: hey all - hope everybody had a good demo. : I have a question to the general 2704 public and to the professors also about the tick/time concept. In my implementation, i had a simulator manager class that managed the simulation. In short: : - my implementation did have inheritance : - my tow trucks moved themselves : - they picked up cars on their own : the only thing that differed was that i didn't have a function or the like where i passed tick the trucks individually. : instead, my management class governed time and depending on each tick, each truck would "run" themselves, just for that one tick, traversing through the dispatcher's list of trucks. : problem - : my TA took off 5 points because of that. Mentioned something about my design wasn't what the professors had. : my point - : my point is that i didn't violate the spec. I didn't find it anywhere in the spec where you had to make the trucks update themselves, via passing tick to the trucks individually. in fact, i thought my implementation was complete. : I'm not so much barking, but I would like to know how i violated the spec [as to receiving a deduction of 5 points]. keep in mind, my TA never said that i violated the spec, he just said that my implementation wasn't like the professors. : thank you for your input
