Directions

Before you begin, review the module resources for this week. Then, if you have not done so already, download the CS$330$Content ZIP file and extract the contents to the C drive on your system. If you are using the Virtual Lab, the CS$330$Content folder will already be on Drive U$.$

Once you understand the content this week, begin the assignment by opening the Visual Studio solution $($SLN$)$ file. The file is located in the CS$330$Content$/$Projects$/2-2\_$Assignment folder. If the solution file is opened correctly, the Visual Studio application will automatically launch. Be sure that you are using the $2022$ version of Visual Studio to complete the assignments and milestones in this course. Issues may occur if you use a different version.

After opening the $2-2\_$Assignment project in Visual Studio $2022,$ try to build and run the project. If the project builds and runs successfully, the OpenGL window should display two four$-$sided pyramids side by side. If you do not see the image below, reach out to your instructor for help.

Black background with two identical white triangles. Each triangle has bottom corner cut off.

The above image shows two four$-$sided pyramids. The goal of this assignment is to change the transformation code in the SceneManager::RenderScene$()$ method for each pyramid to make the two pyramids match the following picture:

A white triangle inverted above another white triangle so their tips meet form an hourglass shape.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

Create code to address the required functionality. The code you add must meet the required functionality and visual representation outlined for this assignment. This result may require multiple attempts and strategies to get it right, but that is okay! Working in stages is an important part of any coding project.

Apply logic and proper syntax to code. Source code should be free of logical or syntax errors that prevent the application from running as expected. You will be given credit for code that is set up to meet specifications or solve the problem.

Apply commenting and formatting standards to facilitate understanding of the code. All code should be well commented. Commenting is a practiced art. Your comments should be as clear and brief as possible. Your comments should explain the purpose of lines or sections of the code. You may also include the method you used to achieve a specific task in the code. Be sure to document any sections of code that produce errors or incorrect results. Organize all code to meet formatting standards.
