I have turned to the darkside, I have succumbed to the evil that is 3D!!! Behold my fall into darkness!!!

Heh...all joking aside, the above program is the result of an assignment from my computer graphics class...My "Minotaur" here was created purely with opengl primitive functions (with a few from the GLUT library), no fancy-schmancy modeling tools - no sir...

Enjoy...

P.S. Do yourselves a favor and read the "README" file included in the zip...preferably before actually running the program...

I like it, and I think you deserve a high mark on your Computer Graphics assignment. :-)

I've followed Computer Graphics both in Netherlands and Ireland. Here's screenshots of the respective final assignments I did then:

The Pacman wasn't fully functional yet, and I didn't feel like finishing it afterwards, heh.

Nice...be even nicer if you could provide some binaries :). Did you compile those on a WIN32 or Unix platform? If you have any WIN32 binaries would you mind posting them, I'd like to have a look see...

I've downloaded the source but I haven't gotten around to compiling them yet...I have this to say though, you code looks very neat and structured compared to mine. I've been known to give my professors a scare with my klunky code..Heh.

Bjørn's code is always neat and structured. I think "Bjørn" is actually several people working on a team.

Or rather, it was until Bjorn devoured all their souls :)

Or maybe, he just have splitted personalities just like me. When one gets tired another one takes over. Very nifty :).

I got 'fractland' to compile and I really liked what I saw. It was pretty cool to be able to change the level of detail of the scene (even if it slowed my machine to a crawl :) ). Now I have to pick apart the code to see how it works (and read up on how fractals work all over again)...

Aside:
Heh.. it's kind of funny how a simple comment about clean and tight code can spawn such 'riveting' discussion ;).

Ah, well thanks about the compliments about my code, heh. Sure I do try to keep things readable and understandable, and worry about consistency to the level of irritating all but the most hardened team members. Contrary to popular belief, I am not a team. ;-)

Actually, I think I am making a rather slacking impression here as lately I've only been updating this board. Any other work on the site or the competition has crawled to a halt, because I am busy with other things without a clone that can help me with RPGDX. I really hope I will resolve this and set my priorities straight in time for the competition.
