The project is only available for MacOS and Linux users AT THE MOMENT. Some changes will come to make it also run on Windows platforms.

I wrote the project in french, so you may not understand some directories names or file names. I'm working on the translation of the whole sourcecode. All the files in the directory Ocean are now translated, excepted the functions that belongs to other files. Translation still in progress.

You can find the following directories :

• Affichage : GUI of the project, creates a window, deals with the keyboard etc
• FFT : my own implementation of the Cooley-Tuckey algorithm, for scientific purposes. This can be replaced by using CUDA library.
• Ocean : classes that are specific to the project

You can find both the classes Camera (to move over the water with the Z, Q, S, D keys) and Affichage (to provide the GUI) in my repositories.

Feel free to leave any comment about the project, or if you want to improve it.

Compilation :

• MacOS : add GLUT, OpenGL and ApplicationServices frameworks
• Linux : $ make && make clean

To close the application :

• MacOS : cmd+Q
• Linux : alt+f4 or escape key

To do :

• comment files in Affichage and FFT directories
• add Windows version and information to compile the project (libs etc)
• use another library instead of GLUT which is deprecated
• add Perlin noise to compute further waves at a lower cost
• add textures to the waves
• keyboard control to switch parameters while running the program
