The purpose of this assignment is to have you design and implement an object-oriented program in C++, as well as reflect on your approach and design choices. The assignment comprises the following components: ● A diagram with annotation that describes your object-oriented design ● The completed program ● A 300 word reflection on your program Successful completion of the fundamentals of the task as described may obtain you up to a maximum of 80% of the total assignment marks. The last 20% of the mark will be allocated to additional functionality that you can design. The additional functionality should demonstrate advanced or more complex application of principles covered to date. It need not be large amounts of work but should demonstrate a willingness to explore new and advanced concepts. You must detail what you have done in an accompanying “readme” file. The assignment must be created and submitted as a Visual Studio 2017 project. You may complete the exercises in your preferred IDE, however you should create a Visual Studio project in order to submit. This project must then be zipped up into one zip file for submission named “ ​ YourFirstNameLastNameA2 ​ .zip”. This zip file must be submitted via the Moodle assignment submission page. ● Explicit assessment criteria are provided, however please note you will be assessed on the following broad criteria: ● Meeting functional requirements as described in the assignment description ● Demonstrating a solid understanding of C++ concepts, including good practice ● Demonstrating an understanding of specific C++ concepts relating to the assignment tasks, including object-oriented design and implementation and the use of Pointers ● Following the unit Programming Style Guide ● Creating solutions that are as efficient and extensible as possible ● Reflecting on the appropriateness of your implemented design NOTE! ​ Your submitted program MUST compile and run. This means you should continually compile and test your code as you do
