Description

This is the final project for comp175 (graphics) by Jayme Woogerd and Louis Rassaby.

References

• We had help from Mike Shah in the debugging.
• We used the tutorial at opengl-tutorial.org for reference on instancing and for methodology. The following files were borrowed and modified from the resources of the site: colorparticle.vert, shader.cpp, shader.h, texture.cpp, texture.hpp.

Compilation instructions

The following graphics dependencies are necessary:

• freeglut (openGL)
• glui
• glm (math library)
• glew

Also, you need a graphics card and openGL version that supports instancing -- about half of machines have it. The binary will complain when run if it is not the right type.
