Lists of OpenGL mini projects with Source code

OpenGL provides great platform to develop the 2D and 3D Computer Graphics objects, render them, apply smart effects to produced wonderful graphical objects. Learning OpenGL and create something with the help of the API is one of the key things a Computer Engineers may have. Though most of the Programmer go to develop application based on different API but OpenGL is almost needed at higher level of graphic implementation. Example OpenGL ES and M3G  is used for developing the 3D mobile applications. OpenGL is used in iPhone as well as in the iPad.





How to Begin Using OpenGL

It is always advised that novices or a beginner, begin with OpenGL basics before moving on to more complicated projects. We recommend to start with the fundamentals of OpenGL first. The following are some excellent learning valuable for learning:

  • LearnOpenGL.com: An extensive, up-to-date OpenGL teaching series.
  • Another great website with OpenGL tutorials is OpenGL-Tutorial.org.
  • A fantastic resource for comprehending and creating shaders, which are crucial to contemporary OpenGL, is The Book of Shaders.

It is good to learn about the computer graphics which uses OpenGL libraries, for the computer science student. To start with learn basic things and develop mini projects on it. That aim is what VTU choose for it Computer Graphics subject. In previous post I talked about the few efficient OpenGL mini-projects, to broaden I posting few more lists that can be easily created and learn. These projects are soul purpose of learning, so if you are serious get over them, read, learn and develop your projects with idea you have.
  • Olympic : This project draw the super cool logo of the Olympic.
  • Simple move light :
    1. In this project six spheres are and a moving light source is designed using glutSolidSphere which impacts ambient, diffuse and specular effects.
    2. Add the keyboard interface is used for output options like a idle, rotation movement, angle increment and decrement.
  • Spot Light swing :
  • Triangular motion:
  • Ship Screensaver:
    1. Screensaver is always been an interesting task to many. Here a simple screensaver package is designed here.
    2. This has colorful interface. We can set this as screen saver for computers. We can use keyboard and mouse for movement. If we click right mouse button the water waves move. If we click on keyboard the boat moves.
    3. We can also use timer for this.
  • Haloed line wireframe:
  • Aquarium :
    1. A clean aquarium is drawn with colourful fishes, which moves around.
    2. This project give ability of adding food as well as poison food for controlling the fishes.
  • Motion Blur :
  • Front Demo : Simply Shows the different fonts as Graphics, a simple demo of all fonts.
  • Particle falls :
    1. A sphere with particles falling over it whose rate can be control.
    2. Another sphere for collision can be added along with controls of adding/removing fog.
    3. Particles can be changes as a drops of either dotted particles or lines particles. 
    4. Many more interactions to try out, both keyboard and mouse functionality.
Lists of OpenGL mini projects Games

Below list some of the OpenGL mini projects Games with free source code
  • Pac-Man: A 2D implementation of the classic arcade game.
  • Tetris: A 2D version of the popular puzzle game.
  • Car Parking Game: An interactive project that simulates parking a car, which can involve collision detection and user input.
