CS 381: Game Engine ArchitectureSpring 2021
Max Score: 100
This is an individual assignment.
Objectives
1. Demonstrate that you can identify, formulate, analyze,and
solve complex game enginearchitectural problems by applying
principles of computing, engineering, science, andmathematics.
2. Demonstrate that you can apply computer science theory and
software developmentfundamentals to design and integrate the
components of a game engine and build agame.
Assignment Objectives
1. Demonstrate that you can setup, compile (build), and run
provided code
2. Demonstrate that you understand the code by modifying the
code to assignment spec-ifications
Assignment description
Do Basic Tutorial 1 preferably in lab. Modify the tutorial to
show four robots using therobot mesh in Samples/Media/Models.
Specifically
1. One robot should be located at (−100, 0, 0) and have default
orientation
2. One robot should be located at (0, 0, 0) and be yawed 90
degrees
3. One robot should be located at (100, 0, 0) and be yawed by
−90 degrees
4. One robot should be located at (0, 100, 0), be scaled by (3,
1, 1), and be yawed by 180degrees

Figure 1: Output from this assignment
5. One robot should be located at (100, 100, 0), be scaled by
(1, 1, 3), and be yawed by270 degrees
6. One robot should be located at (−100, 100, 0), be scaled by
(1, 3, 1), and be yawed by−90 degrees
Your camera should be at (0, 120, 500) and looking back along
the negative Z-axis at(0, 0,−300). Your assignment output should
look like Figure 1 although the underlyingplanar rock wall that the
robots are standing on, and the early morning sky are both
op-tional.
Next, add an Axis Aligned Bounding Box (AABB) around each robot.
Ogre makes thiseasy with a single method call on a scene node. As
part of this assignment, you have tolearn enough about ogre on your
own to add this AABB.

Extra credit
1. Replace the robots with another 3d model (Easy)
2. Have the robots spin slowly in place (Medium)
3. Have a selected robot move with the arrow keys (Hard)
4. Enable RTS style camera controls. Left mouse click select a
robot and make it moveto another location that you right mouse
click on (Insane)
Turning in your assignment
1. Demonstrate your working program in the lab on the due
date.
(a) Make a movie of your working demo and save this movie file
in as0Movie.mp4
(b) Use canvas to turnin in this assignment folder. Zip or tar
and gzip the foldercontaining your assignment source and the above
movie and submit it withincanvas.
(c) Your folder should have screenshots (if any), and a movie of
your runningcode. Use vlc’s screencapture capability, or Kazam to
show your running pro-gram.
(d) Your FULL name and email address, should be on all submitted
files.
Ask on Piazza if you have questions.
