OrbitalVector

A space simulator using real orbital physics to explore transportation, communication, and combat based on near-future technologies.

More information can be found on http://orbitalvelocity.github.io/

Getting started:

Install the following dependencies:

• GLEW
• GLFW3
• CMake

##Linux dependencies instructions:

1. clang++ (http://askubuntu.com/questions/509218/how-to-install-clang)

• sudo apt-get install clang-3.5 (or just clang if you're on 12.04)
• sudo ln -s /usr/bin/clang++-3.5 /usr/bin/clang++
• sudo ln -s /usr/bin/clang-3.5 /usr/bin/clang

2. sudo apt-get install libc++-dev

• without this you would get cmath file not found errors

3. glew (http://glew.sourceforge.net/)

• git clone https://github.com/nigels-com/glew.git glew
• cd glew
• make extensions
• make
• sudo make install

4. glfw

• git clone ...
• cd glfw
• cmake .
• make
• sudo make install

5. make sure this is in your LD LIBRARY PATH

• /usr/lib64 /usr/local/lib
• e.g.
• export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

#Downloading

1. git clone https://github.com/orbitalVelocity/OrbitalVector
2. cd OrbitalVector
3. git submodule init
4. git submodule update

#Command line build instructions

##Mac/Linux

1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake ..
4. make -j 4 (if you have 4 cores)
5. cp ../assets/* .
6. cp ../glsl/* .
7. ./orbitalvector

##Xcode build instructions (start in Terminal)

1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake -G Xcode
4. open OrbitalVector.xcodeproj/
5. Now in Xcode, add include/library path to GLEW and GLFW, and glm
6. In build phase, add a move files phase following steps

##Windows/Visual Studio build instructions

1. someone get to work on it
