Description:

Scene demonstrating the use of game physics using the Bullet physics engine, OpenGL (3D graphics), and SDL (audio only)

---

Videos:

Bullet Physics: Youtube Vid 1

Bullet Physics: Youtube Vid 2

Screenshots:

Castle, walls are box objects, towers are cylinder and cone objects

---

The arrow is created using compounds shapes, and fired right-clicking

---

Arrows destroy individual castle blocks, with sound effect

---

The exploding balls are created using sphere objects. Fired using the middle mouse button, they explode on impact with castle triggering an explosion at the point of impact, with sound effect

---

Castle walls destroyed by exploding ball

---

The letters are created using compound shapes, and have a different points value and effect to the castle blocks

---

Tower exploding after being hit by exploding sphere object

---

Book used in creating the game:

Learning Game Physics with Bullet Physics and OpenGL

---

Running:

Requires Visual Studio. Created with Visual Studio 2017, and SDL dll files
