The main course outcomes covered by this assignment are:

LO4 -- Write a mobile application that makes use of the device graphics APIs such as OpenGL.

Specification:

Imagine your favorite grocery store bottle or can. For this homework I'd like you to write an app which renders this bottle in 3D using OpenGL. Your app should support viewing this bottle (or can) from different positions. In particular, your camera position should always be facing the bottle. You should support zooming in towards the bottle, as well as zooming out from the bottle. You should support moving the camera left or right in a circle about the bottle that is in the plane given by the look-at vector n and the vector n x v where v is the view up vector and x is cross product. It should also support moving the camera up and down in a circle about the bottle in the plane of n and v. Finally so you might be able to write a 3D game you should render some numbers (for keeping score) somewhere in this scene. Describe the UI you use to move in a scene in the file, readme.txt .

I will give a 2pt bonus (after curving) for making your program so that if you tap the screen your bottle breaks apart in an entertaining fashion.

I will give a 2pt bonus (after curving) for making your program play music in the background.
