Interactive Solar System is a game engine built from the ground up that simulates the solar system. The engine was built from ‘scratch’ using OpenGL, GLFW,  C++, and GLSL. These are the features that I developed:

• A 3D renderer with bloom (for the Sun), Blinn Phong shading, skybox, HDR, gamma correction, and a snapshot system.
• A Scenegraph data structure to represent hierarchical relationships between transformations applied to a set of objects within the scene.
• A custom math library with vectors, matrices, and quaternions.
• An orbit camera to explore the scene.
• Scene serialization and deserialization.
• Animation for the movements of the planets.
• A custom-made .obj loader, that allows us to create meshes.
