| Jun 11, 2014 at 20:55 | comment | added | Patrick Collins | @user3710669 unless that game you linked is open-source (and it doesn't seem to be), it looks like your classmates must have written all the code themselves. I don't see anything wrong in modeling your game mechanics off of someone else's work, unless that's something your class explicitly forbids. Especially given that the game is intended for children, I can't imagine that "novelty" is more important that "good execution." | |
| Jun 11, 2014 at 20:20 | comment | added | rogerdpack | surprised no one has suggested "tell them to quit cheating, privately, or you're going to turn them in" | |
| Jun 11, 2014 at 17:01 | comment | added | Raydot | Was being terse for purposes of getting my point across. That they're members of another group maybe changes my opinion a little bit but looking at it from the teacher's point of view if it were my classroom I wouldn't foment the culture of students ratting each other out. In every other profession colleagues have to learn to work out their differences. I know academics is quite a bit more prone to indirect confrontation, but I've never been a fan. Subtle enough for ya? :) | |

| Jun 10, 2014 at 22:29 | comment | added | Davidmh | @DaveKaye I believe in this case is a different group, so he is not involved. | |

| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:34 | comment | added | Raydot | I agree you should tell the TA/Instructor, but you have to confront your classmates first. This happened to me in grad school and I called my classmates on it and said, "I'm not putting my name on this assignment if you hand it in like this and if you do I'm going to tell the teacher what you did." They reworked the assignment. | |
| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:22 | comment | added | user3710669 | @Moriarty: I haven't got a problem with "snitching", I actually felt I have the kind of duty to report this being class representative. They have also "cheated" before (2 times), so I guess it's time to finally let them face the music. | |
| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:21 | comment | added | ff524 | Many of the answers to that question also discuss when one should/shouldn't "tell" on a cheating classmate. So, that question and its answers are related to yours. | |
| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:19 | comment | added | Moriarty | Yes, you should report it to the lecturer or TA. If you feel uneasy "snitching", you could even create an anonymous email address to send the report from. But it's the right thing to do. | |
| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:18 | comment | added | user3710669 | @CharlesMorisset Thank you for straightening me up on that! | |
| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:18 | comment | added | user3710669 | @ff524: I am not sure how I would use that question in my situation, could you please make it more obvious for me, please? | |
| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:14 | comment | added | user102 | I removed the links, because we should not judge if there is plagiarism or not, that's the role of your teacher and/or of the committee. | |
| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:14 | comment | added | ff524 | Related question on "informing" on classmates: How to handle someone propositioning me to collude/cheat with them on an assignment? | |

Removed the links, as we should not be the one to judge plagiarism.
