Assign Quiz Option

This document provides an assignment brief for a BTEC First Diploma in ICT Practitioners. Students must choose one of three options to implement - a mobile phone interface, television guide, or quiz game. They are then given tasks to complete, including describing software development procedures, justifying a programming language choice, implementing the design, debugging, and documenting the solution. Guidelines are provided for passing, merit, and distinction grades.

ASSIGNMENT BRIEF Software Design and Development


For this project you must select one of the options below to implement to prove your
skills.
Mobile option:
You have been employed by a mobile phone company First for Mobiles, who would
like to take mobiles phones to the next level. They would like you to design a mobile
phone based on any of the mobile phones available today. Once you have completed
the Interface as described below, the company will then incorporate software onto
their mobile phones. This will enable users to access and make calls from their
laptops/PCs with or without their mobile. The Company, First for Mobiles will pay
you a large sum of money if you are successful
A new mobile phone interface create a new interface based on the mobile phones
we all use today. Phones you could base your design on include the nokia and the
Sony Ericsson . The interface should include the following:

Names stored i.e. a phone book option


Numbers stored, also stored in the phone book option
A speed dial function (stores name or number to a key)
Key lock option (almost like a login)
Warning messages for numbers dialled wrong or overseas calls.

Hint: this mobile phone option might make you think and it should test your
programming skills. Also it should be fun
Television Guide
Television Guide a current television magazine has approached you and asked if it
is possible for you to create a program that would give their readers the option of
looking at the television paper on the computer. They are thinking of including a CD
Rom on the back of each magazine. Options the program must have are:

Display a list of channels that are available


Include a basic program search
Tell the user about great programmes i.e. tips on what to watch
Give the programmes scores. i.e. 5 stars
Images should be included to show the users what the program is about.

Quiz option
You are employed as a Junior games designer. A promotion is available to the first
Junior Designer that can complete a successful project. You have been advised by
your mentor that you have the capabilities to be the person selected for promotion.
A quiz based on the popular T.V show format, Who Wants to be A Millionaire:

15 questions
4 options per question
3 lifelines
Ability to take the money and run
When question incorrectly answered the game will stop.

Hint: This quiz format incorporating all of the above features is quite difficult to
implement and should only be chosen if you are confident of your skills.
