While both are interesting projects, material and/or shader objects would be of
greater value to users. The difficulty with either will be that they require
diving into complicated code written by others and understanding what’s going
on quickly.
If you haven’t be sure to check out projects with our partner orgs too.
Several are still seeking students and also have graphics projects in C that
might be of interest.
Cheers!
