Kotiki Engine

Kotiki Engine is an educational project for the "Computer Graphics" course. It simulates and illustrates the behavior of cats on a 2D plane.

Installation (Ubuntu)

Follow these steps to install and run Kotiki Engine:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ALanovaya/kotiki-engine.git
   cd kotiki-engine

2. Install dependencies:
   • Install boost

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install libboost-all-dev

   • Install Qt and OpenGL

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev

3. Build the project

   cmake -B build -S .
   cmake --build build

4. Run the application

   cd build/kotiki-engine
   ./kotiki-engine

Features

• There can be up to 50,000 cats on the map at the same time. User can set their number.
• Cats can try to start a fight, hiss and walk quietly, depending on the distance between them and the maximum distance at which they can start a fight (set by the user).
• Distance can be measured using various metrics - Euclidean, Manhattan, Chebyshev and their generalizations - the Minkowski metric.
• User can choose how the cats will move - either randomly or along a trajectory that can be specified by a parametric equation. The user must specify a parameter (let's say t) and describe the equations x(t), y(t). Otherwise, the trajectory will not be recognized.
• To determine the state of the cats, a grid lookup algorithm is used.
• It is possible to flexibly control the space and movement of the goths - change the size of the scene on which cats walk, change the step at which cats can move, and others.

Example
