Overview Your client, The Gaming Room, currently has a game application, Draw It or Lose It, that was created for Android systems. They would like to expand it to other operating platforms. DRAW IT or LOSE IT! Draw It or Lose It is loosely similar to the 1980s television game Win, Lose or Draw, where teams compete to guess what is being drawn. Rather than a player drawing images on an easel to help team members guess the puzzle (a phrase, title, or thing), the application will render images from a large library of stock drawings as clues. A game consists of four rounds of play lasting one minute each. Drawings are rendered at a steady rate and are fully complete at the 30-second mark. If the team does not guess the puzzle before time expires, the remaining teams have an opportunity to offer one guess each to solve the puzzle with a 15-second time limit. Draw It or Lose It is a multi-user game application that must have the ability to run multiple instances of the game at once, each having players and teams. As you continue to develop this application, you must consider how storage and memory are managed in each platform and how management differs. Prompt For the purposes of this assignment, assume that The Gaming Room will have 200 high-definition image files to choose from, each one approximately 8 megabytes in size. Memory Management: Memory refers to what resources are required for transferring files and how the speed and performance of the system are impacted. In the context of the software, Draw It or Lose It, consider how the game application will need to render and display pictures at a fixed rapid rate to meet your client's requirements. Consider the user's experience and what is required to have the application run rapidly and effectively on all operating platforms. Address the following in your short paper: • What considerations and specific approaches would it take to ensure that memory is effectively managed in the software application, Draw It or Lose It? Comparison: Now that you have identified the considerations and approaches, differentiate between memory and storage management. Address the following in your short paper: • What are the differences in how memory and storage are used in terms of the game application functionality? What to Submit Submit a short paper as a Microsoft Word document. Your paper must be 1-2 pages in length and include the appropriate citations.
