ToyBlocks the OpenGL / physics engine playground

[matti-]

Wanting to update my knowledge on modern OpenGL a while back I started working on a piece of software which later turned into ToyBlocks the software .. And as a Qt coding competition came along at a nice time, I ended up finishing this project and now its found in the Nokia store for the N9: http://store.nokia.com/content/218094/

Basically its a bunch of toy blocks piled on top of each other. You can push them and see the physics engine (Bullet Physics) in action. That is it. :)

Next version shall get:

• lighting
• shadows
• probably more complex block stacks
• better surroundings (ie. skybox)

Version 1.1. is out (although at the moment of writing has not yet passed Nokia Store QA but will before xmas :)). New features include:

• per-pixel dynamic lighting
• dynamic shadows with depth texture shadow map
• parallel physics calculations for extra kick on multicore devices
• fences!
• completely redone textures
• Android port (all hail Necessitas!), not yet in store though but coming real soon: http://777-team.org/~matti/software/ToyBlocks/

New Harmattan + Android (tested on HTC Desire Z + Galaxy S2) binaries available on the site.
