Final Project CSC471 -- Bunny Ice Maze

Brandon Bussjaeger -- bbussjae at calpoly

Spring 2012

The game starts with the player trapped in a maze of bunnies. You are given a flashlight to look around, and can slide on the ice floor to move. When moving, you will slide until you hit the next bunny. The goal is to get to the green flare at the end of the maze.

Controls

Camera and Player Movement
W - Either face or slide in a direction. If you are not facing exactly North, East, South, or West, you will turn to look to the colosest direction. If you are facing an exact direction, you slide forward.
Mouse - Move the mouse to look around, FPS style. The mouse buttons do not do anything.
Q - Quit the game.
NN - Hitting N twice will reset you to the start of the maze. Quicker than quitting and running again.

Cheats and other Commands
G - Toggles in and out of an overhead view. Used for debugging.
N - Toggle noclip mode. In noclip, you can fly around the map freely using WASD and the mouse. You will be reset at the start of the maze when toggling out of noclip.
K - Decrease the flashlight brightness. Used to "calibrate" between monitors and systems.
L - Increase the flashlight brightness.

Features

• Collision detection between sliding player and bunnies
• Phong model lighting with a point light source that moves with the player. The GLSL file is here.
• Flashlight both fades in the distance, and fades away from the view vector
• Three different "cones" to represent a flashlight. An inner bright circle, a slightly more outer circle, and the rest of the view circle.
• A flickering green flare where the end of the puzzle is
• No need to click or drag to look around; just move the mouse
• Smooth animations to turn the player camera and slide across the ice.
• Download the entire zip file here. Makefile runs on Linux machines.
