Hello West World

The purpose of this assignment is to get you up to speed as quickly as possible with the software tools that you will need for the homework assignments and to shake down the homework submission process:

• We will be using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1Rel in this course, which is available on all WPI lab and public machines and is free to WPI students. Other versions of Visual Studio will not be supported. If you don't already have Visual Studio 2010, download and install it from \\storage.wpi.edu\software\Microsoft\Windows\VisualStudio. (You will need to use VPN to do this if you are off campus. But be warned, the download could take many hours on a slow connection!)

• Download the zip file containing all source code from course web page.

• Unzip the file, making sure to preserve file paths.

• Open the Microsoft Visual Studio Solution file (extension ".sln") in the WestWorld/WestWorldWithWomen folder.

• Make sure Visual Studio is in Debug mode (drop-down box next to green "play" button in Standard Toolbar).

• In Tools > Option > Debugging > Output Window > General Output Settings, set Module Load Messages to OFF (this will disable some irrelevant distracting warning message).

• Build Solution (F7). There should be no errors or warnings.

• Start Debugging (F5). Let program run until "Press any key to continue" is displayed.

• Make record of successful run:
  • Right click on header bar of console window
  • Edit > Select All
  • Press Enter to copy
  • Paste into Notepad
  • Save file

• Move input focus to console window and press any key. Program should exit normally.

• Upload saved file above to Web Turn-In.

Grading

• Full credit (3 pts) if correct output turned in on time.
