The document outlines the exam requirements and guidelines for game programming, focusing on creating a reusable code library in a chosen programming language. Students will be evaluated on code quality, reusability, documentation, and project structure, with additional points for unit tests and static analysis. All work must be submitted with proper public API documentation, and earlier commits will be considered for assessment.
