This lab was created to build upon the dynamic memory reinforcement that was covered in the string lab. It also gets the student to investigate binary file formats that aren’t their own and understand how the data is stored. To complete the lab the student is tasked with reading in a .bmp file, strip the headers and utilize the information to read in the pixel data. Each pixel’s information is assigned to a separate quad that is created and stored in a 2 dimensional array.
