University

For posterity; some assignments from my university days. Created between 2000-2003.

All sources are C/C++ and most rely on the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (glut32.dll), a window system independent toolkit for writing OpenGL programs. Originally, the programs were created with Visual Studio 6.0.

In order to compile and run on a more modern stack, the programs are updated to use FreeGLUT (http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/) and Visual Studio Community 2017.

Open the 'university.sln' solution file to browse the projects. Rebuild the solution to compile all projects. Binaries are created under the root build directory.

Autoregression:

Cloth texture generation via an autoregressive algorithm.

Bezier Spline:

Simple Bezier spline implementation in 3D.

Bouncing Balls:

Some basic physics and collision detection.

NOTE: does not compile right now, due to usage of old external jpeglib; needs updating.

Diffusion Limited Aggregation Algorithm:

Diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) is the process whereby particles undergoing a random walk due to Brownian motion cluster together to form aggregates of such particles.

Controls

• 1: set colour to red.
• 2: set colour to green.
• 3: set colour to blue.

L-Systems:

An L-system or Lindenmayer system is a parallel rewriting system and a type of formal grammar. L systems are applied mostly to organic systems (to describe growth and cell patterns), but can also be used to generate fractals. This program is an exploration of the latter.

Controls

• W: zoom in.
• S: zoom out.
• F: fullscreen.
• Q: quit.
• Hold mouse button and drag: pan/tilt the camera.
