Builder Final Project Guidelines
  
Note: These guidelines are a work in progress and may change...even during your 
evaluation.
 
The final stage of the builder series of courses is a "final project". This 
project is intended to demonstrate your building ability.  After you finish 
your project it will be reviewed by MUCK University staff. We will 
intentionally be tough in evaluating the project since you will have 
opportunity to fix any problems and re-submit the project. It will save your 
time and ours if you pay attention to details before submitting your project 
and/or getting a friend to double-check your work for you. 
  
Here are the minimum requirements for the project:
* You'll need to have completed the following six courses and passed the 
  corresponding tests: B101, B102, B103, B104, B105, and MPI 101.
* A builder's final project should have a minimum of three rooms. More are 
  permitted, but no more than six of the rooms you designate will be
  reviewed.
* The rooms should be arranged logically and connected by appropiate exits.
* There should be at least two 'thing' database items: One that can be picked 
  up and one that cannot. 
* All exits, things, and rooms should be fully described and have all 
  appropiate @msgs set.
* There should be at least one room or thing that has additional detail 
  provided by @detail.
* There should be at least one room that has additional detail provided by 
  @object.
* Ideally, the project should have a theme, but the theme of the project is up 
  to you. Anything time period, any setting, etc. etc. Its best if its something 
  that inspires you!
  
I want to emphasize that I will be as tough as I can without being mean with 
the evaluations. I will probably criticize every last nitpicky detail I feel is 
wrong. When you submit your project, feel free to submit any comments about the 
project, especially if you have made a creative choice against a standard way 
of doing things, I'll want you to back that up with an explaination.
  
When you have finished your project and feel you are ready to have it evaluated 
send me page mail. If possible, I'll arrange a time that we both be on so we 
can go through your project together, or if you feel your project will stand 
its own, I will do the evaluation first chance I have to do so.
