Project Rubric

Suggested weighting:

Area	Weight	Looks for
Labs	35%	passing checks, helper boundaries, error handling
Prototype	15%	minimum finished loop and deterministic replay
Final project	35%	device integration, event loop, state management
Implementation note	10%	clear explanation of devices and tradeoffs
Demo artifact	5%	screenshot, WAV, video, bundle, or trace

Strong Final Projects

Criterion	Strong submission
Device use	combines at least three device areas meaningfully
Event loop	handles time, input, rendering, and audio without blocking surprises
Architecture	separates device helpers, application state, and presentation
Reliability	has deterministic replay or scripted smoke path
Finish	has a coherent start, interaction loop, and end state
Evidence	includes source, build instructions, and reproducible artifact
