Week One - Day Two

Today was a day in which I just focused on learning C++ and C# so that I could implement C++ code into C#. The program that they are using for the game design is called Unity and the EEG they are ordering is called the Emotiv EPOC headset. Using the website, https://emotiv.com/epoc/, I've learned that the Cognitiv Suite interprets the users thoughts and feelings which is what they wish to record so that what ever the player is thinking, will get translated into the game. A prototype game, a simpler game, is currently being produced so that the Emotiv EPOC can be tested once it comes in. My job was to find the Emotiv EPOC library and translate that code into the C# code that is required for Unity.

The Emotive EPOC software development kit will be used to access the programming of the headset and I must bind the code of C++ to C# so that both translates well. http://emotiv.com/developer/SDK/UserManual.pdf (page 43) introduces the Emotiv API and Emotiv EmoEngine which I need to look into more. 

C++ has been slightly different from JAVA which I have touched upon before. The print lines require (std: cout) but you could always just universalize std and using a namespace, (using namespace std;) and therefore, the std is not required for the rest of the program and only cout is required. (<<) means that the code to the right is being printed or displayed and (>>) allows storage of an integer or string to the variable on the left.
