Project Ideas We will gather pointers to code repositories that we consider candidates for projects. It is your responsibility to study the repositories, to understand the basic idea behind them, and to come up with ideas on what kind of functionality a Rust module may provide for the project.

bloomd

   

a bloom filter server

yajl

   

a streaming JSON parser

Chipmunk2D

   

a 2-D game physics library

If you find code repositories that you consider suitable for a course project but, for some reason, you cannot or do not want to work on, please let us know.

Deadlines The deadline for choosing a code base is 6 February.

20 February You will deliver a memo that describes the project, its purpose and its internal organization.

16 March, all of you will present the existing code base: an overview [external view], a demo of how it works, and a tour of the design/code as far as needed to run your project.

Draft The draft of the memo is due on Friday 27 March NOON on Ms. Biron’s desk.

03 April April 10 On the project due date, submit a gzipped tar ball of the project to Dr. Tov. The repo must include a (maximally) one-page memo describing your project; you may reuse prose from the proposal memo.

Use the extension to resubmit your draft memo to Ms. Biron.

You will present your results in the weeks of April 06 and 13 April 13 and April 20.

Chosen Projects When you have chosen a project, send email to both of the instructors with the following three pieces of information:
  • your names

  • the title of the project and a link to the project

  • a three to five word description of what you wish to accomplish
