Projects

The following project descriptions are subject to change without notice up until the day they are assigned. However, you are welcome to look ahead at the descriptions, as they exist now, to get an idea of what's coming.

The user interface for each project is written using FLTK, a cross-platform OpenGL toolkit. There are several machines in Seig 228 with OpenGL accelerated graphics cards. You may use these machines or your own desktop (acceleration will make your life a LOT easier however).
