Back to project overview Welcome To The Universe

During the course computer graphics, we got a small project to understand the handling of rotation
in OpenGL. In this project, there were three spheres, symbolizing earth, moon and sun. I added mars,
his moons, then the rest of the planets of our solar system. After that, the planets got the right
textures and the background got some nice space textures, too. Finally, the planets started to rotate
correctly around the sun (of course, in a very fast forward way...).
I continued to use this project for the course graphic programming and implemented a
2D-Spaceship control, a simple cockpit-view and a collision box for the sun. The final
task was to implement a collision routine for earth (that could be used for the other
planets as well).
