• Set the previously created wchar_t variable to an empty string (Line 48)
• Call the populateLightingList(hwnd) function in populateUserDialog (Line 88)
• Create the void populateLightingList(void*) function (Line 150-161)
• Retrieve the selected algorithm and set its index into GF_DF_ALGO (Line 581-585)
• Store the lighting description inside of the wchar_t variable (Line 594)

iObject.h

• Declare the LightAlgorithm enum (Line 26)
• Declare the get and set functions for the input variables, remove the parameter from power() (Line 43-50)

• Add a float variable for roughness (Line 42)
• Add a float variable for index of refraction (Line 43)

• Add a static iContext* variable under the protected list of variables (Line 58)
• Add the void hasContext(iContext* c) function to the Object class (Line 67)
• Remove the static iContext* variables from the derived classes (Line 138, 174, 196, 214)
• Define the get and set functions (Line 78-85)

Object.cpp

• Set the iContext* variable to NULL (Line 37)
• Remove the iContext* variables from the derived classes (Line 389, 475, 552, 572)
• Set the default values for shine, roughness and index (Line 65-67)
• Call the setAlgorithm function, passing in the value of GF_DF_ALGO (Line 69)
• Remove the code that initializes the shine variable's subsets, as it is no longer an array (Line 72-75)
• Set roughness and index variables to NULL (Line 113-114)
• Remove the conditional statement that deletes a shine array (Line 134-137)
• Set the input variables and algorithm to the values from the object being copied (Line 152-154, 156)
• Remove the code that instantiates shine as a new array (Line 168-172)
• Remove the code that destroys the shine array (Line 282-283)

Scene.cpp

• Pass the context to the Object class, and remove the code that passes the context to derived classes (Line 47-50)

Graphic.h

• Add the handles to the algorithm, roughness and refraction variables (Line 58-60, 131-133)
• Change the power variable in SubdividedGraphic from a FLOAT* to a FLOAT

Graphic.cpp

• Remove the parameter from the power() function (Line 112, 343)
• Get the addresses to the shader variables for the new handles (Line 121-123, 353-355)
• Set the values of the shader variables (Line 166-168, 398-400)
• Remove the code that initializes the power variable to an array (Line 243)
• Remove the code that deletes the power array (Line 295-296)
• Set the power variable to the src object's power value (Line 300)
• Remove the code that sets an array of powers (Line 305)
• Remove the index from the power variable (Line 397)
• Remove the code that deletes a power array (Line 448-449)

Design.cpp

• Add the Lighting Documentation comments (Line 28-113)

effects.fx

• Overwrite the effects.fx file (take care to note that the effects.fx file is written with Solution 28 in mind, it may need modification if your solution does not support texture stages)

Dialog.rc

• Add a drop down list box with ID IDC_LIT

WindowSettings.h

• Define a macro IDC_LIT with the next available ID number

************************ Lighting Documentation v1.02 ************************
* Lighting with the programmable graphics pipeline currently requires the use of
* the effects framework and works on the object level. This means the algorithm
* with which you wish to illuminate your object will work on the entire object, not
* a subset of that object. The inputs for the algorithm also work on the object level,
* meaning all subsets will use the same values.
*
* To avoid bloating the object class, three variables will be used across the various
* algorithms in different ways. It is very important to note that an algorithm may not
* necessarily use all three variables in its calculations. Also, each algorithm may
* accept different ranges of values from each of the variables it does use. The
* lighting algorithms available for use in the framework are described below:
*
* Functions
* ---------
* power(), setPower(float)
* getRoughness(), setRoughness(float)
* getIndexOfRefraction, setIndexOfRefraction(float)
* getAlgorithm(), setAlgorithm(LightAlgorithm)
*
* Inputs for setAlgorithm()
* PHONG
* BLINN_PHONG
* COOK_TORRANCE
* OREN_NAYAR
* WARD_ANISO
* ASH_SHIRLEY
