Assignment #1

What is this “tribute” thing?

By dictionary, tribute refers to the following,:

an act, statement, or gift that is intended to show gratitude, respect, or admiration.

For who?

So you make a tribute page to show respect to a certain someone. Since you are learning web design in Computer Science class and don’t know where to apply your newly gathered knowledge, how about making a tribute page dedicated to a famous person in the history of computer science?

Like these ones:

• • Grace Hopper #1

  • Grace Hopper #2

Here is the problem

You need to create a single webpage that tells about a famous person in the history of computer science. It must include the following:

1. "Properly" formatted HTML

2. MDL for your style, and some additional CSS

3. Title

4. Image of the person

5. What their contribution(s) are

6. Person's history

7. The following HTML components:

   1. a heading

   2. paragraph(s)

   3. background color

   4. breakline

   5. different font size

   6. a quote (hopefully from the person)

Things to note

• If you are not sure on any part of the problem, just ask me and I will give you additional information.

• This might help you find a person

• You must pick one person and sign up for it on the Google Spreadsheet that was shared with you. You need to pick a person that no one else in the class has chosen. If you have any questions, just ask me. Remember DON'T wait until it is due!

• Make sure you submit it under Assignment #1 before the due date and time. 

Bonus

I can get a bonus? Yes you can! 

If you complete just the above part of the assignment, you will be marked out of 3+. You will be marked out of 4+ if, in addition to the above you create a side-scrolling game in MakeCode Arcade, with the following requirements:

• it CAN NOT just be one of the built in examples (like jumpy platformer)!

• it is published to GitHub, so it can be played online

• the camera follows the main character

• you use tile maps and have "restricted" movement areas
