B581 End of Semester Graduate Project

Points: 30.
Due date: Monday, May 1, 2017, at midnight.
Presentation: Monday, April 24, 2017. General idea and current progress.

Requirements

• The project should be about the size of two homework assignments.
  
  
• The project should use the OpenGL library; variations such as WebGL or a Python or Java implementation are acceptable.
  
  
• The project can be part of a bigger project you are doing for some other purpose; however, a component related to graphics must be added to it specifically for this class.
  
  
• The project can use one of the homework assignments we did as a starting point.

Suggestions

• Another fractal application, other than the ones we did in the homework. For example, the Mandelbrot fractal with configurable options (color, seed for the fractal, etc.)
  
  
• A tree fractal in OpenGL based on a scene graph.
  
  
• Completing the solar system homework with all the planets and a few more satellites, or turning it into a mini-galaxy.
  
  
• Completing the Brickout homework with several levels and a score.
  
  
• Another OpenGL game.
  
  
• Any scene graph application, such as a mobile robot with a certain behavior (for example, walking along a given path).
  
  
• A visualization application where you create a 3D display starting from a data file where you have points with possibly several dimensions and using the color and/or the shape of individual data points to show the value of one of the coordinates.
