Project 5 hints
- A word of wisdom: "Novice programmers often neglect the
design phase, instead diving into coding without giving
thought to the evolution of a piece of software over time.
The result is a haphazard, poorly modularized code which is
difficult to maintain and modify. A few minutes of planning
short-term and long-term goals at the beginning is time well
spent." (Paul Heckbert, Writing a Ray Tracer, in
An Introduction to Ray Tracing, edited by Andrew
Glassner).
- Most of what you need to implement will be in the file
"my.c".
- Take a look at this brief
description of the subset of inventor we are using.
