Progress!

Well, after midterms and some other tough schoolwork, we've finally made some progress on DroidViz.

Most notably, the vector fields are now rendering in fullscreen. In the fluidsolver project referenced earlier, the window's bottom corner is (1,1) and the top opposite corner is (0,0). For some reason, the default window size in GLES on the android is from -1 to 1, with (0,0) directly in the center of the window. After adjusting our calculations, we now have things rendering in fullscreen.

Most importantly, the code in svn now compiles and runs. We were running this code in a separate project hosted elsewhere until we could get our stuff together. I've just spent the last few hours cleaning up the Google Code SVN, formatting code, porting stuff, etc. Things are finally current on the SVN. Feel free to check it out if you want.

Most exciting, Google has just released the NDK, revision 3. With this release, we now have access to OpenGL ES 2.0, and with that - FRAGMENT AND VERTEX SHADERS. OMFG. We'll be able to make droidViz DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. We're pretty psyched here, so we'll be spending more time on development to get this out sooner than later.

Keep it real,
