Overview

An introduction to graphics, This project is about representing a landscape as a 3D object in which all surfaces are outlined in lines using a graphics library.

Description

• This project is implemented in c and is compilable with a Makefile.
• Memory leaks free, Memory leaks are not to be tolerated.
• Error free, an error displayed in case something went wrong.
• The program uses the 42 minilibx as a graphics library.
• The management of the window remains smooth through the program lifespan.
• Pressing ESC closes the window and quits the program in a clean way.
• Clicking on the cross on the window’s frame also closes the window and quit the program in a clean way.
• The program takes a map and transforms it into a 3d landscape and displays a landscape in a window using an isometric projection.
• The coordinates of the landscape can be stored in a .fdf file passed as a parameter to the program.
• As a bonus The program Includes the following extra features:
• an extra projection Orthographic.
• The ability to Zoom in and out, Translate and Rotate the model.
• The program is able to transform a map like this :
