7.5

Programming techniques, algorithms and data structures, with focus on applications in drawing, graphics and animation. Use of standard graphics and modelling libraries in graphics applications. 2-D and 3-D concepts and modelling techniques. Systematic development and testing of programs.

A student who takes this course will develop the ability to:

• develop and test medium size programs with main focus on graphics and animation applications.
• understand and use standard algorithms and data structures.
• understand the principles of representing 2-D and 3-D models in a computer.
• generate 2-D and 3-D images from computer models and integrate them in application programs.
• use a standard graphics library/API.
• be aware of the applications of graphics and animation in the digital media.

Dat-A or equivalent. Some programming experience is expected but the course serves also to develop general programming competence.

Thursdays from 1.00 - 5.15 p.m. in the period from September 5 - November 21 2013.

Lectures and practical problems classes using computers. Handed-in projects can be done in small groups.

January 2014.

20 min. individual oral exam based on a written assignment

For an excellent performance the course participant must demonstrate:

• With respect to knowledge and understanding of the principles of creating simple 2-D and 3-D models and generating images and animations. solid knowledge, insight, and overview;
• With respect to command and application of theories and methods: solid description, competent application, and critical reflection;
• With respect to the ability to implement, test and document small to medium sized graphics and animation programs, referring to the submitted practical coursework: demonstrated in a convincing manner.

For a good performance the course participant must demonstrate:

• With respect to knowledge and understanding of the principles of creating simple 2-D and 3-D models and generating images and animations. knowledge and insight;
• With respect to command and application of theories and methods: clear description and relatively consistent application;
• With respect to the ability to implement, test and document small to medium sized graphics and animation programs, referring to the submitted practical coursework: demonstrated in a reasonable manner.

For a performance meeting only the minimum requirements for acceptance the course participant must demonstrate;

• With respect to knowledge and understanding of the principles of creating simple 2-D and 3-D models and generating images and animations. sufficient but limited knowledge
• With respect to command and application of theories and methods: sufficient description and application;
• With respect to the ability to implement, test and document small to medium sized graphics and animation programs, referring to the submitted practical coursework: demonstrated in an uncertain manner.
