CS 456 – Project 3 ("Coloring a Graph")

Description and Links to projects

This is a simulation program that will perform a demonstration of "Coloring a Graph". This program will show line by line progression of a C++ code that implements the algorithm.

Analysis and Annotation

This program has many frames to show the simulation. Each frame show different thing, for example, animation for a frame, C++ code for another frame, and some important parameters and control variables in another frame.

Expansion and reuse

The expansion of this program is very high. It could be done in a better interface so that the user will understand the simulation easier. A lot of time is needed for the expansion of the interface because creating animation is very time consuming. But, a smoother animation will help the user very much.

The reusability of code is very low because the C++ codes are only for this (Coloring a Graph) algorithm. Also, the Visual Basic code is not very reusable because those codes are only designed for the simulation only.
