Your first assignment is a simple sound-box; pressing a key makes a sound. Pressing a lot of keys makes a lot of sounds.

Your program must have at least five buttons, triggered by the keyboard keys 1-5, and you must supply a sound for each of the buttons; pressing the keyboard key should play the corresponding sound.

There’s no need to stop with the basic assignment, though! You can have lots and lots of buttons, mapped to lots of keys, and you can even get creative; maybe the position of the mouse affects the sound somehow....

1 Partners

In this assignment, I’m going to be assigning partners. Each of you should receive e-mail indicating whom your partner is. Introduce yourself to your partner, and try to find a time when you’ll be able to work together on the project.

2 Handin

This assignment is due at 11:00 PM on Monday, October 1.

In order to submit your program, bundle them as a .zip or a .tgz, and submit them using the PolyLearn interface.

You should also be prepared to demonstrate your program on Wednesday, October 3, during lab.

3 Help!

If you need help, I strongly advise you to post to the piazza group rather than contacting me directly: I’ll respond to both, and that way others can see your questions. Often, you’ll get a good answer more quickly from someone other than me.
