CS 330 Lecture 13 – Data Structures in C, Make
Agenda what ?s riddle variable-length arrays distinct ideas: memory is addressable heap memory can be allocated dynamically generating stereo tones pointer arithmetic a stack data structure without classes typedef separate compilation and header files a postfix calculator managing separate compile with make Variable-length Arrays The C99 standard allows arrays whose sizes are only known at […]
CS 455 Lecture 9 – Trackball Interface and Lighting++

Watch http://youtu.be/urgJXkjyVIU. Read pages 50-54 and 97-100 in your book. In Class Implement per-fragment toon shading using a positional light source. Use the right-mouse button to place the light source on a virtual sphere centered over your viewport. If you have time, use the left-mouse button to apply trackball […]
CS 330 Lecture 12 – Malloc, Classless Data Structures, and Make
Agenda what ?s what does this do? two primary reasons for heap storage: functions can return data cheaply memory needs not always known at compile time an EZMALLOC macro aplay -c 2 -f S16_LE -r 22050 file pointer arithmetic fopen, fwrite, fclose a stack API the need for separate compilation and header files makefiles What […]

Disabling Touch and Stylus Button on Wacom Tablet in Linux
I’ve got a Wacom Bamboo tablet that I use for drawing during recorded lectures. The stylus works great, but the tablet also responds to my fingers. Touch events were firing at all the wrong times, so I disabled them. The xsetwacom utility came to the rescue: When I plug the tablet in, each input mechanism […]
