This draft contributes up to 5 points toward your 20-point project grade.
You cannot apply LATE DAYS to your project draft (or to the final project).

This week you will develop a first draft of your project, filling in as much detail and writing as much of the base code as you can in this first week. That will give you time in the second week to focus on the more interesting, information-processing aspects of the project. Clone this file and edit the HTML and Javascript as appropriate for your project. Feel free expand/modify as necessary to fit your project.

Introduction

Your project should have an introduction section. Provide a general overview of your project here. For example:
What is the goal, the inspiration, what does it build on (e.g., is it an extension of a previous hw assignment)?
What general information processing principles will be incorporated?
What hypothesis or hypotheses do you plan to test? What data will you collect? What comparisons will you make?
What is your measure of success for the project?

Model description / Methods

Describe specific implementation details here. It's important to have a well-defined specification before you start coding. Ideally you should make these detailed enough so that somebody else could read them and have enough information to recreate the model. (NOTE: you don't necessarily have to stick to these as the project develops. Most likely there will likely be changes, but this gives you a good starting point.)

Javascript code organization

Given the specifications above, outline how you plan to organize your javascript code. What javascript objects and methods will you need to write?

Progress Report / Milestones

How much have you already accomplished? What do you have left to do? Provide a brief list of key subgoals and target dates that will help move you toward your final goal.

Additional information

Feel free to expand here with any other details that are important for your project.
