The projects are graded as follows: Total points for each assignment: 100 points. Extra credit if advanced features are implemented: 15 points.

Please use Moodle to turn in your project files. Upload only a single file, for example, use "tar czvf project1.tar.gz ~/project1" to create a gzipped tar package. But please compress the whole directory (i.e., files and the directory itself), so that when I decompress it, I don't need to create a directory manually. Make sure you saved the old version in your own computer before you upload a new version, because old copies will be overwritten in the turn-in system. Each package should consist of: a README file (including the design description, your name and your partner's name); a Makefile, and the source file(s). Late turn-ins are subject to a penalty of 15% for each day late. To save my time of grading, please use tar, zip, or gzip to compress your files instead of winrar. Also please save your README as a simple text file instead of a WORD document.
