GAM670/DPS905 -- Weekly Schedule 20121
Week 1 - Jan 8
This Week
- Assignment Discussion
- Suggested Enhancements
- Review of the Base Code
- Definition of a Framework
- Modularity through stable interfaces
- Re-usability through generic components
- Extensibility through hook methods
- Inversion of control - determines which application methods to invoke in response to external events
- Framework Architecture
- Modelling Layer
- API Translation Layer
- Notable Features of the Base Code
- camera, sound, and light are also derived from the Frame class
- textures attach at the object level
- texture connection is uncoupled from drawing of the graphics primitives
- reference frames are relative
- very simple collision detection
- Definition of a Framework
To Do
- add your name to the student list
- create a team page that includes the semester number 20121
- describe the game that you intend to develop
- list the topics of interest to your team in developing its game
- list the other topics of interest
Resources
Week 2 - Jan 16
This Week
- Relative Reference Frames
- Recursive calls
- Vector Frame::position()
- Matrix Frame::rotation()
- Matrix Frame::world()
- Detaching from and attaching to a parent frame
- Frame::attachTo()
- Recursive calls
- Geometry
- Plane
- normal + constant - examples
- equation of a plane: dot(n, x) + D = 0
- positive side of a plane dot(n, x) + D > 0
- Plane
- Collision Detection
- types of colliders
- spheres
- planes
- axis-aligned bounding boxes
- oriented bounding boxes
- types of colliders
To Do
- Research the feature that you are going to add and prepare a plan of action
- Prepare a team page for your team so that repos can be ordered
- Add a section to your team page to track your project and solicit commentary
