Project 3/4/5: 3D Space Station

• Part One
  • Using glut primitive objects create a space station scene.
  • Use simple transformations (scale,rotate,translate) to animate robots and spaceships within your station.
  • Render using wireframe
• Part Two
  • Use gluLookAt to create new camera angles. Add a keyboard call back to change the camera view.
  • Allow the user to move through the world by using the mouse to look in different directions and the keyboard to move and strafe.
• Part Three
  • Make objects solid and assign material properties to them
  • Add lighting: a stationary light, a moving light on one of the spaceships, and a flashlight on the camera.
• Project files
  • Windows Executable: space.exe
  • Main program with OpenGL callbacks: space.c
  • Object definitions file: objects.c
  • Material and lighting definitions: materials.c

Project 2: 2D Paint Program

• Requirements:
  • Create a drawing program to allow the user to draw an number of shapes on the screen, move the shapes around and change the colors of the shapes.
  • Use the keyboard callback in OpenGL to create shapes when the user presses a key such as 'T' for triangle.
  • Use the mouse callback and the mouse motion callback to allow the user to move the shapes around on the screen and change their colors.
  • Use a structures in C to create a data structure (possibly a linked list) and shape structures.
• Here are the files for my program:
  • Windows executable: paintProj.exe
  • Main program with OpenGL callbacks: paint.c
  • Linked list and shape structures: shape.c

Project 1: Animation

• Requirements:
  • Create a simple, but interesting 2D animation using OpenGL
• Fruit Flies
  • 100 Flies and an apple
  • The flies chase after the apple in a random fashion
  • You can click and drag the apple to different locations
  • You can click to distract the flies from the apple
• Here are the files for my program:
  • Windows executable: filesProj.exe
  • Main program: flies.c
