    if (shaderProgram) shaderInit = true;

after the "if (error){ }" near the end of the file

An updated version will be made available soon can be downloaded from the project page. >>

For Project 3, we're doing live demos to see your project (and grade it)! We'll be holding the demos Monday, November 23rd (the week after next) from 11am-1pm and 4:30pm-5:30pm. Please sign up for a fifteen minute slot on the sign-up sheet outside Natasha's office (5385). We're doing this on a first-come first-served basis, but I'll also bring the sheet in to class on Monday. If you are _really_ time-constrained on the project demo day and have very few timeslots that work, you can email me and we'll fit you in. >>
