An isometric projection of a grid that rotates when pressing Right or Left arrow
Raise The Terrain is a voluntary project at Holberton School taking part of the "Low-level programming & Algorithm" projects.
It is created using the C programming Language and SDL2.
- The program reads the file "altitudes".
- Gets the altitude of each point.
- Draws an isometric projection of a grid (64 connected points). Each point has its x, y and z coordinates (z = altitude).
- Rotates the grid to Right or Left, when the user presses on Right or Left arrow.
- Quits when the user presses ESC key or when clicks on window Quit button.
You can run this program by following these steps:
Step 1: Clone my repository using this command, (you need to have git, gcc and SDL2 installed on your machine first)
git clone https://github.com/MatriMariem/Raise_the_terrain
Step 2: Change directory to Raise_the_terrain:
cd Raise_the_terrain
Step 3: Compile the C files in this way:
gcc *.c -lm $(sdl2-config --cflags --libs) -o terrain
Step 4: Run the program
./terrain altitudes
Exiting the program When you want to exit the program, you can use one of the following methods:
1: Click on window close button
exit
2: Press on ESC key
- You can change the name of the program by typing it instead of "terrain" in compilation step (Step 3).
- You can change altitudes of the points of the grid by editing the file "altitudes" but make sure to keep the same number of integers in the file.
- You can also change the name of the file "altitudes" but make sure to give the new name of the file to your program when you run it "./terrain ".
- altitudes -> altitudes of all points in the grid
- terrain.c -> main function
- terrain.h -> header file
- fn_altitudes.c -> all functions related to getting altitudes
- _atoi -> converts a string to an integer
- _strdup -> copies a string in a newly allocated memory area
- splitstring -> creates an array of words from a string
- freearv -> frees an array of words
- get_altitudes -> reads the file of altitudes
- makegrid.c
- allocategrid -> allocates memory for a (8x8) grid
- makegrid -> creates a simple grid
- makerow -> fills the rows of a simple grid
- makecol -> fills the columns of a simple grid
- makeiso -> makes a grid become isometric
- all_grid.c
- All_isogrid -> creates and draws an isometric grid
- Drawgrid -> draws a grid on the renderer
- makerot -> rotates the points of a grid
- rotategrid -> creates a grid, rotates its points and draws it
- free.c
- freegrid -> frees the allocated memory of a (8x8) grid
- freenumbers -> frees a 2D array (8x8) of integers
- Destroy_Quit -> destroys the Renderer and the window and Quits
No Known Bugs.
