Brief introduction
This is a simple game developed by OpenGL3.3. You control a snowball and drive it home, which means, you need to elude barriers to avoid dying and accumulate other snowballs to prolong your life. The snowball is always being melting! In other words, the radius of your snowball, which represents your life level, is always being decreasing. Merely elude barriers, or you will be dead immediately, and do not forget to accumulate snowballs at the same time. When seeing a house, you win the game.

Download
This project is tested on Linux and Windows platforms. Download the source files and compile them manually (make sure the dependencies mentioned above have been built). CMake is strongly recommended for you! See the official site of CMake to learn more details.
CMake: An open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to build, test and package software.
CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. https://cmake.org
Download CMake (choose the suitable version from the official site) and install it. Then use your CMake to compile source files. The executables will be generated into the bin/ directory.
Linux
Open the home directory of this poject in terminal. Create a new directory named build/ and build CMake files in this directory. Below is an example of how the game can be compiled on Linux.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
