Space pirates is a 3D game developed with WebGL2. The main goal is to collect the required amount of space rocks that
are scattered in the planets atmosphere.
You can pick on which planet you will play there are 3 options (Moon, Alien and Tropical). The goal of the game doesn't change you still have to collect space rocks. There are 25 gold, 3 emerald and 92 (normal rocks - these slow you down and give you a time penalty).
The plane model is a GLTF file exproted from Blender, everything else is a normal texture that is generated as a raw WebGL model.
For mountains we use height maps which are stored as .avif files and are then parsed by a WebGL shader.
The game has a very simple movement system; it's all based on rotating a sphere in the desired direction. The rotations are done with Quaternions to avoid an effect called gimbal lock.
The game was a part of a computer-graphics seminar on FRI.
The only requirement is Node which you need to run the server. Just type: npm start and enjoy.
