final-project-for-interactive-graphics-course-1794530 created by GitHub Classroom Animation and mouse control is enabled by default. Controls are:

A: Move camera left D: Move camera right W: Move camera up S: Move camera down E: Move forward Q: Move Backward Space bar: stop moving

R: Start/stop animation M: Enable/disable mouse

It changes the lookAt of the camera (doesn't affect the movement, it only looks on that direction)

The surroundings are a representation of the solar system.

• Planets are created using hierarchies
• Each planet has its own texture
• The galaxy is another sphere.
• There is rotation and translation for all planets
• The moon rotations/translates around the Earth
• There is a lighting source placed at the Sun, as well as ambient light.
• Environment can be controlled using keyboard and mouse
• It is possible to select a planet to place the camera behind and follow it around the sun.

2 buffers are used, one for the solar system, another one for the spaceship. The spaceship details are:

• Comprises of 3 part: the body (parent) and the 2 wings (childs)
• The shape of the ship is a single trapezoid used for the 3 parts. The wings are scaled wider and shorter
• The body and wings rotate differently when moving forward/backward/sideway.
• It is fixed on a position in front of the camera
