Assignment for the Algorithms VT15P4 (21AL1B) course.

Implementation of the quickhull algorithm + Akl-Toussaint heuristic for realtime visualization (using OpenGL) and comparison of efficiency. Enjoy!

This was actually an assignment, hence the documentation and source code comments are in Swedish. If you're interested in a translation, drop me a message!

KEYS
----------------
Key    Effect

  a    Toggles Akl-Toussaint heuristic.
  b    Toggles black hole (gravity towards center).
  d    Toggles damping.
  f    Toggles sloped floor.
  g    Toggles gravity.
  h    Toggles hull rendering.
  l    Toggles hull lock (locks hull to its current point set).
  p    Toggles point rendering.
  q    Toggles between bruteforce and quickhull.
  r    Toggles rubber band mode (hull becomes a rubber band).
  w    Toggles wind.
  x    Randomizes point velocities.
  z    Randomizes point positions.
----------------

sudo apt -qqy install git lib-common-mesa libgl1-mesa-dev
git clone https://github.com/philiparvidsson/quickhull-algorithm.git
cd quickhull-algorithm/alg-quickhull
make

Open the solution in Microsoft Visual Studio and use it to build and run the program.

What follows is my proof for the assignment (using the master theorem) of quickhull having linear complexity for uniformly randomly distributed points:
