Asteroids in 3D… and a bit of 2D
Cathy Leung | 1 February, 2010 | 6:12
So I’ve been working on this little demo in preparation for the upcoming (very very soon…docs left only) release of C3DL’s webGL release. I adapted it from Peter Callaghan’s Asteroids game and the models were from an old demo made as part of our user testing last year.
This demo is kind of cool because it demonstrates many of the features of C3DL and puts it all together in one. Namely it uses:
- collada model loading – you can export to collada from a good number of modeling programs including blender, 3ds max and google sketchup
- particle systems – watch the rocks when they explode!
- lighting – ok… this is not featured well… I’ll try to see if I can do better with it
- picking – click on rock to identify which one

Wow, now that's a cool demo! :D

It's unbelievable how far browser technology has come! I'm sure
