This is research I did a while ago and presented Monday to fulfill the requirements of my Masters degree. The presentation only needed to be about 20 minutes, so it was a very short intro. We have moved on since then, so when I say future work, I really mean future work. The post is [...]

I attended some of the final presentations of an undergrad class on Game Programming today with a friend.
