ProjetSynthese

This was my final project for my associate degree in Computer Science (December 2017), marking the completion of my first sixteen months of programming experience. It was written over four months with very limited prior knowledge of C or C++ (or Git).

The project is a fully playable first-person shooter (FPS) where the player competes against simple bots on randomly generated maps.

My personal objective was to use a limited set of libraries to gain a deep understanding of how everything works. I used GLFW to manage the window and handle the keyboard, GLAD to load OpenGL's functions, GLM for basic matrix and vector calculus, stb_image to load the textures, and FreeType to display text. This project was heavily influenced by https://learnopengl.com/.

Some shortcuts were taken to deliver a fully playable FPS on time. For example, there is no lighting, the maps are a bit square, and the bots have complete knowledge of the map. However, the physics engine does not depend on the squareness of the maps.

I am not the author of the textures. The credits can be found in source.txt.

The Web Assembly port is an addition from 2024.
