My pet project is a math library I wrote to replace my Computer Graphics' teacher's ad-hoc implementations of everything whenever she needed it. I've been working in this since July.

I wrote it as a series of C++ headers, but now that I'm on vacations (and therefore don't have anything to do), I will put all those classes in a DLL.

I have countless little pet projects, and many more on my to-do list. however I quickly get bored with one and go onto another - so in reality I just have many unfinished utilities!
