ISE 108 is CANCELLED Wednesday, 11/4
Sorry for the late notice, but I need to cancel tomorrow's ISE 108 class. We'll reconvene on Monday with an in-class review session for Midterm 2. Images and image transformations will have to wait until the following Monday, after the exam.
A practice midterm exam will be posted Wednesday night, along with Homework 3 and all of the sample code from class to date.
REMINDER: Midterm 2 is scheduled for Wednesday, 11/11
Midterm 2 will be held in class on Wednesday, November 11. The exam will cover all of the material that we discussed in class since Midterm 1 (plus some of the older topics, for review purposes). A review session will be held in class on Monday, 11/9. The Stony Brook Computing Society (SBCS) will also hold a review session for the exam (time and date TBA). Practice exams and detailed exam information will be posted ASAP.
Classes and Arrays; "Chutes and Ladders" case study
Sample code for the current version of the "Chutes and Ladders" case study has (finally) been posted on the Slides page. I hope to complete this small- to medium-scale program by the end of Wednesday's class. In the meantime, I am still working to create a simplified version of my other classes' slides for objects, classes, and arrays; for the moment, please read chapters 7 and 8 in the textbook for a basic discussion of these concepts.
