The goal of this homework is to practice line clipping and become familiar with how transformations work in OpenGL to create animations.

Part I: Line Clipping (5 pts)

Instructions here: hw4.pdf. You can hand this part in on paper or on Moodle.

Part II: OpenGL 2D Animations (10 pts)

For this part, we will be building upon Lab 6 to create a shape and make it move in a figure eight.

1. Download hw4.py (minor changes from Lab 6). Replace the current white square in the "my_shape()" method with a shape of your choice, but it must use either GL_QUAD_STRIP, GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, or GL_TRIANGLE_FAN.
2. Use glColor to make some of the vertices different colors to achieve the color-blending we saw in Lab 6.

3. Add transformation matrices to the matrix stack to make your shape move in a figure eight. We'll use the same transformations as in Homework 3, but now we don't need to define matrices! Use at least 2 of the following transformations:
   • Rotate

      glRotate(angle,x,y,z) 

     where the angle is in degrees and (x,y,z) denotes the vector around which to rotate.
   • Translate

      glTranslate(tx,ty,tz) 

     where tx, ty, and tz are the amount to move in each direction.
   • Scale

      glScale(ax,ay,az) 

     were ax ,ay, and az are the scaling factors in each dimension.
4. Save your code and submit it online on Moodle. If there is anything special I need to do to run your animation (commandline options, etc), put notes about it that will show up if I run:

    python hw4.py 

COLLABORATION:

For this assignment, you are welcome to work together, but everyone should turn in their own math/code that they have written and understood. Please cite anyone you worked with at the top of your assignment.

EXTRA CREDIT OPTIONS:

• Give your shape some static (i.e. not moving) context. Example: a bee flying around a flower. (+1)
• Make a second shape that is moving in a different way as the first shape. (+2)
