School 42's fdf project challenges students to build a wireframe model representing a landscape as a 3D object in which all surfaces are delimited by lines. For doing so, we are asked to use the school's graphics library minilibx. This library was developed internally and includes basic necessary tools to open a window, create images and deal with keyboard and mouse events.
This project is the opportunity for us to learn the basics of graphics programming, especially how to open a window, place points in space, draw lines and represent 3D objects. This project is a excellent introduction to the future 42-minirt project, where we'll be creating a 3D light engine.

Download fdf and enter the repo :

git clone https://github.com/Floperatok/42-fdf.git && cd 42-fdf

For linux users, you will need to install the following packages :

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xorg libxext-dev zlib1g-dev libbsd-dev

For Mac and Windows user you can refer to the unofficial minilibx doc and modify the Makefile.

Init and update the submodules :

git submodule init && git submodule update

Compile the project :

make && make clean

The project is now ready to be launched, fdf needs a map to read and display. 42 gives us a few maps to try out the project, they can be found in the maps folder.
You can now run fdf :

./fdf maps/42.fdf

A black window with a rotating red 42 wireframe should appear. There are several controls you can use to interact with the wireframe.

Enjoy !
