Desktop Simulator

OpenGL project which consists of 3D environment, to demonstrate assembly and disassembly of desktop parts. This uses basic glut library to construct a 3D Scene of CPU and it's components.

Setup Project

Windows

1. Setup the project with required OpenGL headerfiles in your IDE (refer this - Visual Studio or CodeBlocks).
2. Copy all required header files & data files the project.
3. Run the project. main.cpp

Note: BMP Image Error - parameter.h change BMP images path to either Relative to project ( Currently ) or Absolute ( if error occurs )

MacOS

Instructions to run on MacOS

Install brew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Install necesarry linking libraries

brew install freeglut glfw3 glew lstdc++

Compile project into binary

clang -o main main.cpp -L/usr/local/lib -lglfw -lstdc++ -framework OpenGL -framework GLUT -framework Cocoa

Run the binary

./main

Note: GLUT is getting deprecated on MacOS 10.9 above, so some functionalities might not work. Need to fix these deprecations soon

MacOS glutBitmapCharacter is deprecated

glutBitmapCharacter does not work with MacOS
After a bit of googling found that OpenGL is deprecated for MacOS (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55287467/is-opengl-on-macos-deprecated). Need to find a workaround to make this thing work !

Any contribution will be appreciated !

Restructuring Repository

Repository needed to be restructured so that it can ease developers to run the program.
@Akshaya520

1. Creating seperate C++ files and Header files of it.
2. Group the parts into one folder, assembled env. Unit another folder.
