ToyBlocks the OpenGL / physics engine playground
-
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.
