E629: Integrating game frontend for Expertiza

Project Introduction

This is a game made for the Expertiza system (Ed Gehringer, NCSU). It transforms an assignment-based course into a "game" in which the player levels up and completes areas. The player doesn't receive grades; rather, he gains experience, and the professor would convert the experience values of the players at the end of the course into grades. The map is split up into distinct "rooms" unlocked by completing assignments; these are arrayed around a "center" in the middle of the map which contains portals to each room (portals which unlock as the player progresses).

Project Requirement

Students will need to develop a page that runs the Expertiza game in JavaScript when a user is logged in and calls the code from E407 to get the JSON string to be parsed by the frontend.

The page should basically load the frontend JavaScript and point it to the JSON string (a URL that will check to make sure that the current user is logged in correctly).

Experience Point Report

In this game, the player doesn't receive grades; rather, he gains experience(XP), and the professor would convert the experience values of the players at the end of the course into grades.

The Previous XP is a fake one, they just send the "grade" score as the XP point. So one part of work is to rewrite this part.

The new XP point system is a weighted score system, where instructor can assign or automatically generate the XP point.

The following is the code for XP point report system:
