Assignment 1
CSCI-4965: Three-Dimensional Computer Graphics
Fall 2000


Description

Example code

Here is a sample Makefile and an example from the OpenGL book. You can compile and run the example program on the Sun Ultra10 machines in the Sparc Lab.

Lab

You can use the Sun Ultra10 machines with Elite3D graphics in the Sparc Lab in Amos Eaton 217. You should already have a login ID and password to log on to these machines.

Note on Lab Timings: The Sparc Lab will be open on Saturday, Sept. 30 from 9am-5pm and on Sunday, Oct. 1 from 12noon-4pm. You can enter and use the lab at any other time if you are able to get in. (There usually are some students working in the lab late at night.) If you are the last person to leave the lab, please lock the door behind you.

Handin Instructions

You will submit your assignment by running a script that tars files in the source directory, gzips and tars them, and emails the uuencoded file. You will automatically receive an email acknowledgment of your submission (sent to your CS account).

To submit your assignment, follow these steps:
1. You must be on a CS machine running unix. The Ultras in the Sparc lab will do fine.
2. Go to the directory in which all your source code (source and header files), Makefile, and README file are placed.
3. Type "submit compgraph" at the prompt.
This script will automatically tar, gzip, uu-encode and email the entire directory contents. It tries to be smart about not including executable and object files, core files, etc.
4. You will receive an automatic email reply showing all the files that were submitted, along with a timestamp. This email is sent to your CS account, so be sure to check there or forward email from there to your RCS account.

Note that you can send in multiple submissions. We will use the most recent one for evaluation of your assignment. The corresponding timestamp will serve to determine the penalty for late submissions.

Let us know if you have any problems with this submission procedure.

Important: Please save your submitted assignment files until your assignment has been graded.
