I went out on the lash with some friends tonight (yeah very out of characheter I know! 😀 ) and saw my lecturer who took me for Interactive Technology (which is basically making music software - something I should be fairly good at!!). We got talking about my coursework, and he told me that the Max/MSP project file I handed in had no GUI! I couldn't believe it. Thought about it for a while, then checked it out when I got home. Turned out I'd done something really silly - I'd put all of the graphics onto the CD but I'd forgotten to re-assign the locations of the images, so they were all linked to my F:\ drive rather than locally (within the same file that the max patch was saved).
I've emailed my lecturer about it, told him the silly mistake I've made, but he did say earlier that he's already marked it, so I don't know what will happen. To be honest he should have looked on the CD anyway and at least tried to find the graphics but he just assumed I'd left them out altogether!
I was relying on this mark to get a 1st in my degree, but with no GUI I'm going to lose 20 marks at best, probably more because the patch won't have made much sense without it! Now it is highly likely I'll get a 2:1 instead, I'm totally gutted :'(
Goodnight

Managed to catch him on Facebook yesterday and he said he was glad that he got to see how it should have worked, and the GUI is excellent, so that's good but he didn't mention remarking it or how many marks I would lose... guess I just have to keep my fingers crossed and hold on 'til next week.

Well, I got 70% for it, so just scraped a first! Did well considering the GUI didn't work, but I'm kicking myself a bit because with GUI it would have been a lot more. Anyway, came out with 71.5 average for my second year, so I need to do the same again next year to get a first overall.

Good news Mike! I guess that means we can tell the Sicilians to stand down now 🙂

Yes, they've done their work, tell them to expect a complimentary weapons shipment sometime soon!
