  1. Graphics Qubed SCE Presentation of Epoch: Relic of Time

  2. Introduction Team: Graphics Qubed Roles: Team Leader ( Audrey Wells ) Lead Architect and Tester ( Sean Matthews ) Configuration Manager ( Peter Dudek ) Project: 3D Graphical Computer Game Epoch: Relic of Time

  3. Outline of Main Points Initial Goals System Structure and Design System Features Problems Encountered Demonstration of Game

  4. Initial Goals – Completed Simple 3D Adventure-RPG Game Multiple levels, each containing several rooms Variety of textures to make interesting levels Objects and characters to interact with User Interface for inventory objects Story screens between levels

  5. Initial Goals – Eliminated Artificial Intelligence for characters Health levels and other player statistics Hazards that lower player health Expanded User Interface

  6. System Structure and Design Object-Oriented Design: Tools: C++ Programming Language OpenGL: Widely used API (Application Programming Interface) for 2D and 3D graphics Object Classes: • Interface Class • COGLTexture Class • Main Module • Level Class • Tile Class • Player Class • Item Class

  7. OpenGL Sample Code void Tile::drawPit(int x, int y, COGLTexture tex){ float t = tileSize; tex.SetActive(); glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0); glBegin(GL_POLYGON); glTexCoord2f(0, 0); glVertex3f(t * x, -t, t * y); glTexCoord2f(0, 1); glVertex3f(t * x + t, -t, t * y); glTexCoord2f(1, 1); glVertex3f(t * x + t, -t, t * y + t); glTexCoord2f(1, 0); glVertex3f(t * x, -t, t * y + t); glEnd(); }

  8. System Structure and Design Level Design: 2D arrays of data A integer key describing tile types 0 – Empty 1, 3, 5 – Individual Wall Types 2, 4, 6 – Individual Floor Types 7 – Tree 8 – Pit 9 – “Special” Floor

  9. Level Array Sample Code int roomSix[15][15]={ {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}, {0,0,0,0,0,3,3,3,3,3,0,0,0,0,0}, {0,0,0,0,3,3,4,4,4,3,3,0,0,0,0}, {0,0,0,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,0,0,0}, {0,0,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,0,0}, {0,3,3,4,4,4,3,4,3,4,4,4,3,3,0}, {0,3,4,4,4,3,3,4,3,3,4,4,4,3,0}, {0,3,4,4,4,3,4,4,4,3,4,4,4,3,0}, {0,3,4,4,4,3,4,4,4,3,4,4,4,3,0}, {0,3,3,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,3,3,0}, {0,0,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,0,0}, {0,0,0,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,0,0,0}, {0,0,0,0,3,3,4,4,4,3,3,0,0,0,0}, {0,0,0,0,0,3,3,3,3,3,0,0,0,0,0}, {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0} };

  10. Level Array Sample

  11. System Structure and Design Game Scripting: Overview of scripting Very verbose and tedious! Player Scripting: Keep track of player coordinates and direction Item and tile collision Switching between rooms in a level Item Scripting: Assigning certain tasks to items Pop-up dialogue boxes Very verbose and tedious

  12. Item Scripting Sample Code if(door.isItemInRoom()){ if(isItemInWay(door, pX, pY, pDir) && avatar.getHasBronzeKey()){ door.setItemInRoom(false); door.setItemUsed(true); bronzeKey.setItemInInventory(false); bronzeKey.setItemUsed(true); theInterface.setLeftTexture(leftInterfaceTex); avatar.setHasBronzeKey(false); //Load pop-up “Door is unlocked” } else if(isItemInWay(door, pX, pY, pDir)){ //Load pop-up “Door is locked” } }

  13. System Features Texture Mapping: The process of superimposing a 2D texture or pattern over the surface of a 3D graphical object. This is an efficient method for producing the appearance of texture, such as that of wood or stone, on a large surface area.

  14. Items placed throughout the game’s environment add variety and interactivity. System Features 3D Items: Multiple planes in 3D space Doors, stairs, characters 2D Items: Placed over a flat floor tile Textured to look like a 3D object Levers, keys

  15. System Features Level Design Using tile types to create a variety of environments Levels have unique time themes Level Puzzles Interacting with other characters Using objects to accomplish goals Navigating complex terrain

  16. Problems Encountered Creating class structure Setting up OpenGL 3D space Enabling texture-mapping Running out of texture memory Time constraints Prevented us from adding audio and additional levels (especially bigger, better, and more challenging ones)

  17. Project Demonstration
