Again bit of a slow week. Gave the TOEFL exam on Saturday – not too happy about the speaking section – results should be out in a week.
Coding Competitions
- Facebook Hackercup Round 1 – Needed 24 points to qualify, and just got enough. Spent a lot of time thinking about the C question. I suspect the solution has something to do with HLD decomposition – need to think about it a bit more and upsolve it.
- Educational Codeforces Round 113 (Rated for Div. 2): Solved 4 questions – getting the code for D took me a few tries. Haven’t looked at E – need to upsolve that.
Graphics
Continued working on the ray tracer. Partially implemented textures and infinite planes. I’ve only added a checkered texture, but will look into image mapping this week. Here are a few renders:
Drawing
Did a few small pencil shading drawings. Continued with practicing gesture.
