Requirements - Game Concept

• Users are prompted to add a number of words which will be used to fill the blanks in a text passage stored on a server.

• When the user has provided all of the words, the story that was created is shown.

• The results are meant to be hilarious, but sometimes scary!!

Requirements for site

• User inputs appropriate word based on syntax in text fields

• User presses Submit button

• User views words integrated into pre-existing paragraphs

Justification for using IIS

• Uniserver did not support our use(s) of ASP.net

• ASP.net is a Microsoft platform so it makes sense to use Microsoft’s IIS web server platform for compatibility

• Easy to setup

• Free; comes packaged with the software already on your personal computer

Requirements (cont’d)• 20-30 MB available disk space to install IIS• Check by opening My Computer, right clicking on the
