Abstract
This document specifies on the Snake Game application; it is a game that consists of a Snake
and its food.
In order for the Snake to grow, it eats its food and its size increases making it challenging for
the player to move about. The players score increases as the snake consumes its food and
grows. It improves the focus skill of the player.
In this application we use C# Programming Language of Visual Studio 2015, which is designed
for creating windows form application which was used for this project.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
C sharp(C#) is a sophisticated and type-safe object-oriented language that permits developers
to construct a variety of secure and robust applications that run on the .NET Framework. You
can use C# to create Windows client applications, XML Web services, distributed components,
client-server applications, database applications, and more. Visual C# provides an advanced
code editor, appropriate user interface designers, integrated debugger, and many other tools to
make it easier to develop applications based on the C# language and the .NET Framework.
The Visual C# documentation assumes that you have an understanding of basic programming
concepts.
C# LANGUAGE
The C# language is simple language, which makes it good for beginners, but C# also includes all
the support for the structured, component-based, object-oriented programming that one
expects of a modern language built on the shoulders of C++ and Java. In other words, it's a fully
featured language appropriate for developing large-scale applications, but at the same time it is
designed to be easy to learn.
The goal of C# is to provide a simple, safe, object-oriented, high-performance language for .NET
development. C# is simple because there are relatively few keywords. Keywords are special
words reserved by the language that have a specific meaning within all C# programs,
including if, while, and for. You'll learn about these keywords in the coming chapters.
C# is considered safe because the language is type-safe, which is an important mechanism to
help you find bugs early in the development process, as you'll see later. This makes for code
that is easier to maintain and programs that are more reliable.
C# was designed, from the very start, to support object-oriented programming. In this book,
we'll explain not only how to write object-oriented programs, but also why object-oriented
programming has become so popular. The short answer is this: programs are becoming
increasingly complex, and object-oriented programming techniques help you manage that
complexity.
C# was designed for .NET, and .NET was designed (in part) for developing web and web-aware
programs. The Internet is a primary resource in most .NET applications.

It is a platform for application developers.
It is a Framework that supports Multiple Language and Cross language integration.
IT has IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
Framework is a set of utilities or can say building blocks of your application system.
.NET Framework provides GUI in a GUI manner.
.NET is a platform independent but with help of Mono Compilation System (MCS).
MCS is a middle level interface.
.NET Framework provides interoperability between languages i.e. Common Type
System (CTS) .
.NET Framework also includes the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), which is
responsible for maintaining the execution of all applications developed using the
.NET library.
The .NET Framework consists primarily of a gigantic library of code.

Classes
A class is a construct that enables you to create your own custom types by grouping together
variables of other types, methods and events. A class is like a blueprint. It defines the data and
behavior of a type. If the class is not declared as static, client code can use it by
creating objects or instances which are assigned to a variable. The variable remains in memory
until all references to it go out of scope. At that time, the CLR marks it as eligible for garbage
collection. If the class is declared as static, then only one copy exists in memory and client code
can only access it through the class itself, not an instance variable.
Unlike structs, classes support inheritance, a fundamental characteristic of object-oriented
programming.
Array
An array is a container object that holds a fixed number of values of a single type. The length of
an array is established when the array is created. After creation, its length is fixed.
10
Software Development: Event Driven Programming DH34 35
Operators
C# provides many operators, which are symbols that specify which operations (math, indexing,
function call, etc.) to perform in an expression. You can overload many operators to change
their meaning when applied to a user-defined type.
Operations on integral types (such as ==, !=, <, >, &, |) are generally allowed on enumeration
types.
The sections list the C# operators starting with the highest precedence to the lowest. The
operators within each section share the same precedence level.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION (SRS)
A software requirements specification (SRS) is a description of a software system to be
developed, laying out functional and non-functional requirements, and may include a set of use
cases that describe interactions the users will have with the software.
Software requirements specification establishes the basis for an agreement between customers
and contractors or suppliers (in market-driven projects, these roles may be played by the
marketing and development divisions) on what the software product is to do as well as what it
is not expected to do. Software requirements specification permits a rigorous assessment of
requirements before design can begin and reduces later redesign. It should also provide a
realistic basis for estimating product costs, risks, and schedules.
The software requirements specification document enlists enough and necessary requirements
that are required for the project development.[2] To derive the requirements we need to have
clear and thorough understanding of the products to be developed or being developed. This is
achieved and refined with detailed and continuous communications with the project team and
customer till the completion of the software.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to present a detailed description of the Snake Game. It
explains the purpose and workings of the system and the constraints under which the system
must operate and react.
Introduction
The Project Snake Game is an entertainment program developed using C# Programming
Language. It is a read only program, where the user uses the appropriate arrow keys to the
guide the Snake to its food in order to earn point and help the Snake grow.
12
Software Development: Event Driven Programming DH34 35
Functional Requirements
A functional requirement defines a function of a system and its components. A function is
described as a set of inputs, the behavior, and outputs.
In the Snake Game, the user will use the arrow keys to control the Snake.
Non Functional Requirements
Nonfunctional requirements are the attributes including performance levels, security, and
consider the usability, reliability, and availability. Invariably, requirements definers get
wrapped up in how the product/system is expected to function and lose sight of these added
elements.
In the Snake Game, the user should be careful in not allowing the snake to escape outside the
wall as it ends its life.
Hardware Requirements
1.
2.
3.
4.
The Operating System should be Windows 7, 8 or 10, 64-bit or 86-bit.
The Processor speed should be 2.5 GHz. It should also be Dual Core.
The Memory requirements can be 50 MB free hard drive space.
The Video Card should be DirectX 9 compatible with 256 MB RAM or better.
Tools Used
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015
It is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop
computer programs for Microsoft Windows, as well as web sites, web applications and web
services. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API,
Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight.
It can produce both native code and managed code.
Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense (the code completion component)
as well as code refactoring. The integrated debugger works both as a source-level debugger and
13
Software Development: Event Driven Programming DH34 35
a machine-level debugger. Other built-in tools include a forms designer for building GUI
applications, web designer, class designer, and database schema designer. It accepts plug-ins
that enhance the functionality at almost every level—including adding support for sourcecontrol systems (like Subversion) and adding new toolsets like editors and visual designers for
domain-specific languages or toolsets for other aspects of the software development lifecycle
(like the Team Foundation Server client: Team Explorer).
Visual Studio supports different programming languages and allows the code editor and
debugger to support (to varying degrees) nearly any programming language, provided a
language-specific service exists. Built-in languages include C,[5] C++ and C++/CLI (via Visual
C++), VB.NET (via Visual Basic .NET), C# (via Visual C#), and F# (as of Visual Studio 2010[6]).
Support for other languages such as M, Python, and Ruby among others is available via
language services installed separately. It also supports XML/XSLT, HTML/XHTML, JavaScript and
CSS. Java (and J#) were supported in the past.
Microsoft provides "Community" editions of its Visual Studio at no cost. Commercial versions of
Visual Studio along with select past versions are available for free to students via Microsoft's
DreamSpark program.

SOFTWARE DETAILED DESIGN
System Description
The Snake Game is an entertainment based game that enables the user to move the snake
around and help it grow. The arrow keys guide the snake’s direction to its food and the score
keeps moving as the user manages to feed the snake.
Data Flow Diagram
A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, showing the
steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows. This is the
flowchart for the Snake Game.

The player Presses The Space Bar key to begin the game.
The player uses the arrow keys to control the movement of the snake to the direction of
the food.
Upon consuming the food, an increase in the score is seen right down the Score tab.
If the player crashes the snake along the walls, the Snake dies.
An alert message then appears stating the player has lost.
The game then restarts.

Software Development: Event Driven Programming DH34 35
The pseudo code of the Snake Game application enables the Snake to function and move in all
the directions and also designs the Snake according to the color, shape and size that you code it
to be and its food too. It constructs the settings of the Score sheet and creates the code for an
alert message as to when the player loses. It creates the components and functions for the
design view to display.

TESTING AND RESULTS
Introduction
NUnit is a unit testing framework for performing unit testing based on the .NET platform. It is a
widely used tool for unit testing and is preferred by many developers today. NUnit is free to
use. NUnit does not create any test scripts by itself. You have to write test scripts by yourself,
but NUnit allows you to use its tools and classes to make unit testing easier.
NUnit tests are easily repeatable by anyone with access to the code and test assemblies. This
allows you to test the impact of your changes on the work of the entire development team in a
distributed development environment. Verifying your code against the entire project maintains
the integrity of the overall build.
Runners
NUnit provides a console runner (nunit-console.exe), which is used for batch execution of tests.
The console runner works through the NUnit Test Engine, which provides it with the ability to
load, explore and execute tests. When tests are to be run in a separate process, the engine
makes use of the nunit-agent program to run them.
The NUnit Lite runner may be used in situations where a simpler runner is more suitable.
Assertions
NUnit provides a rich set of assertions as static methods of the Assert class. If an assertion fails,
the method call does not return and an error is reported. If a test contains multiple assertions
any that follow the one that failed will not be executed. For this reason, it's usually best to try
for one assertion per test.
What is Testing?
In computer programming, unit testing is a software testing method by which individual units of
source code, sets of one or more computer program modules together with associated control
data, usage procedures, and operating procedures, are tested to determine whether they are
fit for use. Intuitively, one can view a unit as the smallest testable part of an application. In
20
Software Development: Event Driven Programming DH34 35
procedural programming, a unit could be an entire module, but it is more commonly an
individual function or procedure. In object-oriented programming, a unit is often an entire
interface, such as a class, but could be an individual method. Unit tests are short code
fragments created by programmers or occasionally by white box testers during the
development process. It forms the basis for component testing.
Ideally, each test case is independent from the others. Substitutes such as method stubs, mock
objects, fakes, and test harnesses can be used to assist testing a module in isolation. Unit tests
are typically written and run by software developers to ensure that code meets its design and
behaves as intended.
Testing Process
21
Software Development: Event Driven Programming DH34 35
Testing Plan
A test plan lets you specify what you want to test and how to run those tests. A test plan can be
applied to a specific iteration of your project. You can have just one default test suite for your
test cases, or you can create a test suite hierarchy.
You can also select the default configurations to use to run the tests in your test plan. The test
configuration informs the tester of the set up that is required for these tests. You can have one
or multiple default configurations. A test result is recorded every time that you run the test
with a specific configuration. A test plan enables you to measure your testing progress, based
on these test results for the test and configuration pairings.
