Description
• See Piazza for due date and time o Grading the next day • Submit program to perforce in your student directory o Sub directory called: /PA8/… o Fill out your PA8 Submission Report.pdf Place it in the same directory as your solution Enter the final Changelist number of your submission Write up a quick discussion in the report • What you learned from this assignment so far
• Learn o File Basics fopen, fread, fclose, fseek, (hopefully it’s a review) o Load a dynamic memory in-place file for fast reload and run
Section 1: Create your contiguous memory • Create your contiguous memory footprint • Needs to be: o in one contiguous memory footprint o offsets instead of pointers o See sample print out • append to existing output file
Section 2: Write Contiguous memory footprint to a new binary file (No credit- if Section 1 isn’t 100% complete) • Write Contiguous memory footprint to a new binary file o add any extra data necessary for pointer fix-up • Load this data from a binary file into ONE memory block o perform pointer fix-up • print the linked list data o your pointers will be pointing to address within block o data will be the same as before, everything has to come from binary file o append to existing output file
Game Optimization Programming Assignment 1
Optimized C++ PA -8 Fall 2015 Keenan
General: • Write all programs in cross-platform C or C++. o Optimize for execution speed and robustness. • Create a programming file for each problem, for example o Student directory /PA8/… o Make sure that each problem can be compiled and run through the checked in solution • Do all your work by yourself o Feel free to talk with others about setup, version control, ideas o But do not copy your friend’s code. Please don’t – I can tell with my difference tools o Feel free to share ideas • Check in the problems multiple times, at least 3 times per problem o Have reasonable check-in comments o Seriously, I’m checking • Make sure that your program compiles and runs o Warning level 4, some times that is not possible due to MS headers… o Your code should be squeaky clean. • We are using Perforce o You should have received the document describing how to login. Please look at the documentation and videos under the reference directory o Submit program to perforce in your student directory Sub directory called: /PA8/… • As described above o All your code must compile from perforce with no modifications. Otherwise it’s a 0, no exceptions
Simple check list to make sure that everything is checked in correctly • Did you do all Section 1? • Do they compile and run without any errors? • Warning level 4 free (or as close as you can go)? • Submitted it into /PA8 directory? • Can you delete you local drive, regrab the /PA8 directory? o Is all the code there, Does it compile? • Did you check in your text files?
Game Optimization Programming Assignment 2
Optimized C++ PA -8 Fall 2015 Keenan
Most assignments will have hints in a section like this. • Practice your file system stuff • Create several example solutions with different file patterns – fopen, fread, fwrite • Make sure your are using the binary operation and not the text mode. o ‘wt’ – write text o ‘wb’ – write binary o Same for read • Look up file read / write examples from the internet or out of the book o I like the fopen, fwrite way of doing stuff as opposed to the streams. o Either way works, see what is easier for you. • Use the FORUMs o This is much harder than the last assignment. o See me during office hours. o Read, explore, ask questions in class
