Graphics , Newton for Physics and Audiere for sound.It will be done in not more than 2 minutes, so that beginners get started with learning about game engine rather wandering wastefully in the forums and web.
On To how to integrate audiere with OGRE , see my tutorial elsewhere in forum “Adding Sound to OGRE in 2 Seconds : Tutorial” or go to this link
http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=18176
Now we are left with integrating Physics,
Unpack NewtonSDK,
In Anjuta(Linux), Go Settings->CompilerandLinkerSettings and add full path to include and library paths . I had for e.g. /home/rohit/newtonSDK/sdk
In Libraries ,
Add Newton (Youll see OgreMain and audiere already there if you followed the tutorial)
Now to your main.cc file add statement1 2 and 3 (from my OGRE+audiere tutorial)
Or simply paste following code.
#include "ExampleApplication.h"
#include “Newton.h” //statement1
#include “audiere.h”
using namespace audiere;
static NewtonWorld *myworld; //statement2
AudioDevicePtr device(OpenDevice());
OutputStreamPtr song(OpenSound(device,”songname.mp3orwhatever”,false));
class Game : public ExampleApplication
{
void createScene()
{
Entity *robo;
robo = mSceneMgr->createEntity( "Robot", "robot.mesh" );
SceneNode *node1;
node1= mSceneMgr->getRootSceneNode()->createChildSceneNode( "RobotNode" );
node1->attachObject( robo );
song->setVolume(0.5f);
song->play();
}
};
int main()
{
myworld=NewtonCreate(NULL,NULL); //statement3
Game mygame;
mygame.go();
return 0;
}
Build and Execute .
Obviously , this will do nothing else than creating a pointer to Newton world and creating it . But if all works then you have a full fledged GameEngine in your hands
and it will definitely get you started on your way quickly to game programming.On windows (say devcpp) procedure should be same as far as including header files and libraries paths are concerned.
***Remember to make your examples in newtonsdk by typing make in the samples folder to explore possibilities***
***Tips---OGRE+audiere can be easily used to create Great Animated Music Videos and
OGRE+Newton+Audiere = FullBlownGameEngine
I hope It gets Some of You Started in the World of game programming
in no time.
Any Doubts
GoodBye !
