3350 - Homework Assignment #1

This is a group assignment. You may work in groups of 2.
You may work individually.

Animated waterfall model

Continue to work on your lab-1 particle-system program.

Your goal is to produce an animation of the Waterfall SDLC.

You may be creative.

4. Byzanz:

Read about the Byzanz program <--- right there. Make an animated gif image of your running program, and display it on a simple web page on your Odin web area.

I will ask Steve to install Byzanz on our department machines.

Byzanz was used to make the image above.
It is scaled to 50%.

Display your waterfall animation at the following web address:
https://cs.csub.edu/~username/3350/hw1.html
username is your Odin username.

Please name your image as hw1.gif.

Record your animation for just a few seconds, to keep the file small.
File size must not be greater than 1MB.

Notes:

Look to asteroids or other framework to see how OpenGL text is done.

Steps used to do the coding of demo program above:

 . made lab-1 window a little smaller and wider (500x360)
 . adjusted location of objects to fit new window size
 . added text components from a framework
 . gave each particle some random shade of light-blue
 . changed collision physics so that a particle will have a tendency to
       move to the right when bouncing on a box
 . displayed text aligned with each box drawn
   used a for-loop to draw boxes and text together.

 Your steps can be different, while reaching a similar goal.
 You may be creative and original,
 such as this submission from former students Alex and Andrew.
