Website and Exercises

The websites http://www.mi.auckland.ac.nz/books/HKS/ and http://www.wiley.com/go/ hkspanoramic accompany this book. Each chapter in the book ends with a few exercises. The website may be found useful when solving those exercises.

Some of the exercises are labeled as being possible lab projects (say, assignments in a course). There is example source code available on the site. (Just download the zip file numbered as the corresponding exercise.) Example source code needs typically some visualization or window management, and therefore it uses some common platform libraries (e.g., Microsoft Foundation Class, DirectX, OpenGL, Windows GDI, etc.). Those have to be adapted to the used platform. In principle, the source code for most of the exercises is edited and compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, without using a special platform library.

Solutions to exercises, which are simple console programs, should be compilable with your own favorite developer environment. Readers who are using Microsoft Visual C++ .NET just load the project file with the extension *.vcproj. If you are using a different developer environment make sure that you load all *.cpp and *.h files as sources into your project. Additionally, link external libraries (e.g., glut.lib) as documented in your developer environment. Solutions to exercises, which need those external libraries, also contain a separate readme file where these external libraries are listed. Make sure that you are downloading ...
