This is an interactive world written in C++ and OpenGL. It was my final project for my graphics course.

I wanted to create a surrealist world inspired by the artworks of Georgio De Chirico and Yves Tanguy. To create the atmosphere of these proto-surrealist paintings, I had to create a world that is both unsettling and strangely serene. To do that, I focused on three elements that are common to all the paintings:

• Vast open space
• Harsh Mediterranean sunlight and harsh shadows
• Strange juxaposition of objects

The resulting world features a vast space to walk around in, floating spheres, a day/night cycle, and a bleeding Venus.

• Procedurally generated world
• Shadows done with shadow mapping
• Day/night cycle
• Particle system
• Simple 3D collision detection
