******************************************************************************** * Shoot the Block * * by Roger Kehrer * * rkehrer@student.ethz.ch * ******************************************************************************** Basics: "Shoot the Block" is a little Game simulating the physical behaviour of a Sphere and a Cube. Ms1 is a compiled C++ code for Linux (on a Intel Pentium). It needs "Open Inventor" to run. You can download "Open Inventor" for free from: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/inventor/index.html or directly from the ftp-Server: ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/inventor/download/ In the Game: Once having started the Game you see a Cage, a Cube and a red Line. The red Line indicates where the Sphere starts, its initial velocity and direction. You can interact with the System by the Keys described in the standard-output. Note that you have to activate the arrow in the upper right angle to interact with the System. Target of the game is to hit the cube with the Sphere. There is no Score or even High-Score. Just enjoy the Simulation. :-) Tested on the Computers in IFW C31. (Linux RedHat/IntelPentium) Thanks to: -Philipp Hatt for the basic Sphere and the .iv Models -Yves Weber for his "constructional criticism" :-) ("Scheissgame") -David Zuerrer and Michael Breitenstein for help in early stages of development
