Arm Flipper Subzero 2020

Introduction

The goal of this project was to model a battle bot in OpenGL given a picture. The bot is interactive and can be controlled using keyboard keys. Applying simple geometric transformations, the bot can move forwards and backwards, turn and activate its weapon.

Installation

1. Clone repository
2. Ensure you have C++ and C libraries installed
3. Install OpenGL (instructins vary depending on your operating system)

• this part may be tricky, as you must ensure you have OpenGL, GLUT and GLEW frameworks

4. Navigate to the directory of the project and compile using the following command:

g++ ArmFlipper.cpp QuadMesh.cpp -o ArmFlipper -framework OpenGL -framework GLUT

Bot Controls

• f- move bot forwards
• b - move bot backwards
• ↑ - activate weapon
• ← - turn left
• → - turn right
• s - spin flag
• S - stop spinning flag
