Problems using String, Number, array and structure manipulation
General Guidelines: Initial Requirement, developing an interface for user (it is advised
to use text-based interface screen), developing logic for playing the game and developing
logic for scoring points
• Memory game: A number guessing game with the application of 2-dimensional arrays
containing randomly generated numbers in pairs hidden inside boxes.
• Hollywood/Hangman: A word Guessing game
• Cows ‘N Bulls: A word/number Guessing game

• Cross’N knots game: A regular tic-tac-toe game.
Or
Similar projects may be undertaken in other domains. (As mentioned in general

guidelines for project, given at the end of the curriculum in a group of 2-4 students)
* Collaboration and Presentation of the project
3. Practical File (5+1*)

a) Record of the configuration of the computer system used by the student in the
computer lab (by exploring inside computer system in the first 2 lab classes).
b) Must have minimum 20 programs from the topics covered in class 11 course.
