splineRacer

IMAC semester 3 C++ and openGL 3 project. temple run clone but about a plane flying around a spline.

see demo video

Install project

mkdir splineRacer-build
cd splineRacer-build
cmake ../splineRacer
make
./src/SPLINERACER

Game engine features

• Analogic movement in spline-space : rotate around the spline - X-axis: radial angle, Y-axis: radial distance
• World-space spheric collisions
• transform animation of objects
• optimised render and physics - far away objects are not computed

Inspirations and references

Games inspirations

• Proun
• Tail Drift

References

• Catmull Rom spline reference
• ogldev opengl tutorials

Libraries used

• tinyObjLoader
• Json for modern c++
• SDL_mixer
• FreeType

Possible optimisations

• less collision detection: sort colliders in a octo-tree like hierarchy

Coding norms

• all variables must be in lowerCamelCase

int myVariable = 1;

• Class must have both pragma once and indef..define..endif
• Class names must be in UpperCamelCase
• Class members must be protected and have an underscore as prefix ("_")

#pragma once
#ifndef __MYCLASS__HPP
#define __MYCLASS__HPP

class MyClass {
	protected:
    int _myVariable = 1;
}
#endif

• Comments must be written in english as much as possible
• Don't forget to use Doxigen syntax when commenting your classes !
