This repository contains the work I completed for the course CSCI2312 Object Oriented Programming at the University of Colorado Denver. I completed this course concurrently with CSCI2421 Data Structures and Program Design.
This project has no non-standard library dependencies. I wrote a majority of this code using CMake in CLion. However, homework requirements dictate that each assignment must have a working makefile from a standard template distributed at the beginning of the class. Thus, each folder contains a make file. If you have g++ installed, all you have to do is clone the repository and run make in a directory to build the project. The executable will be place in that directory. I do not include CMakeLists.txt.
The most important folder/assignment is the final project. All of the other assignments build towards this project. It is a complete implementation of a human v. CPU game of battleship.
I put a lot of effort into documenting the code in this repository. All functions, variables, blocks, includes, and classes have documentation-style comments detailing the name, type, purpose, and details of the following code.
/**
* placeShips()
*
* method
*
* uses an advanced machine-learning VR blockchain algorithm to place the computer player's ships in its
* grid before the game starts
*
* "machine-learning VR blockchain algorithm" is a joke.
*
* this function does not guarantee its own success
*
* it places each shp type sequentially in a random location on the grid. if that spot is not valid, it generates
* a new random ship of the same type and tries again
*
* after 10,000 tries on one ship type, it assumes the grid is full and gives up; this throws an exception
*
* in my testing, this has worked fine (see unit testing in test())
*/
void placeShips() override;Starting in HW03, I wrote automated testing for each assignment. Using a few functions as a very basic testing suite, I test the critical functionality of each assignment. I also compare the pros/cons of unit/integration/e2e testing. See the function test() in each main file for the testing written for that assignment.
