Course Review for Midterm Exam
CS 482 Lecture,
Dr. Lawlor
We've covered a lot of really interesting, deep stuff
this semester:
- Simple vectors and Newtonian mechanics: position and velocity,
wind resistance, timestepping, stability
- Object orientation and angular velocity
- Different ways to scale a gravity calculation (naive O(N^2),
tree-based)
- Simulating decisionmaking
- Simulating springs and finite elements
- Creating and loading 3D models into simulations
- Computing collisions
- Modifying meshes
- Simulating vehicles
- Simulating cellular automata
- Running simulations on the graphics card
