Do you remember good old fashioned playground freeze tag? That was so fun!
Well now you can play it again but on the computer! In this game you are the
dog. Whenever you tag a sheep, it gets frozen (actually turns blue!). Tag all
the sheep before it reaches the end of the map, aka freedom.
Controls
"w" move forward, "s" you can cheat and move backwards
move mouse on screen to look around and determine direction.
Features
Directional lighting using Phong model
Animation of objects
Colision detection
Numerous and highly varying matrix transforms
Rules
Tag all the sheep - freeze them and make them blue - before they reach the end of the map to win!

Lessons Learned
It's hard to transform the camera into a third person view and having the mouse control movement of the dog in a natural way. I know realize how much math is involved in gaming
and computer science in general.
