Modulus Woods

You're a brave Jack-O-Lantern exploring Modulus Woods, a procedurally generated world of curious shrubbery.

Screenshots: Coming Soon

Developed with C++ and OpenGL for macOS, Windows and Linux.

Features

• Explore an endless world
• Save and load seeds which will regenerate the world as you last saw it

Controls

• Use WASD or the arrow keys to move the player forward, back, left or right.
• Click the window with the left mouse button to capture the mouse and enter camera look mode.
• Move the mouse in camera look mode to rotate about the player and change the forward direction.
• Press escape to exit camera look mode, and get your mouse back
• Scroll up to narrow the viewer perspective (zoom in) and scroll down to zoom out.
• Press the 0 key at any time to print a seed value to the console. You can enter this later to generate a world at the same starting position.
• Press the grave/backtick button (`) to toggle the visibility of the X, Y and Z axes (hidden by default)

Dependencies

Beyond the C++ standard library this application relies on:

• OpenGL
• GLFW
• GLEW
• GLM
• siv::PerlinNoise (generates 2D heightmaps for terrain)
• tinyobjloader
• stb image

(Following standard setup procedure in a CMake-compatible IDE should fetch all these dependencies for you, so you shouldn't need to download them separately.)

Other help

• Starter skeleton code adapted from LearnOpenGL.com and COMP 371 at Concordia University
• Cross platform CMake setup created using Hunter
• Thanks to Adrian Biagioli for discussing the Improved Perlin Noise algorithm in clear terms.
