SphaeraeExTriangulis

A basic game/test application for the CryoStar Engine

Getting started

Tools needed

  • Visual Studio 2015 (Compatible with Community Edition)
  • Git (Using the Git integration for Visual Studio 2015 is recommended)

Libraries needed

Setup Steps

  1. Clone the project as well as the CryoStar engine project

  2. Make sure that both projects have the same root directory

    e.g.

    ParentFolder
  -CryoStarEngine
    -Source
    -CyroStarEngine.sln
    -...
 -SphaeraeExTriangulis
    -Source
    -SphaeraeExTriangulis.sln
    -...

  3. Open the SphaeraeExTriangulis.sln solution file in Visual Studio

  4. Compile and run the project

What's with the name?

I wanted to name this after a Brown Dwarf star to tie into the naming of CryoStar, but all the Brown Dwarfs have very scientific names like HD 13189 b

So I took the name of a constellation containing a Brown Dwarf, 'Triangulum' and then thought about how games create objects out of triangles.

A sphere made of triangles could represent a Star and therefore I settled on SphearaeExTriangulis - A Sphere of Triangles.

Lastly, 'triangulum' changed to 'triangulis' as I preferred the sound of it.
