OpenGL Space Combat And Strategy Game Programming
 

Learning by doing - with a series of game prototypes, we want to demonstrate the fundamentals of OpenGL-based space combat and realtime strategy game programming. Now, prototype 2 has just been released. Fully playable, it covers the basics of a simple realtime strategy space game:

• Procedural galaxy generation
• Rendering of 3D nebulae and stars with texture buffer instancing
• Icon rendering (space ship and solar system icons) with uniform buffer instancing
• Basic starfleet management and ship-to-ship combat simulation
• Dynamic political and economy simulation
• AI simulation (fleet movement, coordinated solar system attacks, etc.) in a separate thread
