CS1999 Buggy Racing project
We give you the (Python) code for a basic webserver app that lets you edit the specifications of a racing buggy.
That webserver's not broken — you'll be able to get it to run — but it's very, very basic. You will make it better, and make it your own.
To start with, just try to make it work better (those are the early phases, which you must do). But then you should develop the app with a lot more features until it's not just working, but has additional features (some of which are quite sophisticated).
Tasks
The project requires you to work on a racing buggy editor: it's a Python Flask webserver you've been given, and which you develop in phases through a series of tasks.
Tech notes
The tech notes contain explanations and suggestions to help you with the project (and some of the specific tasks).
Submission deadline
That's the submission we'll be assessing (and running) to see how you got on with your Python and webserver skills.
You can submit your project before the deadline. Don't leave it until the
very last minute. Programmers know (which means: you know) that IT
systems sometimes go down, disks fail, and chumps spill coffee over laptops.
Build contingency into your planning so if this happens to you it's merely a
problem and not a disaster.
To submit your project, follow these instructions:
