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
I will probably add something to that uses the effects system as that is one key component not highlighted. Its not quite done yet but I figured I’d link it anyways since I won’t have time to finish it till probably Wednesday…. I still have to add scoring and end game functionalities, the keys should be changed to a and d instead of using arrows, and I think my health bar is messed up when it drops below 25 but… its a start. I also have not tested well on webkit (there was a bug of constantly rotating ship at one point but have not been able to reproduce it) and I can’t seem to run chrome on my desktop atm so no testing there. This demo uses webGL in the main display and I painted the hud with 2D canvas. Click on the asteroids to shoot them. Use arrow keys to rotate the ship. https://cs.senecac.on.ca/~catherine.leung/c3dl/Asteroids3/asteroids.html NOTE: To see this demo you need a web browser that supports webGL and it must be enabled.

It’s unbelievable how far browser technology has come! I’m sure that your library will become ubiquitous as webgl adoption progresses.

WWW2010 in Raleigh

Yesterday Andor and I gave a talk at www 2010. It was about how mid level API’s can help web developers who may not wish to do extremely low level programming at the WebGL level achieve the 3D effects they want. The “slides” from our talk can be found here. The [...]
