Assignment 4 - Squirrel

Completed 10/30/2003.

Project Overview

RPI is plagued by squirrels, so I saw it fit to contribute my own.

This project is a third person view of a squirrel that can "scamper" around outside in between the trees. Its tail moves around a lot sort of like a real squirrel's.

A bird soars overhead.

The camera follows the squirrel's position naturally.

Keyboard Controls

• Up/Down? = Move the squirrel forward, backward.
• Left/Right? = Turn the squirrel left/right.

Files

• README - This
• Makefile - 'make' to build
• assignment4 - linux executable
• assignment4.exe - win32 executable
• screenshot.png - screenshot
• main.cpp - program entry point, callbacks, and most glut-work
• objects.cpp - drawing non-primitive shapes in OpenGL, mainly
• objects.h - declarations
• squirrel.h - a Squirrel class
• squirrel.cpp - all of the work to draw the squirrel

Note: I'm more interested in the math and physics than the art in this type of project. Can you tell?
