CS490T - Tablet PC Graphics

 

 

Instructors: Daniel G. Aliaga, Chris Hoffmann

Spring 2004

 

Overview

In this projects course, we develop graphical sketch programs using Tablet PCs.  In groups of 2 or 3, each group builds a different program.  The course has limited enrollment of no more that 15 students.  Permission of the instructors is required. 

We preferably use C++ as the implementation language, GLUT/OpenGL for graphics and WinMFC or GLUI for user interfaces.  Projects can be built using existing code that is available or can be downloaded.  However, keep in mind that using a complex software system requires an initial effort to find your way around in the code.
 

Tablet PCs are provided for each student in the class.
