TRING is a variation of Carom Billiards that was invented by Jarek Rossignac for his undergraduate graphics course. Brian and I coded this game up in a mad rush near the end of our Fall 2002 semester so that we could show folks how we sometimes take simple projects a bit over the edge.

Smoker
[ Last updated: April 2003 ]

PROJECT STATUS: ON HOLD
CATEGORIES: Class Project, OpenGL, QuickTime

For a while there, I was really into fluid motion (I still am, though less actively). So, I worked on a fluid motion solver for a cinematic special effect. Results are here, here, here, and final movie. I was under a fast-approaching deadline at the time and haven't yet had the chance to turn this code into something useful for other applications, but its still fun to watch. Pardon the poor acting.

Helga was a simple exercise on curve simplification and compression. Brian and I used a lossy compression scheme involving quantization and Huffman coding of residues based on a simple curve predictor.
