CS 330 Lecture 12 – Storing a Program

Agenda what ?s think about this storing program structures in Basecalc TODO Watch two videos on optimization from Stanford professor Alex Aiken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8PEtL9AYmQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRfh7hUx26k. Feel free to watch at double speed. Share 3-4 questions or observations on a 1/4 sheet. Think About This Suppose we add a ternary operator to our Basecalc language. What happens when we […]

CS 455 Lecture 8 – Calculating Normals

Agenda what ?s finding Playdoh normals finding normals of a model Think About This Here’s what you know: The positions of five vertices. Connectivity information (e.g., vertices 0, 1, and 2 form a face). Vector operations: you can add 3D quantities, subtract them, take their dot product (which tells you the cosine of the angle […]

CS 330 Lecture 11 – Basecalc Interpreter Cont’d

Agenda what ?s defining an interpreter add callbacks to interpreter internode communication variables TODO See post Git Syncing + Permissions Issues on Thingies on Piazza to fix some problems you are likely to encounter.
