FdF

Status: finished

New knowledge:

• Basic Computer Graphics

Description:

FdF is a short for 'fil de fer' which means wireframe model in french. The purpose of this project is to build a representation of a landscape in 3D. It is achieved using the Codam Graphical Library as it includes basic necessary tools to open a window, create images and deal with keyboard and mouse events. For more information access their repository https://github.com/codam-coding-college/MLX42.

How to compile:

# clone repository
git clone https://github.com/carologata/42-FdF.git

# enter thee folder
cd 42-FdF

# compile Mandatory using Makefile
make

# the result of compilation is the executable
./fdf

# compile Bonus using Makefile
make bonus

# the result of compilation is the executable
./fdf_bonus

# There are some available maps to test in the maps directory.
# You can open the 3D maps using the command below, for example
./fdf maps/42.fdf

When the window is opened, the landscape is in Isometric Perspective, but when using the executable ./fdf_bonus you are allowed to do some rotations, translations, zooms etc. See below some keyboard events:

• Rotation in x

  • KEY A
  • KEY D

• Rotation in y

  • KEY W
  • KEY S

• Rotation in z

  • KEY K
  • KEY J

• Translation in x

  • KEY RIGHT
  • KEY LEFT

• Translation in y

  • KEY UP
  • KEY DOWN

• Zoom

  • KEY KP ADD
  • KEY KP SUBTRACT

• Increase or decrease the lanscape's height

  • KEY KP MULTIPLY
  • KEY KP DIVIDE

• Views

  • KEY KP 1 (Isometric Perspective)
  • KEY KP 2 (Oblique Perspective)

• Close the window ESC
