experimental 3d multiplayer game framework using simple data layer 2 and opengl es3 in c++ 23

intention

multiplayer framework
- synchronized client input signals
- clients render at the rate of the slowest client
- server synchronizes clients signals
grid of cells that partition world space
- update and collision detection of objects
- multithreaded
game where most objects are visible on screen
- cull grid cells and objects to render within frustum (todo)
importing blender exported obj files
explore legacy opengl rendering
intuitive programming of game objects and logic
game code written in src/application/
collision detection (that is "good enough" for games)
- sphere vs sphere
- sphere vs convex volume
- convex volume vs convex volume
collision reaction
- sphere vs sphere
- sphere vs convex volume (todo)
- convex volume vs convex volume (todo)

using script (recommended): ./make.sh && ./glos
using cmake: mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && cd .. && build/glos

multiplayer enabled proof of concept
- threaded_grid must be false for deterministic behavior
shoot asteroids and pick up power ups for the gun
developed to test the framework
source in src/application/ and assets/
howto keys
- w: thrust
- a: rotate left
- d: rotate right
- j: fire
- k, l: cameras
- F1: print cells
- F2: collisions on/off (this will make clients out-of-sync)
- F3: render on/off
- F4: cycle through shaders
- F5: render normals on/off
- F6: render bounding spheres on/off
- F7: hud on/off
- F8: render grid cells on/off
