CSC 471 Final Project - Winter 2004 (Dr. Wood)
Project Description
This project attempts to simulate crowd behavior by having a mass
of humanoid figures follow a leader and attempt to avoid obstacles (tear gas).
Features include:
- Several hundred autonomous humanoid figures; try to follow leader without running through tear gas
- 'Particle System' tear gas simulation
- 'Heads-up Display' showing high-level overview map
- Randomized figures; slightly parameterized features, speed
- Control the leader, or let it run around randomly
- Running motions based on simple oscillation functions
Usage
The main control is through the mouse - move the selection square on the landscape, and then use
left click to send the leader there, or right click to put the tear gas
there. Additionally, the following keyboard keys may be used:
- d/a - adjust camera yaw
- w/s - adjust camera pitch
- r/f - adjust camera distance
- ARROW KEYS - translate camera
- l - toggle camera chase mode
- m - toggle "auto lead"
- 1 - toggle "heads up" map view
- 2 - toggle fog
- ESC - quit
