According to a study, students in programming courses learn much more by building medium/large-scale exercises instead of many small-scale test programs like this, which give fragmented knowledge contrary to solid understanding of the language.

Exercise I: (10%) Showing a tic-tac-toe game and
Exercise II: (15%) Playing a tic-tac-toe game.

• The exercises are individual exercises instead of team exercises.


• Have to use to MASM (Microsoft Assembler Macro Assembler) assembly language and Visual Studio to develop the exercises.


• The Visual Studio will also be used by the instructor to grade exercises.


• To submit an exercise, upload the source code (with a name and exercise number, but no documentation needed) to the Blackboard at “COVID-19 Exams, Homeworks, & Programming Exercises.” You may check its status at Grade information later.


• If the uploaded code does not work on the instructor’s machine, a demonstration will be requested by the instructor.


• The weight of the two exercises is 25% (10% and 15%, respectively) of the final grade.


• Absolutely no extra points will be given after grading.
