This project is a proposal for C0 Debugger, a browser-based debugger for the
C0 programming language.
Students in Carnegie Mellon University's 15-122: Principles of Imperative
Computation and other classes learn to program in C0.
This project will allow students to better write C0 code by providing a
powerful and easy-to-use system for debugging their C0 programs.
This proposal goes over a detailed plan for how our team will create the C0 Debugger.
Finding problems in code is a difficult and time consuming task, one especially
difficult for programmers learning a new language. To help students more quickly
find bugs and understand how their programs run, we created an online debugger
for the {\tt C0} programming language. The {\tt C0} debugger enables users to
run programs in their browser and break apart the execution when they don't run
correctly.

We originally aimed to evaluate our performance against user feedback from both
current and past students. However, due to setbacks in the early stages of
development we were unable to receive significant use feedback from students.
That said, we were able to gather feedback and support from current 15-122
course staff.
In terms of our original vision, the {\tt C0} debugger includes almost every
feature we planned to implement. Users can input code and either run the program
straight through or step through execution instruction by instruction. The only
significant feature that is not currently implemented completely is breakpoints.
Implementing breakpoints turned out to be significantly more difficult than we
anticipated, and given our limited time frame, we were unable to come up with an
adequate solution. We are currently working with Rob Simmons, 15-122 instructor
and maintainer for the {\tt C0} language standard, to extend the language to
support breakpoints more easily going forward.

Relative to our revised Gantt Chart (Figure \ref{gantt}) we hit every milestone
on time. Both the front-end and back-end teams completed their tasks by the end
of April, at which point we transitioned everyone to user testing, revisions,
and polishing. Both teams were able to recover from the lag reported in our
progress report to complete the {\tt C0} debugger.

Qualifications of Team Members
We are a team of sophomore CS majors who have varied experience in the field.
Suhaas Reddy has had two years of programming experience. He has also served as a course assistant for the School of Computer Science for three semesters which gives him an understanding of what computer science students may need from a debugging tool. This spring Suhaas competed in his first Hackathon where he and a group of three other students worked to create a webapp which eliminated unwanted Craigslist postings from view using machine learning, and sorted the rest based on specific attributes. He is well-versed in Python, C$_0$, and C.
Shyam Raghavan has had seven years of programming experience. He has served as a teaching assistant for the School of Computer Science for two semesters, specifically for 15-122, which makes him especially prepared to create a teaching tool for C$_0$, the main language used in the course.. In the past, Shyam has interned at Thumbtack, a west coast company which specializes in enabling consumers to hire experience professionals from a variety of fields. Shyam has experience with C, JavaScript, and C$_0$.
Aaron Gutierrez has had ten years of programming experience. He has also served as a teaching assistant for the School of Computer Science for two semesters, specifically for 15-122 just like Shyam. Aaron is very well-versed in JavaScript, C, and C$_0$.
Mitchell Plamann has had <blank> years of programming experience. He is very experienced in creating projects designed to <blank>. Mitchell has coded extensively in <blank>, <blank>, and <blank>.
