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

The supported development environment is MS Visual C++ 6.0 under Windows NT 4.0. There are fourteen machines in Sieg 228 with special OpenGL-accelerated graphics cards and big monitors. Other NT machines within the department will work as well. You're welcome to do the projects elsewhere, but you will need a machine with 24-bit color.
