CPE 471 - Final Project: Destiny Island

Robert Mathews

Project Overview

The use of manipulating a virtual camera opens the door to many different simulators and a near inifitne number of scenes one can create in openGL. I originally wanted to recreate the "Destiny Islands" a playable world in the video game Kingdom Hearts. After refining my idea to be a little more managable, I decided to create a single relaxing beach scene dubbed "Destiny Island".
