This spring, I had the pleasure of advising a Georgia Tech Computer Science capstone group. The capstone is a requirement for the degree that is meant to draw on all aspects of the students' experience in the program. Each project requires an advisor and a customer. In my case, I played both roles.
The project I came up with was one I've wanted to do for some time. I asked the five talented CS seniors (Edward Booth, Michael Cook, Justin Dobbs, Will Rowland, and Prince Yang) to modify the Stella Atari VCS emulator to better reproduce the visual effects of a CRT television of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
A sample appears below, but please take a look at this more detailed page on the project to see the results, which I think are fantastic.
