C++ OpenGL programming..

9 12 2006

Hello world.
I am sitting here at home doing schoolwork. I’m taking a cource called “Software design (C++)” and we have a larger programming assignment for the end-term period. We coudl choose from a set of predefined assignments. They sounded boring (you can have a look for youself), so i chose the last one where we could define our own project using some framework.

So i decided to make a game for one-year-olds. Sometimes when I am using the computer Emma comes and wants to “punch” the keyboard [You can't believe how many keyboard shortcuts I have learned that way, last time she managed to flip the screen upsidedown (it was on a pc with win xp) and I had to spend several minutes trying to flip it back wile tilting my head upsidedown].

3d cubes 3

Well I thougt, why not make a program that she can use, and is “fun” and i wont be worried that she accidentally types someting like “sudo rm -rf /”. It would learn a child to use “friendly” keys, like the letters, space and enter, and would override all system commands like shutdown etc. So when you press friendly keys “fun” stuff happen. I am working now on bouncing 3D cubes with pictures on them, they would emerge if some nice key is pressed.
