1 Christoff is writing a program to simulate a city using object-oriented programming.

He is designing classes to
store different types of buildings and their location on the road. He has created the following plan for some of the
buildings:

Christoff wants to create a new house called houseOne. It has the properties: 2 floors, 8(m) width, 10(m) height,
3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The house is located on a road with the identifier limeAvenue of type houseRoad, houseOne is the first house
in this road.

Write pseudocode or program code to declare the house houseOne, road limeAvenue and assign houseOne

 to the first array position in the road.

 2 Laser Tag is a game where teams of players move round an arena shooting each other with infrared guns.
Players wear sensors that keep track of how many times they have been hit by the laser. This is known as being
‘tagged’.

At the end of each match players upload their score to a computer. The computer stores the scores in the order
they are received in a 2D array called . The array stores the team as an integer (1 for green, 2 for red)
and their score. An extract of the array called is shown below. The first entry shows a green team
member scored 45 points and the next shows a red team member scored 30 points.

1 45
2 30
2 46
1 31
1 10
1 32
2 2

Once all the players have uploaded their scores the computer adds up the scores for each team.

Using pseudocode write a program for a procedural language that works out and outputs the total score for each
team. You may assume that there are always 20 players.

 3 * In assembly language, different modes of addressing memory can be used.

Discuss the different modes used. You should include:

• How the operand value is determined

• What an operand of 27 would refer to in that mode
• The reasons for requiring multiple modes of addressing [12]

 4 * Procedural programming and object-oriented programming are two paradigms commonly used by
programmers when developing computer games.

Discuss the advantages of using object-oriented programming over procedural programming when developing
computer games. You should refer to inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism in your answer.

following part of an example.

Address in current instruction register (CIR) is 3

Address to be used is 3+11=14

Name and explain two modes of addressing that this example could show.
