"Purrfect Pet Paradise" is an immersive graphics based game that provides users the opportunity to take care of a virtual pet. We narrowed down on just cats for simplicity. Using the skills and techniques taught in class, such as physics-based animation and collision detection, this game aims to create an engaging environment where players can bond with their pet through various activities.

• Develop realistic physics based animations to enhance the interaction between the virtual cat and its environment.
• Implement robust collision detection to ensure smooth and believable movements and interactions.
• Design and integrate a variety of activities, including brushing the cat, playing with a ball, and feeding, to simulate the pet care experience.

• Physics-Based Animation
  • Realistic Movement: Simulate the cat's movements using physics based algorithms to create lifelike animations for walking, running, jumping, and playing.
  • Environmental Interaction: Implement physics to allow the cat to interact with objects in the environment, such as toys and walking.
• Collision Detection
  • Object Interaction: Ensure accurate collision detection to allow the cat to accurately / realistically interact with various objects, such as toys and food bowls.
  • User Actions: Detect collisions between the user's interactions (e.g., brushing, feeding) and the cat, making sure there is responsive and realistic feedback.

1. Brushing
   • User Interface: Create an interface where users select a grooming brush.
   • Cat's Reactions: Program the cat to react positively to brushing, showing animations of contentment and happiness, such as purring, closing its eyes, or moving ears.
2. Playing with a Ball
   • Interactive Toys: Develop a ball that the cat can chase, bat, and carry around.
   • Physics-Based Toy Movement: Simulate realistic toy movements, ensuring the ball bounces, rolls, and reacts to the cat's interactions and the environment.
   • User Engagement: Allow users to throw or roll the ball to the cat and watch the cat interact with it.
3. Feeding
   • Food Types: Offer various types of food, such as dry / wet food, and treats, each with unique properties and effects on the cat.
   • Feeding Mechanics: Implement a feeding process where users can place food in the bowl, and the cat will come to eat.
4. Health and Happiness Metrics: Track the cat's health and happiness levels, providing feedback to the user based on their gameplay / care.

• Graphics and Animation: Utilize WebGL and TinyGraphics for rendering 3D models and animations. Develop cat models with smooth animations. Create a realistic environment making use of texture mapping and modeling.
• Vertex modeling, shading, transformations for movement
• Collision Detection: Implement collision detection algorithms to ensure precise interactions between the cat, objects, and user actions.
• User Interface: Design an intuitive and engaging user interface for interaction with the game, providing easy access to different activities and tools.

"Purrfect Pet Paradise" aims to create an engaging simulation where users can experience the joys of taking care of a virtual cat. By incorporating advanced graphics techniques, physics based animation, and interactive activities, the game will offer a unique and enjoyable experience for cat lovers.
