Labyrinth (OpenGL)

Project Description

Labyrinth was the final project for CS 480 - Computer Graphics at the University of Nevada - Reno. This project encompassed everything the class had learned throughout the semester working with OpenGL to create the classic game of Labyrinth. The objective is to guide a ball to a goal by tilting a game board and avoiding the holes.

Controls

• Move the mouse up/down and left/right to rotate the board about its axes. Be careful, as the movement is very sensitive.

• The score counts up over time until the ball reaches the ‘FINISH’ area. Thus a low score is preferable.

• Keys 1-3 toggle progressively harder lighting settings, ie. ‘difficulty’. Harder levels will make the score count up more slowly.

• Keys WASD rotate the camera around the ball. This can be done whether or not the game is paused.

• The mousewheel zooms the camera in and out.

• Hit ‘r’ to reset the game. A new game starts automatically when the ball falls off the board.

• Hit ‘p’ to pause/unpause the game.

• Hit ‘ESC’ to exit the program.

• These settings are also available through the right-click menu.

• Hit ‘v’ to toggle a useless pseudo first-person mode. This will help you empathize with the ball.
