MyGame

This is a flying simulation game. I get the sky box pictures from internet. Some base code from Jim's nest.

Goal

1. I want to make the camera class working properly. 2. I set up the camera using keybord and mouse. 3. realize two camera control: zoom in mode and normal mode.

Method

I made my camera class based on the quarternion. Then I tried to realize some thing like air simulation and first person shooting game camera. After that, I found out there's no much time left. So I made some simply modification to make a simple game using both of the camera mode.

Novelty

1. A lof of airplain simulation game is about shooting. My game is about catching and dodging. In this game, you doge the red balls and catch as many green balls as possible.

2. I had a zoom in camera mode. But it seems not very useful in this game.

Results

The result of the game seems to fullfill my goals. I mean ,technically speaking I made the camera class working. I made a skybox in which you can control your "air craft" to tralvel. But in term of a game, I'm not very pleased with this one. I found out to make a 3D game I still need to implement a lot of funtionalities, eg. collision detection, loading modeles..Anyway, this is the first step.
