Unlike last year (when the game was "sliding blocks puzzle") this year's Snake game in my Javascript module seemed to encourage lots of copy-off-the-web cheating :-( mainly because there's lots of crappy DOM0 downloadable examples out there - the students all got 0% because I mark their "mini viva" presentations but it's a depressing waste all the same.
One group was different: their game went beyond the module, using <canvas> and object-orientation, so I was really looking forward to discussing it with them! Sadly they disappointed me by not being able to explain the simplest decisions that the author of the code had made to make the game work and so they got 0% too. Academic misconduct hearing anyone? Sad end to the module...
