I have an interesting dilemma.
I am currently in my final year of high school, and hoping to enter software engineering at a reputable school.
My final year computer science course requires me to produce a high quality game. The technical details are fine, and a group is in place. Unfortunately the group cannot be changed and a significant member has turned out to be a bad apple. He has been given the task of creating the background images, but he refuses to even begin work. The project is due in approximately four weeks and the task is tremendous. I, being the group leader, am responsible for making sure all the work gets done, as well as coding the entire application. It is not a simple task, as this is my first initiation with DirectX, and I could not possibly manage to take on the extra load of preparing the graphics for the game. The other group members lack the skills in order to produce aesthetically pleasing graphics.
Please provide me advice, based on your professional experience, as to how I can, in a seemingly powerless situation, coax an obnoxious and unwilling group member into doing his work.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
