M9: The Trickiest Milestone
M9 Requirements
Place a web front-end on your application.
Obviously, we are not requiring you to re-implement the entire application with a web front end. Instead, you will demonstrate the ability of your application to be adapted to a web application.
Your application must demonstrate the following features:
- Use of a style sheet (css) to standardize look and feel
- Use of query strings (?msg=111) to communicate information between the browser and web server
- Use of session variables to maintain state between server calls
- Static and Dynamic Web Pages
- Use of forms to transmit data to the web page
- Use of html include files for common data
- Embedded smalltalk code (.ssp)
You do NOT have to have any graphics output. Web pages can be all text. If your application does not demonstrate the above features after implementing the basic requirements below, then you must add additional features that will allow you to demonstrate those basic requirements if you want full credit.
Required Features
- Display a welcome screen and allow input of a leader name
- If name > 6 characters, allow the wagon to be configured as below, otherwise reprompt for leader name with error message
- Configure the wagon by setting the pace, ration, and chosing a profession.
- Display back a game status showing that your game has accepted the input parameters
- Any additional gameplay functionality (buying items etc) would be extra credit for M9.

What Worked and What Didn’t Work
- This milestone wasn’t too bad it was an opportunity to do something cool and different. We recommend that if you have a very talented web designer in your group that you allow them to use their skills here.
- We found the use of javascript to be very useful with this milestone
- We also found that using the class resources that were distributed on T-square to be quite beneficial as well
