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

To Do

  1. add your name to the student list
  2. 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

To Do

  • reorganize framework code so that vertex shader receives product of world, view, and projection matrices
    • store viewProjection matrix as an instance variable in Display
    • pre-multiply viewProjection by world to obtain composite matrix to pass to vertex shader
    • add composite matrix to the constant table in the vertex shader
  • reorganize framework code to minimize duplication of heading normalization
    • perform normalization of heading in APIDisplay::beginDrawFrame()
