<p><font face="serif">So -- when I have to explain in a few years to
visiting accrediting teams why I did not give written tests in
this class they are going to want proof that you actually
learned something. In such cases I refer the teams to the code
that you wrote and implemented to demonstrate how you applied
your knowledge in your programming style, what algorithms you
used, your use of data structures, and why you did various
things. These people typically will not have enough patience
to sift through your code to figure out what you did -- they
will look for comments. Please make sure, therefore, that these
things are mentioned in the comments. EVERYONE is responsible
for commenting their code (be it in the GOFD or your pendulum)
-- so do it. You have done some amazing stuff. Just think about
about it -- there has been a lot of computational geometry going
on, physics, implementations of complex data structures, algorithms
(I even saw a-star) -- now demonstrate some academic prowess and
actually explain that so that the external reviewers will know
that!<br>

<p><font face="serif">Yes. I will be looking at comments (or lack
thereof) when I grade. </font><br>
</p>
<br>
Because the comments have been SO lacking in Game of Drones, I will
give you and extra day to turn in Game of Drones. The final merge
commit from Alex will have to come on Wednesday night before
midnight. I will still be grading the majority of the
functionality of the project based on the commits made before class
today, but I will wait until tomorrow nights commits to grade for
comments.<br>
