Additional info:
-Uses SDL and Opengl
-Move the goal with the arrow keys
Download:
Source
To compile:
-add files to a project and download SDL libraries
-add include directories of SDL in compiler options
-add lib/ directory of SDL in linker options
-link with SDL.lib SDLmain.lib opengl32.lib glu32.lib
-should compile successfully.
To run:
-copy the SDL.dll from lib/ directory to the same directory as the executable (Windows)
-SDL libraries should already be installed in Linux
-use arrow keys to move the box (initially at 0,0,0 world space)
Specifically, I am focusing on the following:
- Node (called "Entity") based scene management
- Mesh viewing and geometry viewing
- Bounding volume and bounding volume hierarchies
- Space partitions for managing physics
- Colliding entities and objects in real time
- Lua scripting to ease setup of worlds
Update: (November 11 2009)
Can do the following:
-Add meshes using Lua script and move the entity
-Meshes are loaded as an asset, so meshes are shared by entities
-Axis Aligned Box Bounding volume and Octree generation
-Added math, Vector, matrix, quaternion operations
-Set up physics and frame loop
-Will do Vertex buffer objects soon (may not be compatible with older machines)
I created a trac page called TBFramework to manage the project and host the source code.

I tested using Windows XP. The instructions are in the README.
The required libraries are
Lua5.1 - download the binaries
SDL 1.2
OpenGL. Use the MSDN version, if you choose.
Cut to the Chase Java game
First year assignment where we had to implement a paddle/ball game using the course's game engine. We had the option to do a custom games, so I did. I created the textures and the game logic. It's a clone of Chu-Chu Rocket, but you guide the scissors to "cut" the paper. I created the animation frames displayed on the right. I also uploaded a video on youtube.com. I can't distribute the framework, but I still have the Java code I wrote. Lots of sleepless nights.
First 3D game project: Blasteroid Belt
As a team of 2 in my first computer graphics course (3 years ago), me and my partner split up the code. He mostly did the mesh, texture, and asteroid behaviour. I did the Ship, interface, and the framework. The assignment required us to implement various items and the youtube video shows some of them. I also put in two camera modes as seen in the video. Written in C++ using Ubuntu Linux and GNU x86 compilers.
This was my first time implementing the game loop as well as managing the objects so it didn't run as fast on the laptop.
I can't distribute the math libraries and other utility code because the school owns them. That's why I am writing my own in ColDet.
