This table lists the final projects of 22 out of 57 students how took this class in the fall semester of 2011.

The files were written with Matlab version R2011a. Unfortunately the standard Matlab movie commands such as avifile(), addframe(), movie(), result into AVI movie files of enormous size. That is why most codes saved the individual frames as PNG files that were later on combined into an animated GIF file using ImageMagic's convert utility. (convert -delay 10 frame*.png movie.gif) This resulted into movie files of reasonable size.
