Technical Design Document Evaluation - CMPS 20 - Game Design Experience

Assessment of the technical design document will focus on completeness of the UML structure diagram (90%), and whether the design description document was submitted (10%).

UML Structure Diagram.

• Format. Does the diagram follow UML formatting conventions for classes, class variables, methods, inheritance arcs, and containment arcs?
• Completeness. How complete is the diagram? Do all classes list their methods and class variables? Are all classes that will be in the final game described? Does the diagram describe audio, input handling, collision detection, updating, and drawing?
• Inter-class relationships. Does the document have the appropriate arcs for inheritance and containment relationships among classes?
• Consistency. Are all of the classes in the diagram consistent with the classes and methods used in the UML sequence diagrams?
• Connections to frameworks. Does the diagram clearly show where your classes connect (inherent) from framework classes, such as XNA classes?
