Step 2:
Do your work in your /4490/1 folder.
Start with the framework at:
/home/fac/gordon/p/4490/code/lab1/game1.cpp
Name your program /4490/1/game1.cpp on Odin.
Follow along with Gordon to modify the program.
Google search topic: linux console kbhit cboard
1. Bring in the kbhit function from the sample code.
Look for post by itsme86.
This function lets you receive keyboard input without pressing Enter.
Just right for an action game.
2. Build the game functionality...
Your game will ask the user to press a key, and continue pressing
a key over and over.
Your program will display the average time-span between key presses,
in seconds.
The player's goal is to get a display of exactly 1.0 seconds, and
accomplish it in the fewest number of key-presses.
The difficulty increases as the goal is set closer to exactly 1.0 seconds.
Define a tolerance such as 0.05 or 0.001
You may input a tolerance from the command-line.
3. Show an introduction screen.
4. Show the game in-progress.
5. Show a game-over screen with score.
Step 3:
When we finish the console program, we will begin working with
a 3D graphics framework. We will review the program together,
then you will have a few specific tasks to complete as homework.
Please get a copy of the directory containing the second part of lab-1.
/home/fac/gordon/p/4490/code/lab1/fps/
Copy the files to your own 4490/1/fps/ Odin folder please.
It will produce the following scene.
Your job is to give a user the ability to move the camera
in a first-person perspective. Move the camera through the tube.
Current keyboard controls:
movement key
------------ ---------
move up up arrow
move down down arrow
move left left arrow
move right right arrow
move forward f
move back b
You may change the controls and even incorporate mouse control.
Your goal is the following camera control...
1. Look to the left or right
2. Look up or down
3. Move up or down
4. Move in the direction the camera is looking (forward or back)
5. Move left/right in relation to where the camera is looking
We will discuss this in class and do some of the work together
on the big-screen.
You can create a camera class such as
class Camera {
Vec position;
Vec direction;
Camera() {
VecMake(0, 1, 8, position);
VecMake(0, 0, -1, direction);
}
void translate(float x, float y, float z) {
position[0] += x;
position[1] += y;
position[2] += z;
}
void lookLeftRight(float angle) {
Matrix mat;
identity33(mat);
Vec rot = {0.0, angle, 0.0};
yy_transform(rot, mat);
trans_vector(mat, direction, direction);
}
void lookUpDown(float angle) {
Matrix mat;
identity33(mat);
Vec rot = {angle, 0.0, 0.0};
yy_transform(rot, mat);
trans_vector(mat, direction, direction);
}
void moveLeftRight(float dist) {
//get perpendicular vector to direction/up
Vec left;
VecCross(direction, up, left);
position[0] += left[0] * dist;
position[1] += left[1] * dist;
position[2] += left[2] * dist;
}
void moveUpDown(float dist) {
//just move straight up or down
position[1] += dist;
}
};
Try to get freedom of movement similar to this...
Code needed:
To accomplish the look-up and look-down (pitch) camera control, you will need
the following code segment.
The following function builds a rotation matrix, but it will rotate on any
axis given, not just x,y,z axis. Indicate an axis using a vector.
Example:
X axis is { 1, 0, 0 }
Y axis is { 0, 1, 0 }
Z axis is { 0, 0, 1 }
Then use the matrix created to transform the camera direction using trans_vector.
This function was used in the animation to tilt the camera downward.
void matrixFromAxisAngle(const Vec v, Flt ang, Matrix m)
{
// arguments
// v = vector indicating the axis
// ang = amount of rotation
// m = matrix to be updated
// This source was used during research...
// http://www.euclideanspace.com/maths/geometry/rotations/conversions/angleToMatrix/
//
struct Axisangle {
Flt angle;
Flt x,y,z;
} a1;
a1.x = v[0];
a1.y = v[1];
a1.z = v[2];
a1.angle = ang;
//
Flt c = cos(a1.angle);
Flt s = sin(a1.angle);
Flt t = 1.0 - c;
m[0][0] = c + a1.x * a1.x * t;
m[1][1] = c + a1.y * a1.y * t;
m[2][2] = c + a1.z * a1.z * t;
//
Flt tmp1 = a1.x * a1.y * t;
Flt tmp2 = a1.z * s;
m[1][0] = tmp1 + tmp2;
m[0][1] = tmp1 - tmp2;
//
tmp1 = a1.x * a1.z * t;
tmp2 = a1.y * s;
m[2][0] = tmp1 - tmp2;
m[0][2] = tmp1 + tmp2;
tmp1 = a1.y * a1.z * t;
tmp2 = a1.x * s;
m[2][1] = tmp1 + tmp2;
m[1][2] = tmp1 - tmp2;
}
