My final project for the course TDT4230 Graphics and Visualization at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The project is based on gloom, but stripped down a bit to provide minimal size.

• CMake (3.0+)
• OpenGL (4.5+)

Simply clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/TheVaffel/reflective-sphere

The following will (hopefully) suffice to compile the project:

# Enter the repository
cd reflective-sphere

# Make a build folder
mkdir build

# Enter build folder
cd build

# Generate UNIX Makefile (point CMake to CMakeLists.txt)
cmake ..

# Execute make command
make

# Run executable
./gloom/gloom

Specific generators can also be specified with CMake if you want to create workspaces for an IDE, for example:

cmake -G "CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles"

(This is part of the gloom README, and I have not tested this last step)

1. Set the source code file to the root directory containing CMakeLists.txt
2. Binaries can be built in the directory of your choice, e.g. reflective-sphere\build\
3. Click the configure button and select which generator you would like to use
4. Click the generate button
5. If your generator is an IDE such as Visual Studio, then open up the newly created .sln file and build ALL_BUILD.

After running ./gloom/gloom, you should get a screen with a reflecting sphere levitating over a big cube, with other spheres orbiting it. You can move around with WASD and turn around with the arrow keys.

If you look at a point on the reflecting cube, you may press SPACE to create a small dent in the surface, changing how the light and surroundings are reflected in the area around it. There is a cooldown on the dent-making at one second.

A brief description of the project is contained in the report provided, apart from that, the comments scattered throughout the code is the only documentation available to this date.
