This is a simple implementation of the Asteroids game using OpenGL and GLUT. The game involves controlling a spaceship to shoot down incoming asteroids while avoiding collisions. This game was inspired by old-schoold game Asteroids, you can find web-browser implementation here.
Technologies used:
- C++
- OpenGL (GLUT)
The game includes the following features:
- Moving the spaceship left and right using the arrow keys.
- Shooting projectiles by pressing the spacebar.
- Generating random asteroids with varying shapes and sizes.
- Detecting collisions between the spaceship and asteroids, resulting in game over.
- Detecting collisions between projectiles and asteroids, awarding points for successful hits.
- Tracking health and score, displayed in the game window title.
The application utilizes the following threads and mutexes:
ship_move_thread: A thread that handles the movement of the spaceship based on user input.asteroids_thread: A thread responsible for updating the positions of the asteroids.shots_thread: A thread responsible for updating the positions of the projectiles.asteroids_generator_thread: A thread that generates new random asteroids.asteroids_mtx: A mutex used to protect the access to the list of asteroids.shots_mtx: A mutex used to protect the access to the list of projectiles.ship_pos_mtx: A mutex used to protect the access to the spaceship's position.
To build and run the Asteroids game, perform the following steps:
- Install OpenGL and GLUT libraries.
- Compile the source code using a C++ compiler with support for C++11 or later.
- Execute the compiled binary to start the game.
Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed and configured correctly before attempting to build and run the game.
The Asteroids game relies on the following dependencies:
- OpenGL
- GLUT
Make sure to have these libraries installed and available in your system.
