[edit] Class Resources
There is no textbook for this course. Your own class notes, the information on the main course web page and on this wiki should provide everything you need.
Our primary tool will be The Mead Graphics System, which is being developed by Duane Bailey in the Computer Science Department at Williams College. Mead is an evolving project that processes a Scheme-based modeling language with DrScheme and generates scene description files for the Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer (commonly called POVRay). POVRay renders images and animations from these scene descriptions.
You can install Mead on your system. Go to the Mead distribution page.
Class examples are now available on this wiki, gathered on the examples page as well as in /home/jteresco/shared/cs110/examples from the Clapp 202 Linux systems.
Shared models are now listed on the shared models category page, and can be found in /home/jteresco/shared/cs110/shared_models on the Clapp 202 Linux systems.
