UNIJUÍ 2004 - Marcelo Johann – Mini Curso de Games : 2

Outline for IntroductionOutline for Introduction

Introduction - how games evolved?Motivation - why teaching games?Goals - what to get from the course?Methodology - what’s gonna happen here?Background - what are you expected to know?Infrastructure - HW and SW that we need…Interaction - Keep questioning me…

• Evolution of computer games

From 1D, 2D to complex 3D universe

• Needs: hardware, software, artwork

• Trends:

Continuous hardware evolution

Engines - higher abstraction levels

Professional programming techniques

Extensive visual work -> $$$


MotivationMotivation

• Computing requires Programming• Learning how to program is not simple• Difficulty to begin and to be professional

time, interaction, experience• Need for problems that justify complex programming languages and techniques

Games: lot of fun and learning potential


GoalsGoals• Learning and Practicing Object-Oriented Programming

– Professional C++, modular, O-O• Learning technologies for the development of games that use 3D models

– Engines, 3D modeling– Game architecture and timing – Game techniques

with many other applicationswith many other applications


MethodologyMethodology• Hands-on

• based on step-by-step examples

Test/Ask about everything

• At the beginning: – No class definitions!– Avoid using complex C++ constructions;– Emphasis on productivity

• Complexity is introduced when required


BackgroundBackground• Structured programming• C language• Basic data structures

Not necessary:– experience on C++ programming– advanced computer graphics

Ask about people’s background

Should ask anything that you don’t know!


InfrastructureInfrastructure• Fast computer with:

OpenGL, “Accelerated” graphic cardLinux with gcc, g++, make (Mac OS X now)

• Gizmo3D

http://www.tooltech-software.com/

• Crystal Space

http://sourceforge.net/projects/crystal

• Open Dynamics Engine

Main EngineMain Engine

Gizmo3DGizmo3D• Features• Tutorial slides:

* skip gzApplication methods and task* skip gzGeometry and gzTransform * stop at the Expanding Scene

• start with exe00• Essential constructions of O-O

– Just Object *pt = new Object(...);Object *pt = new Object(...);– And result = pt -> method(...);result = pt -> method(...);

CollisionCollision

• gzIntersector

• intersect(stuff,…)

• getResults

OK

NO!

CollisionCollision

• Car corners

• Simple Geometry

r


CollisionCollision

• To collide is hard

• To know what to do next

is even harder


CollisionCollision

• stairs and floor

• vertical versus horizontal


PhysicsPhysics

• How about collision with other objects?

• This is very hard to handle…

Model what happens in a physical system

• Explosions, particles
