Final Project Proposal

Starting in a few weeks, you will be making a C++ application that leverages Cinder to do something interesting — and you get to choose what you want to make! The concrete requirements for your final project are:

• It must be a C++ application, using Cinder, of your own choosing and design
• It must be of sufficient complexity, and cannot be a repeat of a previous assignment
  • E.g, recreating Skyrim would be too difficult
  • Making a program that fetches and tells you the weather might be too easy

We expect this project to take you about 3 weeks of development time in total, with each week requiring about as much work as one of our assignments, so keep that in mind when thinking about the scope of your project.

Your proposal should go in the PROPOSAL.md file in the provided repository. It should be roughly 3-4 paragraphs long and include the following information:

• What project you want to do
• What background knowledge do you have on this kind of project, and why do you want to do this project? (Put another way, in what way will you be motivated to see this project to completion?)
• A rough timeline of what will get accomplished and when (e.g, "By the end of Week 2, I will have implemented XYZ and will start working on ABC")
• If you were to finish the project early, what extra "stretch goals" could you implement?

Your moderator will be responsible for approving or requesting changes to your proposal, but it's okay if you change your mind on some of these details later.

Make sure you read the guide on Markdown so that you can properly format your proposal.

External Libraries

Using an external library is optional, but it can help you accomplish a lot more than if you try to implement everything yourself. If you have a library in mind, feel free to include it in your project proposal!
