Senior year of high school, but this project is for a class where we're doing some serious college level stuff. Take AP compsci, hopefully you're going to a good school where they teach it to you right, and you know all the AB stuff before the test. The theory in that class is good to know, and Java is a really good language to know well. We're doing computer graphics. In Java. It's pretty hard but damned awesome. Right now, I've got all the stuff I need in wireframes, but for the final project, I need to be able to ray trace it or actually shade it somehow (ray tracing's easier and cooler, so I'll be doing that. Last term we did some serious linux systems programming, which was cool, that was in c.Here's a sample of the shapes I've got now in wireframe, a torus, sphere and box, and I can do some cool transformations to them. The shapes are stored in a matrix of all the points, and a list of all the pairs that make lines, if you're into the nerdy details, so it's all geometrically based. Neat stuff. Can't wait till CS 101 next year. Oh, and be warned, it looks like crap when zoomed out because all the lines are only one pixel thick and the scaling fails .Dammit, sorry, that was not on topic, but oh well. I'm still waiting on uzii for the planets, I think I'll try his email rather than a PM soon. Other than that, no new news.
