JAVA01/Algorithm For Movie Lookup

Classnotes | JAVA01 | RecentChanges | Preferences

Find an obscure movie reference on http://imdb.com/ . It should be something that is not directly linkable from the main-page.

Come up with a basic algorithm (instructions) for teaching someone how to find that obscure movie reference. You can make the following assumptions about this person:

  • They are familier enough with computers to be able to type and use the mouse (including clicking on the left mouse button, but not the right or middle buttons... Like most people, they've never really used the other buttons).

  • They are familier with links, input-fields, and click-boxes in websites.

  • When they sit at a computer to follow your instructions, they will be greeted with an empty screen with an icon for their web-browser. They know what the web-browser icon is, and essentially how to use the web-browser. However, you have no garantee they will be using the same web-browser as you do.
