Programming:
You will write 3-4 programs for this course. All programs must be written in C.  Documentation will count as 20% of the grade for each program.

Compiling and executing without errors on the published test data is considered minimal competency for any program.  Late programs will be penalized 3^n-1 points where n is the number of days late.    NO ONE will get an incomplete because they neglected to turn in programming assignments.

You may discuss high level design strategies and specifications of the assignments with other students in this class.  However, your programs (and homework)  are to represent your own work.  All coding and detailed algorithm design decisions are to be made without consultation with others.
 

Grading:
Programs      40%
Quizes (2)     30%
Final Exam   30%

Computer Accounts
All programming assignments will be tested on an SGI. You may use a PC, but you must make sure that your program can compile and run on an SGI. The SGI cluster on the first floor in CCB is available to you if you already have a College of Computing account. If you are not a College of Computing student and do not have an account, please apply for an account in room 213 of CCB.
 

Getting Started
In this course, programing will be done in C. We will use the OpenGL and GLUT libraries for basic graphics and windows programming. You will find the following links helpful:

• C tutorial
• OpenGL tutorial
• OpenGL and GLUT documentation

Programs and Assignments

1. Programming Assignment 1
2. Programming Assignment 2
3. Programming Assignment 3
4. Programming Assignment 4

Submitting Programs
The source code must be emailed to cs4451@cc.gatech.edu as an attachment. All assignments are due at the start of class on the due date. Submission after class will be considered late. All programs will be tested on an SGI. You may use a PC, but you must make sure that your program can compile and run on an SGI. Use the Makefile provided by the TA to compile your program on the SGI. Your name must be included in the header of the source code as comments.
