DP Me Mil Gaya P

Lights - Camera - Action


Hours n hours n hours....working all day n nite...I cud easily talk in OpenGL..
glutFCchale()..........glDinner?()......gluSubhaUthaDiyo()....

Somehow we managed to code...not what we had in mind at the start of project...but a fairly satisfactory model...

FLASHBACK

Hum chaar log the...
1.) Aatish (tension free chap)
2.) Ved (ek dum se gamer ban gaya)
3.) Tushar (Mr.Unpredictable)
4.) Me (Is poore blog me meri hi baatein hoti hai...so u knw who I m)

It was the time to choose our Design Project (DP) under some Professor...
We chose to make A GAME (POOL)...

Humne socha tha phod denge...mast game banayenge
APNI LAG GAYI !!!

Days n days n days passed....2 sem project ka 1 sem khatam ho gaya...we decided 2 stayback in December Holidays...and work on the DP....hum yaha ruke zaroor...par Dp ko chorr ke sab cheeze ki...

As compared to the time that was already gone...the progress of the project was not upto the mark...

JAVA 3D me shuru kiya tha kaam....kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha...sab kuch sir ke uppar....Shyaaaaauuuuu Shyauuuuu...

Sab soch me pad gaye...ab kya kare...fir Ved ko Idea aaya....kyo na Java3D chorr ke Applets try kare....wo bhi kiya...but all in vain...

It was then when I approached Mr.DK (my Bakk Idol...mentioned in a post below 2) as 2 wat 2 do...he was coding a game in OpenGl at dat time...and adviced me 2 use it...

Yahi the woh SHAKS....jinhone mujhe yeh rah dikhayi...rah dikhane ke saath saath...NEHE aur apne PROFESSOR ke LEcture FOlders jaisi jagaho ke HELPLINE NUMBERS bhi diye...

Par 1 problem thi...OpenGL as explained on the HELPLINES was using VISUAL C++...apne 2 pantar logo ki usme lagti thi...Aatish aur Ved ki...
To make matters worse...in yet another meeting with the Professor v told him v were switching 2 something else now....

Somedays later a friend told me that in the list of students working under our PROF our names were not included on his WEBSITE...

Aatish : Abeyyyy ye kya ho gaya...aur kyo...

I went to the Prof...it was nothing but he forgot 2 include r names..he said he wud correct it..
Since no 1 was working I thought yahi mauka hai...I lied ki PROF said our names were not thr coz we wer not working sincerely...Aatish ki yeh sun ke lag gayi thi...Tushar guessed ki I was lying but din tell Aatish about it...aur Ved bhaisaahab ke saath hamara sampark nahi ho paata tha...

After 2 days I spilled out the truth and asked him 2 studyyyyyy :@...
Somehow we read something about OpenGL...par door door takk MANZIL dikhayi nahi de rahi thi...SAMAY BEET-TA gaya....aur ek din.....
.
.
.
aur ek din MAIL aayi...DP shud b submitted by 29th April...

BAS ab aa gaya tha woh time...TABAD TOD TABAD TOD...padna shuru kiya...went 2 c the prof..b4 we cud say anything he asked if we were thr 2 take I grade (Incomplete) or submitting the project...we said submitting...he asked us 2 come on Monday..

Monday was not far away...we went to him on Thursday (wen I posted COUNTDOWN BEGINS)...3 days left...and I also had my STS Viva..

Comes in a new character : Mr.Abhishek Khurana

Dk sir ne bataya ki he was a BOND in OpenGL...we approached him...he helped us...cleared our doubts...helped us...helped us and heped us...

Tushar was there with his obviously UNPREDICTABLE DECISION.."I grade le lete hai yaar...next sem me kar lenge...Time nahi yaar Prateek...finals ke liye bhi padna hai.."

NO COMMENTS ON WHAT ME n AATISH FELT ABOUT THIS STATEMENT FROM TUSHAR (I consider the reader to be intelligent enuff)..

Ved was working on calculations, collisions n stuff...Me n Aatish on animation and Tushar on everything else except DP...sad enuff but true..though he had read some basic OpenGL from the book earlier...

Hours n hours n hours....working all day n nite...I cud easily talk in OpenGL..
glutFCchale()..........glDinner?()......gluSubhaUthaDiyo()....

Somehow we managed to code...not what we had in mind at the start of project...but a fairly satisfactory model...

It was Monday...we had to submit the project at 5:00 PM...
At 4:30 I sat on my computer...was about to transfer the codes on a PEN DRIVE...ki POWER CUT....and MY UPS down...v faced all sorts of problems and got thru it(problems not mentioned...coz baaki problems ke saamne kuch bhi nahi thi)...

5:15 PM...we presented our project to the Professor...some questions thrown on us...we answered...some more questions...some more answers...nd then he decided that all of us will get P...

Wat a great feeling it was....smiling faces...aaahaaa...yooooo...we were jumping, smiling..njoying as soon as we came out of Professor's office...I wished ki thr was an aircraft passing just over my head...and 4 of us cud perform that RDB scene...wid shirts off and jumping 2 touch the aircraft...
.
.

but
.
.

ya rite AIRCRAFT ki problem to thi hi...but Mr.Tushar went straight to the RC..and only 3 of us were left...ANYWAYS I M 2 EXCITED...very happy..finally v did it...now its time 2 study 4 finals...
