Virtual Island
This demo application is
inspired in a distant lost island in the Pacific Ocean. When you get into it you
can hear all the sounds that surround you like waves, seagull squawks and wind.
You can also move around the scenary with a free first person camera that allows
you to fly over the island. It also includes special features in the window menu
that allows you to select which objects you want to render, activate or
deactivate sound and music, apply wireframe rendering model and turn it to a
full screen mode.
All the external resource files such as bitmaps, raws and audio files are inside
the executable exe file using resource functions, thus allowing a stand-alone and
easy to handle file.
This application uses OpenGL for the 3D API and graphics
performance. It's completely programmed under Visual C++ trying to fit to the
best object oriented programming. It also uses DirectX through the DirectMIDI
class library which performs all the audio functions and sound effects involved
in the application. You can see some snapshots of the island in the images
below:
