Card Matching Game
A game engine created using OpenGL.
This card matching game was created in order to grasp the fundamentals of graphics programming using the OpenGL library.
After running the executable, a window titled "Card Match" opens up showing a 3D view of 8 cards faced downwards. The user can click a card to flip it. Once 2 cards are flipped, if the cards match they disappear, otherwise they flip back. Once all the cards are flipped, the board resets with new randomly placed cards.
Key components made for this project include the Camera class, Game logic class, Mouse picker class, and the Card class. This project taught me important fundamentals in 3D graphics programming through making vertex and fragment shaders and using vertex buffer objects.
The game also allows the user to move around the 3D space. While it isn't exactly necessary given the nature of the game. I found it amusing to give users the ability to cheat and look under the cards. Notice how cards can still be flipped no matter the change in perspective.
