Comets

Comets is an attempt at making a 3D game based on the 2D game 'Asteroids'.

Architecture

• Asteroids are simple 3D models, floating in space. They spawn at some distance from the player and loop around when far enough away from the player, to create a compact but "open" world. (This actually makes the world into a three-torus, which ironically is compact)

Plan:

It's working decently well now, but these are some possible points of improvement:

• Add realistic lighting to dust particles
• More precise ship-asteroid collision check
• Implement a proper sun (visual only, should be drawn out of accessible map)
• Add skybox
• Add local score saving
• Add shadows, especially from asteroids to dust

Libraries

Comets makes use of GLFW, OpenGL, cglm and glText.
