Features

I would like to list my features in this game. The feature list is basically the Work Plan of this game.

Implemented

• Resize Support The display won't stretch if you stretch the window

• Moving Camera You can use W, A, S, D to move forward, left, backward, and right

• Turning Head You can use: ↑, ↓, ←, and → to turn your head to different directions

• Debug Screen You can press F3 to display data in the display.

• Turning moving directions The direction of head will decide the direction to move.

• Crosshair in the center of screen You can see a crosshair similar to Minecraft's in the screen.

Developing

• Turning head using mouse Your mouse is always centered after pressing M because I am attempting to implement this features.

Installation Guide

To build this game, you need to install the following packages first:

• FreeGLUT It's necessary because all my code relies on it. Make sure the option FREEGLUT_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is set to ON. To install it on Debian Linux, you may use the following command.

# apt-get update
# apt-get install freeglut3-dev

• CMake The building system I use because it supports building on different platforms.

Windows with MinGW

If you are using MinGW, you need to have mingw32-make installed. So type the following to build:

cmake . -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%PREFIX%
mingw32-make
mingw32-make install

Linux

You must have build-essential installed. Then type:

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX
make
make install
