This page documents what we do in class. It contains Java programs that we will discuss in class, reading assignments, simple exercises that you can work on for practice, sources of information, etc.
The reading assignments and practice problems are listed by the date on which they were assigned. The sample program files are listed by the date on which they were used. When you are viewing a source code page, you can use your browser's "File -> Save As..." menu item to save a copy of the code on your computer. It is a good idea for you to "play" with these example programs; compile them, run them, make simple changes to them and compile and run them again.
See the homework assignment page for your fourth programming assignment.
Read Section 6.1 (from the online graphics textbook) about the OpenGL programmable graphics pipeline.
I fixed all the JOGL texture examples.

Here is the code that we wrote in class today.
Because of the weather, class met at 3:30 using the Zoom application.
Here is a link to today's video lecture.
Here is the code we wrote in class today. I fixed the "mouse hit" problem by using the circle's location (instead of it's color) and it works very well and is easy to implement.
