Capstone Course Project in C++
The Capstone project was a “Game of Life” simulation based on John Conway’s “Game of Life”.
This version allowed for each cell to contain either dirt or grass and for each grass cell to contain an
herbivore (male or female, child or adult). The herbivore may stay on a particular grass cell until
he/she eats all of the grass, and then may move to an adjacent empty grass cell or die if one is not
available. Empty dirt cells grow new grass after a certain number of turns. Additionally, adult male
and female herbivores can mate creating a child on a neighboring empty grass cell. A list of initial
settings is read in from a text file which governs the basic rules and initial landscape. The project
was coded in C++ using MFC.
A Calculator Operating System
The project read in a series of instruction lines consisting of Mathematical operators, variables,
constants, and parenthesis. The information was parsed out using a state engine and the resulting
Mathematical expression, with proper Mathematical order of operations, was stored in a binary tree.
When the “Eval” keyword was read, the expression was evaluated. This was the final project for the
Data Structures and Algorithms course in C++.
The Traveling Salesman
In the Data Structures and Algorithms course for C++ we tackled the classic “Traveling Salesman”
problem using twelve locations/nodes.
