Sky battle : 3D open GL PC game

Abstract

Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) is an application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D Graphics. This API is usually used for rendering Graphics using Graphics processing unit (GPU) in order to achieve more efficient and optimized rendering. OpenGL is used in several zones including video games, computer-aid design (CAD), virtual reality (VR) scientific visualization, flight simulation. OpenGL uses OpenGL shading language (GLSL), which is responsible for calculating the final color and brightness of each pixel after applying light, shadows, reflections, etc. My aim is to create a high-quality 3D realistic game based on aircraft battle, with as less bugs and crashes as possible. The game is controlled using mouse and keyboard and processes fog, shadows, multiple light sources and some special light effects in order to make the game more realistic. Apart from visuals, the game functions are focused on collision detection, some physics and controls along with camera

movement. The game uses lightweight java game library (LWJGL) that enables cross- platform access APIs useful in developing graphics like OpenGL when developing in

java.
