2005 class questions

[Nebula]

Since someone has gotten lazy and started up the forums without creating a 2005 discussion forum, I'll post here.

I'm debating between Session 2 (PocketPC Dev) and Session 3 (GameDev). I was planning on taking GameDev, but then PocketPCDev showed up when I wasn't expecting it.

If we take PocketPC, I'm guessing CAEN won't supply us with a PocketPC to use for the 2 weeks we're there, and that we have to bring our own. Though that might be a good reason to get a PocketPC...hmm........!!!

And what's the sample program for C++? That's all it says, that we have to submit a program, it doesn't say anything about what the program needs to do (to prove what we know). Because it's who I am, I'd probably submit a Hello World program if the definition stays open-ended like it is now.

I'm getting excited already!!

What are you talkin about?

You can feel free to write any program you would like, now if hello world doesn't get you into the class that is unfortunate. It may be a better idea to submit something that shows some of the more complex things you have done with the language.

The original program for this class was to create a vector program using linked lists or dynamic arrays. Like &quot;vector&lt;####&gt; bush_administration&quot; http://campcaen-dev.engin.umich.edu/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif
Mebbe you do this.

At the time of my first posting, there was no forum for CampCAEN 2005 stuff, so I posted this in the 2004 questions forum. Apparently someone created a new forum and then moved posts into the new one. Perhaps you, since there's a small gap of time between your two posts? http://campcaen-dev.engin.umich.edu/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I was just trying to get a general idea of what they wanted for the program. I don't like totally open-ended stuff like this, since I don't know what it should do.

I took Intermediate C++ last year...maybe I should make my final project work, and then submit that? It was a little gorillas clone that only used console output (hit detection is the only thing I have left to code)...it didn't draw individual pixels, so the animations are pretty lameo. But the building drawing code works, and I taught myself the ConIO library so I could get it to output colors (multiple colors, not just make the whole screen one color). Kinda funny, since the actual amount of code to handle multiple console color characters is nowhere near the amount the instructor said it would be. I'm so glad I didn't take no for an answer ;)
