Aurora

Opensource, Windows based 3D engine featuring OpenGL, Qt and C++11. Project was originally meant to develop into a 4X strategy game inspired by Endless Space.

Currently presenting:

• GUI made with Qt widgets (with CSS styles)
• UI interaction with high usage of signals and slots
• Resource management (3d models, textures, shaders)
• Ray-tracing for interaction with game objects in 3D space with mouse
• Phong lighting model
• Multithreaded game logic
• Elastic ModelContainer class with child objects
• Fully functional camera
• Support for static level of detail meshes
• .obj file parser
• Constellation generator (planar graph with stars as nodes)
• GeometryProvider class which generates primitives such as geospheres, icosahedrons, billboards and adequate UV maps
• XML file data
• Most game related algorithms wrapped in classes
