terrain-whacamole

Graphics simulation of a terrain with an island with snowy peaks in a sea implemented using a height map. Part of Graphics assignment for Computer Graphics course at RIT, Bangalore.

To run the Simulation on linux:

Libraries to install: SOIL (Simple-OpenGL-Image-Library), FreeImage, CMAKE

Steps to install packages:

Open the ubuntu terminal and paste the following:

1. sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
2. sudo apt-get install libfreeimage-dev
3. sudo apt-get install libglew-dev
4. sudo apt-get install libsoil-dev
5. sudo apt-get install libpthread-stubs0-dev
6. sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev

To run main.cpp:

Open the ubuntu terminal, cd to the project directory and paste the following: g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o test -lSOIL -lGLEW -lglfw -lGL -lX11 -lXi -lXrandr -lXxf86vm -lXinerama -lXcursor -lrt -lm -pthread

Simulation Controls:

1. K,L keys to start/stop rotation.
2. Up,Down arrow keys to increase/decrease the height of terrain.
3. Left,Right arrow keys for zoom in/zoom out.
4. A,S keys to increase/decrease the amplitude of sea-waves.
