Haptics FTW

Morning:

• C++ Crash Course:
  • Edited yesterday's blog. There was an error of initializing an array. It's name [ rows ][ columns ] not the other way around.
  • library:
    • ifstream fileToRead ("read.txt"); //ifstream calls fileToRead as something like cin and reads lines from "read.txt"
    • ofstream fileToWrite ("write.txt"); //ofstream calls fileToWrite as something like cout and writes lines into "write.txt"
      • If the file does not exist, it creates it. If it does, it replaces it.
    • ofstream fileToWrite ("write.txt", ios::app); //the same as above but appends things into the "write.txt" instead of creating a new one
  • Pointers hold the memory alocation of another variable.
    • int *yPtr; //indicates it's a pointer
    • yPtr = &y; //indicates that yPtr is the address of y
    • (*) means the value of
    • (&) means the address of
  • new:
• The Lunch Lecture today was pretty interesting, but I liked better the Flux Studio program. It reminded me that we have ARToolKit! I want to play around with that program in my free time while I can. (I don't have it in my computer, dang)

Afternoon:

• Had our team meeting. Basically covered quite a bit of what we're supposed to do. The "proposal" isn't for until next Friday. Nice! This way I have a bit more time to think about what I'd like to do. In the meantime I'll have to think about the physics thing. It looks interesting as well.
• Finished the video for HCI class. Pretty happy with how it ended up, though I forgot to add at the end that the two songs I used were from Eric's samples. I'll add it later.
