Assignment 3

General Information

E-mail C++ source for the program described below to me at ffggc@uaf.edu, using the subject "GA3". (If you wish to discuss the assignment with me via e-mail, use a different subject.)
- If possible, please send your source as an attachment to your e-mail, rather than as part of the body text.
- Send source only! No executables, project/workspace files, etc.
Be sure to include your name in your e-mail.
Due: Tuesday, September 30 (any time).
Worth: 30 points.

See the Homework Policies handout.

Write a C++ program using OpenGL/GLUT that meets the following requirements.

Your program must display relevant text in its (graphics) window.
Your program must respond in some meaningful way to the mouse. A mouse-based pop-up menu is acceptable. So is some other type of mouse-based interaction, e.g., a mouse-based painting program.
Your program must do something.

Doing any one of the following is sufficient—but do them all if you want!

Add a more advanced OpenGL feature to your program. For example, try learning about and implementing one of the following.
- line stipples
- polygon stipples
- polygon mode
Do not expect full credit on two different assignments for the same advanced feature!
Have your program do something practical. You will need to explain to me why you think your program is practical.
Make your program some kind of game, with scoring, rules, etc.
Include mouse-based picking of several objects in your program.
Include a working widget in your program (mouse-based button, slider, etc.).

Particularly well-done programs may be demonstrated in class.
