Project Proposals

This will be a proposal for your final project. This project can
tackle, literally, anything in the scope of computer graphics. Some
ideas might be: a particle engine, a 3D space fighter, a variety of
simple games, ray tracing, and more. The proposal includes a written
component and a presentation where you demonstrate your idea to myself
and your classmates. The following describes the requirements for the
written component.

Written Format:

Double-spaced. 12 pt font. 1" margins. ~500 words total.


Requirements:

1. Your proposal should have an introduction. In the introduction you
should clearly state the goal of your project and what you expect to
be the final product of your work. Don't simply state the final goal,
but go into detail about the experience users will have while using
the system. For example, don't simply say "I'm writing a particle
engine" but rather discuss the specific pieces you'll need to
implement to make this happen. Discuss buttons and functionality that
users will interact with and use in the process of using your system.

2. Include an itemized list of elements and problems (at least four)
that must be used and solved by your system to make it
worthwhile. Explain the elements and how you are going to use them or
the problem and how you plan to tackle it and solve it. Where
possible, give two viable options for the proposed solutions to any
problems and give alternatives to each element. When listing options,
choose why you think one option is superior to another.

3. Explain why each of the elements and problems you listed above is
important to the final goal of the product. Rate and rank these in
order of importance. Explain in detail why some products were ranked
above others.

4. Make a prediction on how long you believe each piece will take to
complete. Include both research, coding and debugging time for each
component.
