Week 7: Demo Day, 3D Rendering

• Collision beyond AABBs, for example GJK collision or sphere-swept-volume collisions
• Particle system effects
• Fancy math—use rotors + bivectors for angular orientation and velocity/momentum
• Fancy physics—rigidbodies, cloth, joints, physical particles, …
• Mixed 2D/3D with interesting camera effects
• Multiple graphics pipelines, off-screen render targets, reflections, or related effects
• Advanced animation systems, e.g.:
  • Blend trees, additive blending, etc
  • Inverse kinematics
  • Procedural animation
• AI characters that communicate and/or cooperate
• Gameplay-relevant shadows and lighting
• Shaders that relate to gameplay, e.g. to show characters obscured by walls
  • Using shaders written in rust-gpu
• Decals or related effects
• Destructible/modifiable terrain
• Voxels
• Infinite Level of Detail
• Streaming loading/unloading of assets
• Spatial audio, footfalls, and 3D audio sources, tied into gameplay
• Networking
• Supporting 2D games from the previous unit using this engine
• Reuse substantial code from 2D engine
• Sub games/turn taking/menus/modal UI
• Save/load progress
• A million objects live at once

Your Unit 2 games are due before the scheduled final exam.
