Coding Started

I've been working on a simple visual output class for debugging and testing. Simply put, it's an SDL and OpenGL wrapper with functions geared towards viewing the work being done. Hopefully it will eventually provide a simple interface for the user to interact with the app.

The code is available on SourceForge.

I'll be working next on providing a short how-to on getting started with the project. This info will be available on the project's wiki.

Need to make sure that this project is adhering to GPL licensing!

Formalizing Documentation

I've started formalizing the Virtual Cam documentation of the research and development. I'm going centralize all work on a wiki page. It will also serve as a date verification and give it a better web presence.

Over the winter break and interterm, I'm going to be working on a base for the project. The base will have a very basic API to load the image sequences and perform all the prepping. It will probably have a rudimentary visual output window so we can see "progress" and debug. More than likely, it will be written using SDL or OpenGL, as they are great cross-platform solutions that don't require much of a learning curve.

I will probably also start start saving the code to the SourceForge site.
