compiled. The deduction is from 5 to 20 marks, depending on how serious the syntax error is. Note that if the program contains unacceptably too many serious syntax errors, your program will score 0 marks.
Syntax errors also lead to failure in the program correctness if the function cannot be tested. So please make sure that your program can be compiled successfully before your submission.
CCN2042 18-19 Semester 2 – Group Project 8
Tips
To refresh the console screen, you may use the following windows platform command
appropriately in your program:
system("cls"); // Clear everything on the screen system("pause"); // Wait until user pressing any key to continue
To handle unexpected input error (e.g. input a character to an integer variable), you may use the following code appropriately in your program:
cin.ignore(); // Discard the content in the input sequence cin.clear(); // Reset the input error status to no error
** Ensure the originality of your work. Plagiarism in any form is highly prohibited. **
