Remarks
1. CS 4411 requires knowledge in C or C++ and OpenGL
programming. It will take a lot of your time, but it is a very useful
course.
Basic OpenGL will be covered in the project help session. But the
best way to learn is by studying examples and working on the
projects.
2. All projects are to be completed in a group up to 2 students.
Your group is given a total of 8 late days credit that can be used
in any project. However, no bonus will be counted if your
project is late, regardless your late days credit.
3. Absolutely no sharing or copying of code among groups!!
Offender will be given a failure grade and the case will be
reported to his/her major department.
