Question

Write a program that demonstrates the skills we've learned throughout this quarter. This type of project offers only a few guidelines, allowing you to invest as much time and polish as you want, as long as you meet the program requirements described below. You can write a simple game (e.g., tic-tac-toe, Battleship), a simulation (e.g., a zero-dimensional energy balance model of the climate), or an application (e.g., a mortgage calculator). Your main requirement is that you demonstrate six of the following features in your software program and that you comment and document your code well:

This type of project offers only a few guidelines, allowing you to invest as much time and polish as you want, as long as you meet the program requirements described below.
