Final Project: Chess Set – CSE 167

Nam Nguyen

Instructions:

- Download ChessSet.zip

- Unzip ChessSet.zip

- Then run ChessSet.exe

- Make sure all other bitmap files in the same directory

Controls:

- Press the arrow keys to change the angle of the viewer.

- Press “+” to advance the move in the chess game demo.

- Press “R” or “r” to increase or decrease rate of rotational movement (respectively).

Descriptions:

- The original idea is to draw the chess set and also able to move the pieces. Due to time constraint, I drew the chess set with a short demo game.

- First, I modeled the chess pieces using OpenGL solid objects. I spent most of my time on this part of the project. Some of the chess pieces are more difficult to model than others, especially the knight. However, I tried my best to render the chess pieces.

- Second, I rendered the chess board using texture mapping. Then, I put the chess pieces on the chess board.

- Finally, I rendered the table, 2 chairs and a lamp. After that, I placed the chess board on the table top. Then adds Phong lighting at the end.

Techniques:

- uses OpenGL to model the chess pieces

- uses texture mapping on the chess board, table and chair.

- Uses OpenGL Display List to speed up the rendering process of the chess pieces
