Transformations and spaces

This implementation applies transformation and coordinate-system concepts to create a 3D environment.

A smily face is created with boxes that rotate and change color over time.

The code follows examples outlined in:

• https://learnopengl.com/Getting-started/Transformations
• https://learnopengl.com/Getting-started/Coordinate-Systems
• https://learnopengl.com/Getting-started/Camera

Changes over example code

• Changed the positioning of the cubes in the world to form a clown face.
• The boxes rotate with time. Each box rotates at a different rate.
• The boxes are colored. A fading effect is used to fade between a color and black with time.
• Added the ability to move up and down.

Running the implementation

• Navigate the Solution Explorer to path:

  Solution -> 01.getting_started -> 07-09.transformations_and_spaces

• Left-click the project name and select Set as Startup Project from the pop-up window.

Movement

The movement key-bindings follow an FPS-style scheme:

• W move forward
• S move back
• A move left
• D move right
• Spacebar move up
• Left-Shift move down
• Mouse-movement look around the world.
