TankSim

TankSim is a crappy tank simulator created using OpenGL 1.2+ with GLU and GLUT libraries.

Version

1.0.2 (now with Phong Shading!!)

Tech

TankSim uses a number of open source projects to get to where it is now:

• OpenGL - THE open graphics library
• GLU - OpenGL utility library for higher-level drawing routines
• GLUT - OpenGL utility toolkit for system-level I/O with the OS
• Blender - for creating those awesome tank meshes

Installation

Run the Xcode project. Make sure you've got Xcode 5+ installed.

Controls

Action	Result
"UP", "DOWN", "LEFT", "RIGHT"	controls the tank movement
"A", "D"	controls camera movement and turret movement
"Q", "E"	controls cannon movement
"F"	fires a round from the position of the cannon
"N"	switches between Spherical camera view and Tank view
"P"	activate Phong Shading
"O"	deactivate Phong Shading

Code Used

• Bitmap.h is a snippet of code form one of the examples in class
• In ObjMesh.cpp the function

void load_obj (string filename, ObjMesh **mesh)

is based on the function from the following link http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenGL_Programming/Modern_OpenGL_Tutorial_Load_OBJ. Some of the changes of that function is that we use our own VECTOR3D.h instead of the external library's, also we load texture coordinates while that fuction doesn't.

• In CityBuilder.cpp, the functions

void drawString(const char *str, int x, int y, float color[4], void *font)

and

void showInfo()

are taken from http://www.songho.ca/opengl/files/select.zip
