Working in Your Course IDE
The IT 140 course IDE includes Visual Studio Code (VS Code) plus extensions and tools for the file types used in this assignment.
The Codio Virtual Desktop (CVD) is the course reference environment. A supported local course IDE configured through the Module One Setup Tasks can also be used.
Open the repository itself as the VS Code folder:
~/Repos/it140-m4-assignment
This makes the repository README, pseudocode, optional source code, and terminal available in one workspace.
README, SRS, SDD, and SDW files use Markdown (.md).
README, SRS, and SDD files normally open in Markdown Preview because they are reference documents. If you want to inspect the Markdown source, use Open With and choose the text editor.
The SDW is a working file, so edit its TODO: areas directly if you choose to use it.
Open:
design/hilow_game.pseudo
The course IDE includes pseudocode support for .pseudo files. Edit the text directly and use indentation to show nested decisions and loops.
Keep the graded file in .pseudo format. Do not convert it to a Word document, PDF, or Python file unless the current assignment instructions explicitly add that requirement.
If you continue into the Construct phase, open:
src/hilow_game.py
Use the VS Code integrated terminal to run it. The repository README and Construct README contain the commands.
VS Code is configured to save files automatically after a short delay, but still build the habit of checking that your file is saved before closing VS Code, committing with Git, or submitting in D2L Brightspace.
