About the game

The purpose of this project is to create a city builder/resource management game with as many gaming graphical features as possible in pure OpenGL.

The scenario of this game is that the player is managing a space colonization program on the surface of another planet, whose main goal is to collect and utilize the resource in order to survive and extend the base of colonization.

Features

• Time-based skybox/lighting
• Shadow mapping
• Distance fog (GLSL shader)
• UV texture mapping
• GameObject, texture, sound, model and game balance definition files are under GameData/ folder
• UI overlay (orthogonal projection)
• Mouseover overlay
• Buildings auto connection
• MVC pattern
• Async event handling
• Save/load game state

Note

• Shadow mapping is not working on Mac OS
• Game is not balanced yet, but everything can be modified in GameData/ folder

Environment/Requirement

• Linux: stable
• Mac: unstable, WIP, no shadow mapping

Build/Compile

$ premake4
$ make clean
$ make
$ ./run

Libraries/Credits

• Assimp
  • Loading various formats of 3D model files
• irrKlang
  • Basic sound engine library(no source, dynamically linked)

KeyBind

• F9
  • Toggle in game Overlay
• Mouse
  • Left click to select a type of building, then left click to place it on the grid
  • Mouse over a building on the Overlay shows the needed resource to build it
  • Mouse over an existing building on the grid shows the running resource of it
