You’re working as an IT Trainee for Red Opal Innovations (ROI_Scenario.pdf). Red Opal Innovations (ROI) has experienced impressive growth, expanding the business and its workforce, and recently developed its own intranet to provide services to its staff. Management has decided that they would like to improve the culture of the company and initiate strategies to enhance the satisfaction and morale of its staff.
After meeting with employee representatives, management has decided that they would like to provide opportunities for staff members to relax and have some time-out during their working day. The employee representatives have suggested that playing games would be a good way for staff members to help them relax and deal with the daily stresses of the work environment. They have also decided that some friendly competition between employees would enhance their motivation for playing the games. The company would also like to offer a prize for the employee with the best results.
They would like a game prototype to be developed as a forerunner to more sophisticated applications. Your supervisor thinks you would be able to handle this project however wants to test your skills first.
Download and unzip the resource folder (ICTPRG301_AE_Pro_1of2_SR1.zip), which contains additional documents referred to in Parts 1 and 2 of the assessment.
Your supervisor has given you several tasks to complete before working on the game prototype.
Before starting the following tasks, create a plan of the activities you need to complete for the portfolio of tasks (this can be in a table in a word-processed document). This must be appropriately sequenced and prioritised, taking into account your own workload, to enable you to complete the tasks efficiently and effectively.
Staff members are attending a conference. The conference runs for two days and staff members can attend either day, or both days.
The application must display:
Use the following format to display the information:
Report date: [dd/mm/yyyy]
Attendee: [Surname, first name] Pack/s: [1 or 2 days pack], [both days pack]
Two text files are provided as follows:
The confpack text file has two values on separate lines:
The employees text file has values separated by commas. Each employee is on a new line.
A programmer was given the following specifications for an application:
They have written the code (scope.py), however it doesn’t output the correct value according to the specifications.
A programmer was given the following specifications for an application:
Write a program that prompts the user to enter the marks of a student for five different subjects. The program will then perform a calculation to determine the average mark.
The application must do the following:
They have written the code (marks.py) and tested it using the following data:
mark1 |
mark2 |
mark3 |
mark4 |
mark5 |
Expected sum |
Expected average |

Read the Software Requirements Specification (Software_requirements_spec.pdf) for the game prototype.
Design an algorithm using pseudocode or a flowchart to meet the program specifications. Your algorithm must use appropriate constructs.
Develop the game according to your algorithm using Python. Ensure that you:
Test the game to ensure that it works correctly and according to the specifications. Document the following using the ROI Software test report (ROI_Software_test_report.docx).
Demonstrate the game to your supervisor and:
The following checklist will be used by your assessor to mark your performance against the assessment criteria of your submitted/presented project. Use this checklist to understand what skills and/or knowledge you need to demonstrate in your submission/presentation. All the criteria described in the Assessment Checklist must be met. The assessor may ask questions after the assessment has been submitted to clarify anything.
