README

This is LAB 12 Project I StarterKit. This project defines an Cube, Vertex and Fragment Shaders, Texture and uses the GLM Math Library to perform transformations. As such its a completed 3D cube project with rotations. Modify this example and experiment with rotate, scale and translate functions (see https://glm.g-truc.net/0.9.2/api/a00245.html#ga4683c446c8432476750ade56f2537397)

What is this repository for?

• Lab 12 Experiment with a Cube Texturing All Sides Textured

How do I get set up?

• Clone repository
• Ensure SFML_SDK environment variable exits
• Ensure SFML Version SFML 2.3.2 Visual C++ 14 (2015) - 32-bit is installed http://www.sfml-dev.org/files/SFML-2.3.2-windows-vc14-32-bit.zip "SFML-2.3.2-windows-vc14-32-bit.zip"
• Download extensions wrangler GLEW from http://glew.sourceforge.net/index.html and obtain Binaries for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit
  • FreeGLUT can be used as an alternative to GLEW http://freeglut.sourceforge.net
• Set environment variable for GLEW
  • Follow this guide https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/310519
  • Alternatively SET GLEW_SDK="C:\Users\#####\glew-1.13.0-win32\glew-1.13.0"
• To check environment variable is set correctly open a command prompt and type echo %GLEW_SDK% the path to glew sdk should be show.
• Download GLM Math Library from https://github.com/g-truc/glm/tags
• Set environment variable for GLM
  • Follow this guide https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/310519
  • Alternatively SET GLM_SDK="C:\Users\#####\glm-0.9.7.2"
• Select a project default target x86 when running executable
• If the project builds but does not xcopy the required dll's try moving your project to a directory you have full access to, see http://tinyurl.com/SFMLStarter for a guide on post build events.
