Assignments use the C programming language and OpenGL.
Assignments require a graphics card equivalent or better than
an nVidia 5200 (all machines in Prism fulfill this requirement).
Course Policies
Late assignements or projects will not be accepted, unless prior
arrangement has been made with the instructor. Missed midterms are
handled in the same way. Note that exceptions to the late policy will be
made only in serious cases and if the circumstances are documentable and
