ABSTRACT
Graphics provides one of the most natural means of communicating with a
computer, since our highly developed 2D and 3D pattern recognition
allow us to perceive and process pictorialdata rapidly and efficiently.
Interactive computer graphics is the most important means of producing the
pictures since the invention of photography and television. It has the added
advantage that with the computer we can make pictures not only of concrete
real world objects butalso of abstract such as survey results.
This project is a collision evasion process implemented in the form
of a game. Here the useris allowed to control the movement of the plane
through a collision course. The objective is to evade the obstacles and
travel as far as possible. The plane’s upward movement is controlled by
the left mouse button. Holding and pressing the left mouse button takes
the plane higher and releasing the button results in the plane descending
down. As the distance covered increases the speed of the plane increases.
The main obstacles are buildings and clouds. The user must make sure
that no part of the plane touches either the clouds or the buildings. The
plane is also equippedwith a booster which the user can activate with the
right mouse button. The booster makes the plane travel at a faster pace.
The booster gets depleted when being used and replenishes gradually
when not used. At any instance the user can pause the game by pressing
”p” on the keyboard. Pressing the key again will resume the game. The
library glut.h is utilized in the implementationof the game as it provides
a wide range of options to draw the necessary shapes.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction to Computer Graphics
Before the invention of computer graphics people used to display the
information manually either by drawing or creating model which resembles
real environment. For example the Greeks were able to convey their
architectural ideas graphically using drawing. Today the same type of
information is generated by architects, mechanical engineers and draftsman
using computer based graphics system.
Our interaction with computers has become dominated by a visual paradigm
that includes windows, icons, menus and a pointing device, such as a
mouse. From a user’s Perspective, windowing system such as the X
windows system, Microsoft’s Windows. Although we are familiar with the
style of graphical user interface used on most workstations, advances in
computer graphics have made possible other forms of interfaces.
Fig 1.1 A Graphics System

1.5 Introduction to OpenGL API
OpenGL’s structure is similar to that of most
modern API’s any effort that you put into learning OpenGL will
carry over to other software systems. OpenGL is easy to learn
compared with other API’s, it support two and three dimensional
programs that we develop. OpenGL provides the programmer with
an interface to graphics hardware. It is a powerful, low- level
rendering and modeling software library, available on all major
platforms, with wide hardware support.
Most of our applications will be designed to access
OpenGL directly through functions in three libraries they are as
follows:
1. GLU
2. GL
3. GLUT
The main GL libraries usually have function that
begins with the letters gl. The OpenGL Utility Library (GLU) uses
gl functions but contains code for creating common objects and
simplifying viewing. To interface with the window system and to
get input from external devices into our programs we need at least
one more library. For each major window system there is a system-
specific library that provides the glue between the window system
and OpenGL that library is OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT).
1.2 OpenGL supports two classes of primitives:
1 Geometric primitives
2 Image or raster primitives
Geometric primitive are specified in the problem domain and include
points, line segments, polygons, curves, and surfaces. Raster primitives
are those which are displayed using array of pixels, it is difficult to
manipulate raster primitive objects.
OpenGL provide various viewing function that helps us to develop
various views of single object, and the way in which it appears on
screen. OpenGL default view is the orthographic projection. OpenGL
also provide various transformation functions with the help of these
functions user can render its object at the desired location on the screen.
In OpenGL we obtain viewing and modeling functionality through a
small set of transformation functions. We can even rotate the object
along desired locations and with the desired angle on the screen.
1.3 OpenGL
OpenGL provides a set of commands to render a three dimensional
scene. That means you provide the data in an OpenGL-useable form
and OpenGL will show this data on the screen (render it). It is
developed by many companies and it is free to use.
OpenGL is a hardware- and system-independent interface. An
OpenGL-application will work on every platform, as long as there is an
installed implementation. Because it is system independent, there are no
functions to create windows etc., but there are helper functions for each
platform. A very useful thing is GLUT.
1.4 GLUT
GLUT is a complete API written by Mark Kilgard which lets you create
windows and handle the messages. It exists for several platforms, that means
that a program which uses GLUT can be compiled on many platforms without
(or at least with very few) changes in the code.

1.6 OpenGL architecture
OpenGL is a collection of several hundred functions providing access to all the
features offered by your graphics hardware. Internally, it acts as a state
machine--a collection of states that tells OpenGL what to do. Using the API,
you can set various aspects of the state machine, including such things as the
current color, lighting, blending, and so on. When rendering, everything drawn
is affected by the current settings of the state machine. It's important to be
aware of what the various states are, and the effect they have, because it's not
uncommon to have unexpected results due to having one or more states set
incorrectly. At the core of OpenGL is the rendering pipeline as shown in
Figure.
Fig 1.3 The OpenGL rendering pipeline
1.1 How does OpenGL work?
OpenGL bases on the state variables. There are many values, for example the
color, that remain after being specified. There are no classes like in DirectX.
However, it is logically structured.
OpenGL provides its own data types. They all begin with "GL". For example-
GLfloat, GLint and so on. There are also many symbolic constants; they all
begin with "GL_", like GL_POINTS, GL_POLYGON.

CHAPTER 4 IMPLEMENTATION
Tools Used:
OpenGL is an application program interface that is used to define 2D and 3D
computer graphics. This cross-platform API is generally considered to set the
standard in the computer industry when it comes to this type of interaction
with 2D computer graphics and has also become the usual tool for use with 3D
graphics as well. Short for Open Graphics Library, OpenGL eliminated the
need for programmers to rewrite the graphics section of an operating system
each time a business would upgrade to a new version of the system.
The basic function of OpenGL is to issue a specific collection of executable or
commands to the operating system. In doing so, the program works with the
existing graphics hardware that resides on the hard drive or other specified
source. Each command in the set is designed to engage a certain drawing
action, or launch a specific special effect associated with the graphics.

CHAPTER 5 RESULTS AND SNAP SHOTS
Fig 5.1 Screen with Menu
The start screen has four options:
1. Play – starts the game.
2. Instructions – Displays the instructions to play the game.
3. About – Details of the student.
4. Exit – Exits from the screen.
Fig 5.2 Cloud as an obstacle
The plane has to6 escape the cloud/building using mouse interaction. By
pressing the left mouse button, the plane moves upwards and escapes from
the cloud/building. If the plane collides with the cloud/building, the game
ends.
Fig 5.3 Building as an obstacle
Fig 5.4 Game over Screen
When the plane collides with the cloud/building, the game ends and the
game over screen appears. This screen shows the distance travelled by
the plane (in meters) and the levels completed.
By clicking on the Restart button, it goes back to the start screen and
you can choose among the four options.

CHAPTER 6 FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
The enhancements I would like to make for my project are as follows:
 Adding sound effects – for movement of the plane, collision of the plane
with cloud/building, level up, background music, plane crashing the
boundaries etc.
 Additional obstacles – like birds, hot air balloons, kites etc.
 Adding collectables – like coins and boosters to buy new parts for the plane
and other boosts.
 Adding missions and challenges – daily and weekly challenges, completing
missions for upgrades and power-ups.
 Customizing the plane – with the coins and boosts collected; customize the
plane with new parts for greater speed and control.
 Adding various backgrounds for differ levels – new backgrounds for each
new level unlocked.
 Adding more lives for the plane – each player can have a maximum of 3
lives before the game ends.
 Option to disable sound effects – an option to disable sound effects during
or before/after the game.
CHAPTER 7 CONCLUSION
The project ‘Airplane game’ implemented on Windows platform using C
was completed successfully. It involves various translating, scaling and
rotating effects effectively bringing out a simple animation. The utilities and
functions provided by the OpenGL have been used in an optimal way to
achieve a completely working project.
The work done during the process of completion of this project has helped
me understand the various functionalities available in a better and a more
practical environment and I realize that the scope of OpenGL platform has a
premier game developing launch pad. Hence it has indeed been useful in
developing many games. OpenGL in its own right is good for low cost and
simple game development. It serves as an important stepping stone for
venturing into other fields of Computer Graphics design and applications.
3D animation, modeling, gaming etc. are the next big things, and working
on this project has helped me learn the basics required for it. I have
implemented this project for entertainment purpose and this game is very
easy to play.
