A CS project that will contain:

• [3D Rendering]
• [Baked Physics Format|File reading and writing]
• [XInput|Controls from different input devices]

Written in C++ and compiled using CMake using OpenGL

Documentation written in MarkDown using the Obsidian note taker

Making use of the Raylib C++ wrapper

Using Trello for task tracking

• Use of OpenGL for 3D rendering
• Inputs from joystick type controllers
• Definition of file formats to store aircraft .aircraft (.zip file)
  • Contains the .obj
  • Contains UV and texture data
  • Contains a self defined .bpf (.xml file) to store pre-baked flight profile arguments
• A method of editing the files

• Shaders
• Performance
• Calculate flight characteristics based on the 3D model file
• Editor for the new file types
• Support for the use of a VR headset using OpenVR

• 3D rendering and physics engine for flight should provide complexity
• Definition of file formats, reading and writing will add file handling
• Physics engine for the flight aspects will add physics beyond the rigid body engine built into one of the libraries I will use
• Interaction with different input devices will add the need for a number of configuration menus

• Aircraft is simulated using predefined/pre-baked characteristics from a file
• Aircraft is controlled using an input device besides a keyboard and mouse
• Aircraft is rendered in full colour from a .obj and related texture files
• Flight control surfaces can be moved and are animated beyond the simulation
• Users can follow documentation and be able to create their own .aircraft files using a .obj from Blender

• Use of GitHub for versioning
• Use Obsidian note taking software for documentation
