SDD Major Project Ideas (2 Viewers)

[J0n]

Well, what would your database program actually do? A few ideas from the BOS' support documentation are:

• An appointment system
• Hotel bookings
• Video store management sytem
• Subject choice/report system
• Payroll system
• Library system

Or if you wanted to make a simple one with basic functions as you mentioned, you could add all the searching and sorting algorithms that we have to learn:

• Binary search
• Linear search
• Bubble sort
• Insertion sort
• Selection sort

As well as the simple algorithms such as:

• Swap two items
• Find minimim/maximum values
• Find average

Sometimes it's good to think control wise, for example if you want to incorporate a sorting algorithm you can most probably arrange or display the data in a List View, which enables you to write code to sort the columns through Ascending and Descending.

Microsoft Access is a DBMS.

What I meant when I said, create a DBMS, is to create a program which generates, and manages databases.

I did this, and tied it into a fairly standard book review searching etc program for my major, but the main focus turned out to be the DBMS.

Eg: Using Jet databases, as VB6 has the DAO reference thingie and its really nice, build a database from scratch, add tables, records, etc.
Add database backup and copy features, transfer of tables, exporting of table contents.
Add features to add further tables to an existing db, delete tables, rename things etc.
Endless possibilities.

But don't use any built in controls, just do it all with code.

I think DBMS stands for DataBase Management Service, but i've never used it.

actually its DataBase Management System

My Idea

Please tell me if this idea (for the major project) is valid:

An organizaion is developing a new operating system. I've been requested to design and develope a mini-game which will become part of the client's new operating system (like Minesweeper for Windows).

Would this idea be accepted? Also, I wonder if its ok to just make it work for windows? Since I can't really make a new operating system!

First of all yes you don't have to make it compatible for every platform OS, so Windows is enough. Second of all i'm not sure about your teacher but i know some teachers dislike the idea of games, as it's not original enough, but i like your "Problem" lol... it sounds funny... i guess Bill contacted you to make a new game for Windows Codename Longhorn aye?

Hehe...

Look up "Lazerzone" by Jeff Minter.

An oldie, but a good 'un.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

for your software assessment as with most other assessments ur being assessed on your documentation mainly, not the actual program. Im going to make a simple website, have a user login, ability to upload files, write heaps of documentation for it.

Making something that can be viewed on an internet platform is usually pretty good, long list of advantages.

this year im making a cricketers batting wagon-wheel

If you know you have no limitation as to what you want to make, then you should start on your own now... i started heaps early, we got ours in term 4 and i started making my application in term 3 of yr 11 ... i got a 100% for it... so i was happy, it was a hard work paying off.

yes, and don't leave the project to the last minute- as i left it to the last day basically- but then again sdd was not gonna count for me anyways (i was doing 12 units).

 

[Seraph]

Read back a few pages, make a simple program but make it have things that u do in SDD, the use of arrays, the use of records or wateva uno...
