Homework #2: OpenGL Fireworks Tank

• Due: 1 Dec 11:59pm (Please DO NOT send any EXE file! It will be bounced by the spam filter!)
• Keyboard control
  • Up/down arrow: changes the "elevation angle" of the cannon.
  • Left/right arrow: changes the "traversal angle" of the cannon.
  • w/s: moves the tank forward/backword.
  • a/d: changes the orientation of the tank.
  • Page up/down: changes the elevation angle of the camera.
  • Home/end: rotates the camera.
  • -/+(=): zooms out/in.
  • Spacebar: shoots a fire.
  • p: pauses the animation.
  • Ctrl+Page Up/Down: changes the rendering level of the tank. (May help to understand rendering process.)
• Requirements
  • Implement UI for tank control.
    • To change the elevation angle of the cannon.
    • To change the traversal angle of the cannon.
    • To move forward/backward.
    • To change the orientation.
  • Simulate the trajectory of the cannon ball.
    • The motion should follow that of a trajectory.
    • It's ok to have only one cannon ball at a time. (Simulating multiple balls simutaneously may be tricker.)
    • Each ball should act as a point light source.
    • The ball should disappear when hit the ground.
    • Put several objects (teapot, cone, sphere, etc.) on the ground so that the light effect can be seen.
• Executables
  • Linux (64bit)
  • Windows XP (32bit)
  • Windows 7 (64bit)
  Samples
  • arm.cpp
