Abstract

Design, develop and implement a real-time flight simulation to pilot a spacecraft to the centre of a space station, navigating along narrow corridors, avoiding missiles and deactivating barriers that will obstruct the player's route. At the centre of the station is the reactor core and the mission is to destroy the reactor and escape from the station before it explodes.

Technologies & Techniques

• C++ programming language
• OpenGL
• GLSL
• Particle System
• Quaternion Matrix

Game Features

• Quaternion rotation for self implemented view matrix
• Particle effects for explosion, smoke
• Timer controled flashing effects, object activatio
• Shader program and math formula to achive transparency and moving texture which are applied to different force fields
• Cinematic rendering using sequence checking
