<font face="serif">Alright -- on the web page you will now find
copies of homework 2, programming assignment 2, and the group
programming assignment. These are all found in the HOMEWORK
section.<br>
<br>
I also added some more examples to the website and included a
Mathematica notebook for transformation matrices to help you all
see what is going on. We will look at it more on Tuesday. You
need to start working on the homework now so you have some idea of
what we are trying to accomplish next week.<br>
<br>
Next Tuesday we will also get "down and dirty" with actually doing
the animation process in your arrow. While you have all of the
"animation machinery" in the movedot program I gave you, you most
likely are still missing the pieces to actually transform the
arrow. <br>
<br>
Work for this weekend.... <br>
<br>
First: I have included a matrix multiplication program in
/pub/pounds/CSC315/codesFromClass called vmatm.c. This program
uses a linear memory addressing style for matrices that is found
throughout most of my programs. If you have another method of
accessing matrices -- that accomplishes the same task and accesses
memory in the same linear manner -- I would like to see it. I
know that you can do things like mat[][], but the mechanism of
setting these up properly and moving memory segments into and out
of functions (requiring pointers to arrays of pointers) has always
seemed a bit much to throw at students who struggle with pointers
in the first place. <br>
<br>
Second: Get your screen and arrow ready. You need an array of
points for your arrow, probably best to go with an array of vertex
structs).<br>
<br>
We are going to work a lot in class next week -- I am going to
want to see code from EVERYBODY. If you are not ready to move
with me you are going to fall way behind.<br>
