Assessment regulations
Refer to Student Handbook guide for undergraduate students for a clarification of
how you are assessed, penalties and late submissions, what constitutes plagiarism
etc.
Penalty for Late Submission
If you submit your coursework late but within 24 hours or one working day of the
specified deadline, 10 marks will be deducted from the final mark, as a penalty for
late submission, except for work which obtains a mark in the range 40 – 49%, in
which case the mark will be capped at the pass mark (40%). If you submit your
coursework more than 24 hours or more than one working day after the specified
deadline you will be given a mark of zero for the work in question unless a claim of
Mitigating Circumstances has been submitted and accepted as valid.
It is recognised that on occasion, illness or a personal crisis can mean that you fail to
submit a piece of work on time. In such cases you must inform the Campus Office in
writing on a mitigating circumstances form, giving the reason for your late or nonsubmission.
You must provide relevant documentary evidence with the form. This
information will be reported to the relevant Assessment Board that will decide
whether the mark of zero shall stand. For more detailed information regarding
University Assessment Regulations, please refer to the following
website:

Coursework One
Notes:
1) In order to pass the referred coursework significant improvements over any
previously submitted version must be demonstrated.
2) You MUST attend a viva – this is part of the assessment. No viva – MAXIMUM
mark of 30%
3) For referred cws only, in the viva you need to explain the improvements you
have made to previous submitted versions.
This coursework is worth 40% of the total module mark.
Please read carefully and read all sections. Raise any issues about this coursework
early with your lecturer/tutor. Also see additional support code on the Blackboard
site for the module under Assessment.
Learning Outcomes:
- Creation of 2D graphics and the orthographic projection
- Creating objects from primitives
- Transformations
- Correct use of GLUT and OpenGL libraries
- Writing understandable code
- User interaction
- Simple Collision Detection
Description
You are to build either a simple 2D game in OpenGL by using the Freeglut library,
already provided to you in the first tutorial or a simple 2D drawing canvas with a title.
You should choose ONLY ONE scenario to implement. It is entirely up to you which
of the two you choose. Both of them carry equal marks.
Note::: You also need to upload a video link where you will explain the CW and the
code. The video link should cover the marking scheme criteria and you should
explain all different parts of the code, for example, collisions, mouse or keyobard
interaction, etc. Please keep the video short and not more than 5min.
Game Scenario
The game is loosely based on the classic 80s games.
A mock-up of the 2D Car game screen is shown in figures 1 and 2.
3D Graphics Programming – Coursework One – Referred/Deferred 5CCGD003W - @Dr Anastassia Angelopoulou
Figure 1: A simple car with obstacles placed on the screen and a score panel
Figure 2: A detailed diagram of the different features
The game scenario consists of a racing car that needs to navigate through a simple
track as shown above. The car must avoid the hazards (5 randomly placed square
blocks) and exit at the green gate.
The car waits at the red gate until the user presses an arrow key to move the car.
The car shall turn/rotate to the appropriate orientation depending on which key will
be pressed next. The user moves the car around the hazards and out of the green
gate. Once the car has reached the green gate the game ends. If the car collides with
a square then 10 points are deducted from the score. The score starts from 50. A
successful game will lead to the award of 50 points (if no hazards are hit). Once the
car has exited the green gate the hazard blocks should re-spawn in different
positions (but not in contact with each other or on top of the car at the start gate).
The score shall accumulate until the application is closed.
3D Graphics Programming – Coursework One – Referred/Deferred 5CCGD003W - @Dr Anastassia Angelopoulou
Technical Details
The screen consists of several objects:
a) The car (controlled by left/right/up/down arrow keys or any other game
related keys such as A/D from the WASD keys)
b) The obstacles
c) The play area (white grid) and the 2 gates
d) The score panel
e) The pop-up menu
f) Some information about user interaction from the console
Notes: All the shapes in the figure are built from simple primitives and you are free
to copy this design without penalty.
User Requirements
R1: If the ‘left key’ is pressed the car moves left
R2: If the ‘right key’ is pressed the car moves right
R3: If the ‘up key’ is pressed the car moves up
R4: If the ‘down key’ is pressed the car moves down
R5: If the ‘R key’ is pressed the car turn/rotates to the appropriate orientation
R6: Right click to bring up a pop-up menu with options
Software Requirements
R7: By default, the application should load and show the car, the obstacles, the score
panel, the play area, and the two gates
R8: Objects shall be redrawn randomly for every new set of obstacles
R9: Every time an obstacle is hit the score reduces by 10 points.
2D drawing canvas scenario
You are to build a simple 2D drawing canvas with a title. The tool should have two
menus one on the left and one on the top from where you can choose primitives or
shapes to draw on the canvas. The shapes are in the form of non-filled and filled
polygons (see menus on left and right). See figure 3 below.
3D Graphics Programming – Coursework One – Referred/Deferred 5CCGD003W - @Dr Anastassia Angelopoulou
Figure 3: A simple drawing
The figure shows the menus, a highlighted primitive, in this case a line, (e.g., left
menu) a simple drawing in the middle of the canvas and text at the bottom of the
screen. You should be able to draw lines by clicking on a starting and an ending point
in the canvas. Appendix A shows some starting code. Figure 1 shows two versions;
one with grid and one without a grid. You should be able to turn the grid on and off
with the help of a pop-up menu as can be seen on the right version.
Animation in the Pop-up menu
The pop-up menu has 3 options. To turn the grid on and off and to start an
Animation. The Animation is a polygon shaped filled field (Figure 4) that drifts from
bottom to top with new shapes appearing from the bottom as the old shapes
disappear. Not all shapes have the same speed. Appendix B shows some starting
code. Some shapes move faster than others. The shapes should be drawn by using
polygons with fill polygon mode. Note:: You should use blended colours to give the
impression of texture on the polygonal shapes.
Figure 4: An animated filled-polygon field that drifts from bottom to top.
3D Graphics Programming – Coursework One – Referred/Deferred 5CCGD003W - @Dr Anastassia Angelopoulou
Controls
You should clear all the drawings from the canvas by pressing the space bar and exit
the application by pressing the escape key. You should also clear specific primitives
by pressing the relevant key. Finally, you should be able to use the special keys, up,
down, left and right to move the shapes. Basic collision between shapes and the
bars should be applied. There is no collision between the shapes. Shapes can overlap
each other.
Technical Details
An Orthographic projection should be used and the canvas consists of several
elements:
a) A title
b) Two menu bars with primitives
c) Inactive areas within the bars
d) Pop-up menu where the user can turn on and off the grid
e) Moving polygon shaped filled field
f) A grid with dashed polylines
g) A highlighted area when the selected primitive or shape is clicked on
h) Key control to clear off all the drawings and quit the application
i) Key control to clear specific group of primitives e.g. all lines, all circles, etc.
j) Some information about user interaction from the console (see figure below)
Figure 4: Output and instructions on the console
Notes: All the shapes in the figure are built from simple primitives and you are free
to copy this design without penalty.
User Requirements
R1: If the ‘l’ key is pressed all lines should be cleared from the canvas
R2: If the ‘t’ key is pressed all triangles should be cleared from the canvas
R3: If the ‘p’ key is pressed all points should be cleared from the canvas
R4: If the ‘c’ key is pressed all circles should be cleared from the canvas
R5: If the ‘r’ key is pressed all rectangles should be cleared from the canvas
R6: If the ‘escape’ key is pressed the application should quit
R7: If the ‘space bar’ is pressed the canvas is cleared
R8: If the special keys are pressed the primitives can be moved

@Dr Anastassia Angelopoulou
R9: Left click to select shapes from the menus
R10: Left click on the drawing area to draw
R11: Right click to bring up a pop-up menu
Software Requirements
R12: By default, the application should load and show the two menu bars, a title and
the grid on
R13: Objects shall be drawn inside the canvas
R14: The titles and labels shall accurately reflect the application.
R15: The Animation should stop when other options from the pop-up menu are
selected
Important Notes:
Make sure you attempt all of the above.
Create C/C++ functions that are sensibly named such as: drawAsteroids(…),
drawObstacles(…), drawSpaceship(…), asteroidCollision(…) , drawHit (..),
createMenu(…), etc.
You can also use C++ classes if you know how to.
Note even if you achieve a requirement you may not get full marks if it is
perceived by the marker that a better solution was possible.
All work is marked in a viva (THE VIVA IS COMPULSORY) and the marker’s
academic judgment is final and cannot be questioned.
Note that the maximum mark for work marked without a
viva/demonstration will be 30%.
Please comment your code extensively and put the author of any code that
is not your own in the comments above the code section. Note you may lose
marks for uncommented code.
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT COPY A SOLUTION TO THIS FROM THE INTERNET.Please submit your code via Blackboard by 1PM on the due date.
TIPS:
Design your application before coding.

Mark Breakdown and Guidelines – note this will be marked using a
Blackboard rubric during a compulsory viva
Note::: Not full marks will be given per section, even if the components have been
fully implemented, if the student cannot explain satisfactorily the code to the tutor.

Appendix A
This is an example of a line class to be able to draw a line. You can follow
similar concept for other shapes such as triangles and rectangles.
// Line class
class Line
{
public:
Line(int x1Val, int y1Val, int x2Val, int y2Val)
{
x1 = x1Val; y1 = y1Val; x2 = x2Val; y2 = y2Val;
}
void drawLine();
private:
int x1, y1, x2, y2; // x and y co-ordinates of
endpoints.
};
3D Graphics Programming – Coursework One – Referred/Deferred 5CCGD003W - @Dr Anastassia Angelopoulou
Appendix B
For example, you can use structures to store the data for the shapes.
//structure for the animated shapes
struct Shapes {
GLfloat x, y;
GLfloat vx, vy;
};
//the randomised function assigns different numbers to the
coordinates and their velocity. this helps with the
different speed to the shapes
for (i = 0; i < num_shapes; i++)
{
shapes[i].x = rand() % weidth ;
shapes[i].y = rand() % height ;
shapes[i].vx = (rand() / (float)RAND_MAX) * 3;
shapes[i].vy = (rand() / (float)RAND_MAX) * 5;
}
