Challenge 4

Segregation and OpenGL

Segregation:

• Experiment to study the effect that different preference rules have on the geographic pattern of segregation.
• Experiment to study the effect of historic changes in preference rules on the geographic pattern of segregation.
• Invent some different rules and study their effects (several are commented out in the source code).
• What rules produce the most pronounced effects?
• Discuss the rules and the resulting patterns on your Webpage (illustrate with small 200x200 pixel screen shot blow ups).

OpenGL - Ring:

• Make your own bitmap images to wrap the objects (CLICC PhotoShop does not appear to work well for this).
• Remember that the application will look for 3 files, called red.bmp, blue.bmp and gold.bmp.
• Two examples are on our simulations page: grid.bmp (which should help you determine how the objects are wrapped) and rummy.bmp (a face).
• Place a screen shot of your decorated objects on your Webpage (make it 200 pixels high).
• Extra credit: Modify the code and hand in your executable and six project files on a floppy, with a cover sheet and source code on paper.
