This project was small one that I started at school and I improved later. To test myself with OpenGL and more especially with the shaders and lighting managment, I created a program that simulate the reflection of the light on a reflective surface (such as glass).

In other words, this program calculates the direction that the light will take if it reflects of a surface. By taking this direction, it creates a spotlight from the surface to a wall.

After making this, I've added the possibility to move the surface in order to make the reflection moving the same way as we are reflecting the sunlight on our watch.

Finally I duplicated the surface and the lights and give them different colours. By converting the RGB values to RYB values in order to have the primary colours, I manage to calculate the mix of the two lights colours on the wall.

Introduction

The main project of my first year in Computer Games Technology was to create a Game Engine from scratch within a team of three people.

At the beginning of the year, we imagined the engine via a Technical Design Document.

During the second part of the year we programmed the engine which regroup several demos for each imiplemented feature (physique, sound, texturing, event system, model loading etc...).

What I've done

On this project I've done several tasks. During the beginning of the production I was in charge of integrating several external module such as the physics engine Bullet or Wwise.

During the rest of the project I worked on the architecture and the implementation of the Entity Component System (ECS), the Event System, the window managment and the use of the mouse inside of it.

Conclusion

This project brings me a lot of knowledge on the production of a Game Engine of course but also about the Rendering pipeline, external module implementation, ECS, Event System implementation which was very technical and very rewarding to do.

In general, it gave me a solid technical background especially in C++.
