Submission

Read about the Honor Code

You are required to read our CSC4700 syllabus and the Honor Code before submitting assignments. Do this now before proceeding to the final step.

Submitting the Assignment

Once you’ve finished everything, you are ready to submit your work. You are submitting your assignment results as commits that have to be pushed to the github repository. The section about staging and committing changes in VSCode gives you a good introduction on how to do this.

Here is a list of things you’re expected to submit as part of this assignment:

  • Warmup
    • Answer the questions in results/answers.md
  • Performance
    • Answer the questions in results/answers.md
  • Exercises
    • Answer the questions in results/answers.md
  • Buddhabrot
    • Implement the function compute_mandelbrot() in mandelbrot.cpp
    • Implement the Buddhabrot fractal generation
      • Implement command line handling for image size, number of starting points, maximum number of iterations to perform for the Mandelbrot computation, and the file name of the produced image
    • Implement the normalize() helper function in buddhabrot.cpp
    • Implement the update_image_data() helper function in buddhabrot.cpp
    • Implement generating the actual images in buddhabrot.cpp
    • Implement the command line handling using getopt_long

    • Add the generated Buddhabrot images bb512.bmp and bb768.bmp for the following command lines as part of your submission:

      ./build/buddhabrot -s 512 -p 1000000 -i 1000 -o ../results/bb512.bmp 
./build/buddhabrot --size 768 --points 1000000 --iters 5000 --output ../results/bb768.bmp
    • Add verification of all command line arguments

Please also note, that once you push to your repository, Github will compile and run your code automatically. This will result in a green check mark being added to the home page of your repository, telling you that all tests have successfully passed. If you see a red cross instead, then one or more of the tests in your code have failed and you will have to debug your code. Simply commit and push again once you have fixed the problems.

There is also an introduction to Git available that describes the overall concepts and the use of Git from a command line. It also answers some frequently asked questions.

We have a Github tutorial you might want to have a look at as well.

Last but not least, you can have a look at this document if you are interested in knowing more about Github Classroom.

And that’s it! You’re done!
