its pretty hard but you got this
Answer
Step 1: Top-Down Design
A top-down approach to programming can help us solve a big problem by breaking it down into smaller modules.
Let’s apply a top-down approach to designing a computer system for a movie theater.
First, make a list of all of the high-level tasks that a movie theater needs to do. To get you started, one of your tasks could be “sell tickets.” You must come up with at least three other tasks (modules).
Now, break down each one of those modules even further. For “sell tickets,” you might break it down into “calculate total price,” “update seats available,” and “print tickets.” Each of your modules should have at least two sub-modules.
Finally, log-in to Lucidchart, start a new document, and put all of your modules into an organized diagram.
Step 2: Bottom-Up Design
A bottom-up approach to programming can help us with understanding the basics and lay a solid foundation before trying to tackle a large problem. Think of a video game or board game. Instead of having an idea at the beginning of exactly how the game should be played (and how the player could win), you are going to think about the pieces of the game that you want to develop.
First, think of the small aspects, or components, of the game. Maybe you’re envisioning building a video game. Do you want your game to have amazing graphics with life-like animals? You could use “life-like animals” as a module at the bottom level of your design. Or maybe you’re thinking about a cool, new board game where players have the opportunity to sabotage another player’s castle. That’s an idea that could be a module at the bottom level of your design.
Come up with six to eight bottom-level modules for your game. Remember, they should be specific and form the building blocks for a bigger game that could be designed.
Now, group together some of your modules into a broader module. For example, you could group together specific ideas about life-like animals, music, and colors from your video game design into a bigger module called “graphics.” You should make sure that each sub-module gets grouped into a bigger module.
Keep grouping your modules until you are ready to end with an overall game title.
Finally, put all of your modules into a Lucidchart document, just like you did for the top-down activity. It may look like you just did another top-down design since the diagrams will look similar in shape, but the difference is in where we started!

It seems like you are embarking on a design challenge involving top-down and bottom-up design approaches for creating a computer system for a movie theater and a video game. This exercise is a great way to break down complex systems into manageable modules and components.
For the top-down design of a computer system for a movie theater:
High-Level Tasks:
1. Sell Tickets
2. Manage Concessions
3. Schedule Movie Screenings
Submodules for "Sell Tickets":
- Calculate Total Price
- Update Seats Available
- Print Tickets
Submodules for "Manage Concessions":
- Inventory Management
- Process Payments
- Update Menu
Submodules for "Schedule Movie Screenings":
- Create Film Schedule
- Reserve Seats
- Notify Customers
You can organize these modules in a structured diagram using a tool like Lucidchart.
For the bottom-up design of a video game:
Bottom-Level Modules:
1. Character Design
2. Background Music
3. Game Levels
4. Game Mechanics
5. Artwork Design
6. Sound Effects
Grouped Modules:
- Graphics (Character Design, Artwork Design)
- Audio (Background Music, Sound Effects)
- Gameplay (Game Levels, Game Mechanics)
Continue grouping the modules until you reach an overall game title that encompasses all the components. You can also visualize this design using Lucidchart or a similar tool.
These exercises will help you understand how to approach system design from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective, ensuring that you have a comprehensive and well-organized plan for developing complex systems. Let me know if you need further assistance!
