CP2060 Practical 11+12 - Extra

Be ready to demonstrate your project and explain how the code works. Please have it open, compiled and ready to run. Your markers will be asking questions about your code, how it works and why you've done it that way.

But when you're not doing that...

Graphics/Games Engine

Unigine (not Euguene :) is a cross-platform engine using OpenGL.
We've downloaded two interactive demos for you to try. When you run them, watch the instructions at the beggining (e.g. mouse buttons), and press Esc to see the menu during execution.
Note: Requires a modern graphics card that supports GLSL
Don't just watch the demo, experiment with different settings through the menu.

• Cave demo (16MB ZIP) - There's also an AVI file (23MB) of the demo so you can compare (recorded on a fully-capable graphics card).
• Site demo (22MB ZIP)

Just unzip the files to your local computer and run one of the batch files (for window or full-screen).
