Projects

Winter Quarter 2000

Projects

Projects are due during demos on the day noted. Artifacts are due before 5:00PM on the artifacts due date.

The following project descriptions are subject to change without notice up until the day they are assigned. However, you're welcome to look ahead at the descriptions, as they exist now, to get an idea of what's coming.

The projects will base on fltk, which runs on both NT and Unix environments. There are serveral machines in Sieg 228 with special OpenGL-accelerated graphics cards and big monitors (and the slooooow CPUs). You're welcome to do the projects on your own desktops or elsewhere, but you will need a machine with 24-bit color.
