Mini OpenGL Game (LearnOpenGL-based)

This repository is a small OpenGL game project based on the LearnOpenGL examples (https://learnopengl.com). The code has been simplified and reorganized into a minimal game (plane) with reusable code grouped into modules for easier expansion and feature work.

Current Feature

• Modular game logic (PlaneGame)
• Asset management for textures and 3D objects
• CMake-based cross-platform build setup
• LearnOpenGL-based rendering utilities
• Couch co-op (Split screen) multiplayer
• In-game HUD
  • Enemy Navigation System
  • Overhead enemy health bar
  • User health bar
  • User booster energy bar
  • Red-dot
• Plane model animation
  • Flap animaiton
  • Propeller animation
• Sony Dualsense Support (Wired Connection only)
  • Basic control
  • Rumble effect
  • Adaptive trigger effect

Project Goals:

• Small & modular: split runtime logic and reusable systems for easier scaling.
• Buildable with CMake: compatible with the original LearnOpenGL CMake flow.
• Ready for extension: easy to add new systems (input, AI, rendering features).

Build through CMake command line:

cd /path/to/LearnOpenGL
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Run:

• After a successful build the executable is placed under bin/plane/ (on Windows CMake places binaries in bin/plane/Debug or bin/plane/Release depending on the configuration). Run the produced plane executable.
• For the itch.io version if you use windows you can start the game with .\launcher.bat

Notes:

• The project includes several third-party helpers (GLAD, STB_IMAGE, tiny Model/Shader utilities from the LearnOpenGL helper code). If prebuilt libraries in lib/ or dlls/ are used they may be compiler-dependent — rebuild them if you encounter link errors.
• If your IDE can't find resource files (shaders, textures, models) set the environment variable LOGL_ROOT_PATH to the repository root so runtime resource lookups succeed.

Dependencies (typical)

• CMake: >= 3.0
• GLFW3, GLM, ASSIMP, OpenGL development headers/libraries
• hidApi For interfacing with Sony Dualsense controller
• C++17 compiler (MSVC, GCC, Clang)

Quick troubleshooting

• If CMake cannot find a package (GLFW, GLM, ASSIMP), install the development packages for your platform or point CMake to the correct locations using -D options.
• On Windows: ensure dlls/ content is copied to the runtime directory or the build target copies them (CMake in this repo will copy dlls/*.dll into the target folder when building on Windows).

For Windows User

For windows user, you can download the game from Itch.io:BottomGunMaverick - GOTY edition

If you'd like, I can:

• Add a short Makefile or PowerShell build script for Windows automation.
• Run a CMake configure/build here and fix compilation errors.
• Expand the README with development notes or a contribution guide.
