Hmmmm they really shouldn't permit flash to be used, it's not really a real programming language.

Being stuck doing something can be good. It puts everyone on even ground by standardising the marking criteria.

Whoa, I had no idea other schools allowed Flash!
We were forced to use Visual Basic, but I was happy with that. :)

Using a proecdural language such as Pascal or C helps your algorithims btw...

So using flash is a problem

The trick was to combine graphics to make it look good and create more than one simple function...

My Assignment Included:
- Splash Screen (prettyful)
- Checkers
- Othello/Reversi
- Tic-Tac-Toe
- Snakes and Ladders
- Notepad thing
- Web browser (very basic)
- Icon Editor
- Hex Editor

There were about 4 more things but I can't remember, when I find the CD with the latest source code I'll post...

If we did all that, it would not help much towards getting full marks, as we only had 6/63 marks for coding, and all the rest was documentation.

I dont know what our major project is gonna be, but for our current project we have to make a childrens game using VB6 testing them in a variety of subjects. I think its worth 20%. Pretty simple actually, just a few check boxes here, and some radio buttons there, text boxes, clicking on stuff etc

IF anything, VB users have an advantage as it is more similar to algorithms, and lets you practice more. There's no way that flash people have any advantage, as you are not going to get any questions on either, and the marks you get for flash will only be compared with people in your class, who also use flash. So in no way do people using it get any advantage.
