Getting Started

Prerequisites

• 2D Project:
  • Requires Java 11 or later and JavaFX SDK.
• 3D Cube Project:
  • Requires:
    • OpenGL (Version 3.3 or higher).
    • Development tools such as Visual Studio (or similar).
    • Libraries: GLFW, GLAD, stb_image, and glm.

Installation and Testing (3D Cube)

1. Download the Project:

   • Clone the repository:

     git clone https://github.com/DespotS/Computer-Graphics.git

   • Or download the provided .zip file and extract it.

2. Open the Project:

   • Open the 3dcube.sln file in Visual Studio (or your preferred IDE).

3. Build and Run:

   • Ensure the required libraries (GLFW, GLAD, stb_image, glm) are included in the project.
   • Build the solution using the Debug or Release configuration.
   • Run the executable (3dcube.exe) located in 3dCube/x64/Debug/.

4. Controls:

   • W: Move the cube upward.
   • S: Move the cube downward.
   • A: Move the cube left.
   • D: Move the cube right.
   • Q: Zoom in.
   • E: Zoom out.
   • ESC: Exit the program.

Known Issues

• Large files have been excluded from the repository due to size constraints. Ensure dependencies such as glfw3.dll are correctly placed in the project directory.
• Ensure proper driver support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher.
