Chess2RT

A raytracer renderer, written in D, which will eventually be used for a
3d rendered chess game (and/or a variation of it).

What works

Simple geometry objects: spheres, cubes and a horizontal plane.
CSG combinations of supported geometry objects (including CSG objects).
Procedural textures.
Lambert and Phong shading.
Loading scenes from .sdl or .json files. You can find sample scene files in data/.
Interactive camera movement (←, ↑, →, ↓ for movement, Shift + ←, Shift + ↓, Shift + →, Shift + ↓ for mouse look, Ctrl + ←, Ctrl + → for rotation and Ctrl + ↑, Ctrl + ↓ for up and down moving).

Build Instructions

Install what's needed (if you haven't yet):
- D compiler with frontend >= v2.071.1 (e.g. DMD)
- dub package manager >= v1.0.0
- SDL 2 binaries >= v2.0.0 (SDL 2.0.3 DLLs are included for windows)

Git clone:

git clone https://github.com/ZombineDev/Chess2RT.git

Run DUB:
```
cd ./Chess2RT
dub
```

Scene files

Scene files are written in SDLang or JSON and are usually put in the data/ folder.
To render a specific scene you can either:

call the app from the command-line like this:

./Chess2RT/bin/<OS>/chess2rt --file=data/scene1.sdl

place the path to scene you wish to load in data/default_scene.path and call chess2rt without arguments.

Compatibility

	Linux	Windows
DMD 64
DMD 32
LDC 64

DMD (reference D compiler) >= 2.071.1
LDC (LLVM D Compiler) >= 1.1.0-beta2.

Acknowledgement

I developed this project for the 3D Graphics and Raytracing course at fmi.uni-sofia.
Most of the code in ./source/rt/ is based on https://github.com/anrieff/trinity/.

This project uses:

SDL 2 (SDL 2.0.3 binaries for Windows x86 and x86_64
are included in lib/)
GFM (package on http://code.dlang.org)
SDLang-D (package on http://code.dlang.org)
