This is an OpenGL project that aims to model fireworks. It is my final project for UW's CS 488 course.
The only external dependencies are OpenAL and ALUT which are are already installed on UW's graphics lab computers. On Ubuntu 14.04 you can add these with the following command:
sudo apt-get install libopenal-dev libalut-dev
The rest of the dependencies are pulled in automatically when building the project and my course submission has these dependencies already pulled in.
To compile the program, run the command "make" within the root directory of the project.
The program will be compiled to bin/Release/fireworks.
The program can then be run with ./bin/Release/fireworks.
This program was compiled/run successfully on graphics lab computer 13 (gl13).
The mouse can be toggled on with the "~" key (the one to the left of the "1"). You can then open up the debug menu to toggle various options as well as change the display mode.
You can move around in the world with the WASD keys, spacebar, CTRL, and by moving the mouse.
Clicking the mouse will launch a firework into the air. Scrolling the mouse wheel will increase or decrease the distance that fireworks spawn in front of you.
- modelling the scene
