Seminars

• On every seminar we will implement selected problems/algorithms from lessons. We will usually start with a prearranged template downloadable from this site.
• As a programming language we will use C#. We will use Visual C# 2010 Express / Sharp Develop as a development environment. Alternatively you can use MonoDevelop (Linux / Mac OSX) on your own machine.
• Don't cheat - create instead. Any kind of cheating is punished by withholding 15 points of your final evaluation for all involved students. Situation where only part of code is shared is also considered cheating!
• Attendance at seminars is optional, but recommended.
• Additional activity can be awarded by max 10 points of your final evaluation.

Assignments

• Assignment must be submitted until next deadline 24:00
• Tuesday seminar attendees should submit their assignments during the seminar or by the email to cg1.2013.hw@gmail.com.
• Monday seminars submission email is cg1.2014.hw@gmail.com
• Your submission email must have title in form 'ExNN' where NN is the number of exercise, eg. Ex05.
• You can get max 100% per assignment. Late submission is for 0%.
• It is required to submit zipped source code of your homework. Do not send only executable files. Homework without source code is for 0%.
• Your code should be well formatted and commented. Titles of functions, classes, variables should be representative for their purpose.

Project

• Project is your opportunity to gain additional 20 points of your final evaluation (during the semester) and it is optional. It must be submitted by email to cg1.2013.hw@gmail.com including your solution and source files.
• Comment your code and add help!
• Submission until - 6 days before you final term
• Project assignments - Choose among these themes or create your own. You should notify cg1.2013.hw@gmail.com with your idea about the chosen project (idea, language, implementation, application). More info in person on M113.
• Ideas:
  • Voxel Data Structure - 3D should be used, generate voxelization of objects
  • Advanced Mesh Transformations - Take blender mesh function and implement it
  • Gimp Layer functions - Darken, Soft light, ...
  • Displacement Modeling - a.k.a Z-brush
  • Other - Specify in the email
