How to install an example of nanogui.

1. Go to the repo on GitHub: https://github.com/wjakob/nanogui

2. Find a good place on your machine to install nanogui.

3. Clone the repo with --recursive tag:

4. Use cmake to create a make file (Windows might have other directions - look at documentation).

   cd nanogui
   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   

   What just happened? You created a directory in which to build. You called cmake on the nanogui directory, which will create a makefile.

5. Call the makefile to build the examples: make

6. Run example1: ./example1. There are 4 examples.

7. Explore the source code for the example which can be found at cd ../src.

How to check Google Style Compliance on a file.

Google Style Guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html cpplint: https://github.com/google/styleguide/tree/gh-pages/cpplint

1. Obtain cpplint (this is a python script, so if you don't have Python, you have to start there: python.org).

2. With Python3 installed, you should be able to get cpplint with: pip3 install cpplint

3. Now run a file through the checker: cpplint <filename>

4. Follow the style guide and the comments to get to no errors.

Practice Google Style Compliance

Try to get the Visitor Pattern example to comply or the Duck example from lab03. I wouldn't try it on the in-class polymorphism duck example, as that is so far from compliance, it would require a restructuring of the files.
