CS1302: 2026-01-29
MOSTLY WORKING ON PROJECTS
Usual Preparation
- Open Qunicy (with code if you have some)
- Open rustpad.io/#CS1302
- And I'll attempt to get the Google Meet started before you call me! Just an ordinary call, though I'll try to get a camera set up on my laptop, too.
Continued Array Examples: array-demo.cpp
One-on-One Work for Your Projects
- Cael's Music visualizer: uses a sound playing library, arrays, open-ended music visualizers, and perhaps Fourier transformations for a more advanced verseion.
- Luke's Lunar lander: uses colors, a bmp background, discrete Newtonian physics, keyboard and mouse input
- Carter's Newtonian starship: uses colors, more animation, discrete Newtonian physics
Introduction to Indexing in the ITTDB:
-
Choose something to index from
this list of stories discussed in Worlds Enough and Time by Gary Westfahl;
or from
this other list of stories discussed in Time Machines by Paul Nahin.
NOTE: Before choosing a story, click on the More Details list and ensure that it doesn't yet have a Librarian listed at the bottom. (It should have
me listed as the Curator. When you've selected a story, let me know and I'll help you find it in an online library. Also send me your individual
choice of your librarian name, login name, and password for the ITTDB.
