OpenGL, Fall 2005

1. Assignment: Variation of the Trajectory Program", Introduction to computer simulation graphics modeling

2. To compile OpenGL programs:
   • lgcc - if you want a.out and don't want to use .c (use chmod 755 Lgcc" to make this executable)
   • Compile with "Lgcc progname" - no ".c"): Lgcc script (C) (use "chmod 755 Lgcc" to make this executable)
   • Lg++ script (C++) (use "chmod 755 Lg++" to make this executable)
     or lgcc - if you want a.out and don't want to use .c

   • Other example starter programs
     • graph.c Draws a basic parabola: y = -(x^2 - 100) uses arrow keys to move parabola, ESC to quit)
     • graph2.c Draws a basic parabola: y = -(x^2 - 100) with animation and double buffering,
       uses arrow keys to move parabola, ESC to quit)
     • 2D simple animation: Animated parabola and squares
     • 3D simple animation + Adding a menu
