This is not a specific project per se, but more so a suggestion on how to layout a simple C++ based project and an associated Makefile:

You're absolutely right, formal computational geometry is more biased towards exact algorithms and their associated complexities - specifically solving problems that more often than not have a geometric structure associated with them.

It is however fun from time to time to have some visual tangible results too otherwise things do get a bit dry.

@signa11 thanks for the note.

btw I've added a whole lot more examples since the last time, and I've also updated the library itself.

Thanks! - btw if you have any ideas for other examples please do let me know, I'm very eager to add more interesting yet also accessible examples.
I've reviewed some of the code from your port, and it seems like you've forgotten to carry the one in a few places.

Thank-you for that link. I will be updating the DB in the coming month and China is one of the countries to have updated entries.
Re:Color names and their wave lengths and frequencies on Saturday June 10, 2017 @12:27AM (#14526161)
@schoen You do make some very good points, the wave lengths in this list are based on the assumption of pure colour forms using Dan Bruton's Spectra approximation. http://www.physics.sfasu.edu/astro/color.html

Furthermore as you can see in the list composite colours such as white, gray and black have undefined values.

Re:Simple C++ Lexer Library on Friday June 09, 2017 @11:35PM (#14526036)
Spirit is a far more extensive library. It supports more than just lexing.

This library is much simpler without many of the features found in Spirit on the other hand it is faster in both compilation times and running times when lexing.
