What do you mean by Stub methods, comment where implementation will be, and properties/access levels?

[erisco]

Methods for the ball at least include 'update' and 'draw'.

There is a diagram (https://github.com/GIGA-uwindsor/Pong/wiki/Design-&-Architecture) on the wiki outlining responsibilities of the Ball. By 'comment where the implementation will be', I'm saying to leave a comment in each method stating which responsibility needs to be taken care of. If the responsibility spans multiple methods, just put a comment at the top of the file. This is merely serving to translate the diagram into some code that we can work on.

Properties refer to GFW_Property, or custom getters and setters. Either case, it is simply an encapsulated field. Access levels refer to private, protected, and public. I forgot to mention this on the coding conventions page, but I'll put it there now.

• private is double underscore prefixed (ex: __name). Indicates usage only within the current class.
• protected is single underscore prefixed (ex: _name). Indicates usage only within the current class and in other classes which have imported the class via GFW_mixin.
• public no prefix or suffix (ex: pname). Indicates usage by anyone.

There is one other accessibility, internal, that is used within the framework, but isn't of concern here.
