3D Settler’s 's of Catan

Jacob Rickman

Overview

The goal of my final project was to recreate the Settler's of Catan board game with a 3D
user interface and game board. This coincides with my Senior Project, so I already had the complete game
logic done in C++.

Goals

• 3D Gameboard
• Clickable game menu and pieces
• Visual cues when rolling the dice, a player receives resources and when a player wins

Accomplishments

In the end I was able to finish my 3D gameboard, using an assortment of .obj files that I found
online. I was also able to have clickable game pieces and buttons in the world to roll the dice, build, and
end turn. Unfortunately, because of time I did not get around to adding any visual cues, for things such as the dice roll.
