<p><font face="serif">I have talked to some of you this weekend that
are working on the second project and struggling a bit. It is
not an easy project. Be sure and use whatever I gave you in the
"brot" repository (modifying it of course for C++ if you
desire). Here are some other recommendations.</font></p>
<ol>
<li><font face="serif">To make the tree, draw a full circle of
points, eliminate the points you don't want, and then offset
the points to the right. Then to that array/vector add the
remaining points of the tree.</font></li>
<li><font face="serif">Get all of the transformations working
using what I gave you as a starting point for modification<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="serif">Remember that your tesselations have to get
transformed too.</font></li>
<li><font face="serif">Do clipping LAST - but make sure you have
at least two "development days" to get clipping done properly.</font></li>
</ol>
<p><font face="serif">While I know that some of you are done with
the transformations and are working on tesselations, I don't
think anybody has gotten to the part of clipping yet. I want
you to do well on this project -- so I am going to extend the
deadline by one week. The second project will be due on
midnight of<b> October 31st</b>. This will also give me enough
time to get your graded first project back to you proir to you
turning in a second project. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">By the way -- some of you did not create an
issue for me to grade your first project on Anvil -- or you may
have created the issue but did not assign it to me. Please make
sure that that the issue was created and that it was assigned to
me. I get grumpy when I have to dig through the thousand or so
projects stored on Anvil looking for things to grade...</font></p>
<p>Keep the questions coming.<br>
