Need code for a Rubik cube written in c++ and opengl
Each object in my world has a local axis coordinate system, defined by three vectors. As the objects move, I rotate them around either a local axis or around a world axis. The end result are 3...
I am a beginner of openGL, my question is that I am going to create a scene and initially viewer is at (0,0,0) and looks at (0,0,1), suppose Y is vertical axis, I should move viewer parallel t...
