General Rules

Plagiarism Note and Late Submissions

Copying code (either from other students or from external sources) is strictly prohibited! We will be using automatic anti-plagiarism tools, and any violation of this rule will lead to expulsion from the class. Late submissions will be accepted with a grade penalty of 30% for up to 1 week after the deadline. In case of serious illness or emergency please notify the assistants and provide a relevant medical certificate.

Provided Software

For this class, you will use the minimal framework provided with each assignment. It compiles on Windows, Linux and Mac. If you have trouble compiling follow the procedure used by the auto-builds when available (file .travis.yml for Mac/Linux, and file .appveyor.yml for Windows) before contacting the assistant. Make sure to pull the more recent changes from the git repository as we might be updating the source code from time to time.

Preparing the Build Environment

The assignments will use CMake as a build system. Before we can begin, you must install CMake on your computer. I recommend installing it with a package manager instead of the CMake download page. E.g. on Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install cmake, with HomeBrew on Mac: brew install cmake, and on Windows with Chocolatey: choco install -y cmake.

You must install a C++ compiler: gcc/clang on Linux, clang on Mac, Visual Studio on Windows. If you are looking for an IDE to develop in C++, we recommend CLion on Mac/Linux, and Visual Studio on Windows. Students looking for more lightweight options might be interested in SublimeText, Atom, or VS Code, all of which are very similar editors and run on both Linux/Mac/Windows.

Compiling the Sample Projects

We will provide a folder for each assignment with some sample code to get you started. Included in each assignment folder is a CMake build system that should enable you to easily compile your code. For each assignment, you will need to do the following:

  1. Copy the assignment code from github classes (or from this repository)
  2. Download the folder "ext" from this github repository, and copy it at the same level as the assignment folder
  3. Create a directory called build in the assignment directory, e.g.: 
    cd assignment_X; mkdir build
  4. Use CMake to generate the Makefile/project files needed for compilation inside the build/ directory: 
    cd build; cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
  5. Compile and run the compiled executable by typing: 
    make; ./assignmentX

If you run into problems, please create an issue on the github repository .

What to Hand In

The delivery of the exercises is done using nyu classes. The repository should follow the template provided in the starter code, and it must contain:

  • The source code, together with the necessary CMake project files, but excluding all compiled binaries/libraries. Specifically, do not include the build/ directory. The code must successfully compile in Travis on the Linux operating system.

  • A small report (in pdf or text/markdown format) containing a description of what you’ve implemented, as well as explanations/comments on your results.

  • Screenshots of all your results with associated descriptions in the report file.

Note: It will generally not be necessary to use additional external software for your assignments. If you find that you need to use additional binaries / external libraries other than those provided by us, please first get approval by sending a message on nyu classes.

Grading

The code will be evaluated on Linux, if you develop on different operating systems the assistants might ask you to bring your laptop for the grading.

Your submission will be graded according to the quality of your image results, and the correctness of the implemented algorithms. The submitted code must reproduce exactly the images included in your readme.
