CSE 558 Physics and Data-based Computer Animation Spring Quarter 2002

Projects

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.

We suggest you use fltk for UI, which runs on both NT and Unix environments. There are several machines in Sieg 228 with special OpenGL-accelerated graphics cards and big monitors (and the slooooow CPUs).

About Fltk	Instruction to install Fltk on your machine Fltk Programming Manual Fltk demo for NT and its sources. For Linux users, see the demo in /cse/courses/cse557/local/bin/fltk_demo and its sources in /cse/courses/cse557/local/src/fltk_demo.
