Introduction
During lunch break at high school, the computer lab filled with all the geeks that weren’t out chattin’-it-up in the courtyard. The popular game to play was Jippii Minigolf. We would play on the jippii.com or jippii.co.uk servers, and several tournaments would be played simultaneously. It was a very addicting game.
The Concept
I had finished learning C++ from all my TI-89 Graphic Calculator projects, and I wanted to make something for the PC. I saw how popular this game was, so I decided to try my hand at OpenGL graphics and recreate Jippii Minigolf, in 3d!
The Project
Being that it was my first windows C++ / OpenGL program, made in highschool, it actually came out really well. But by any and all standards it’s an unfinished, demo. I am very sad that I lost a much more complete version compiled on my lap top. I thought I had a back up, but it was erased during a reformat. This is the only version that is still around, and I have no intention of trying to redo the code =/. Note that the weather has no effect on game play.
On a side note: I didn’t sync the gameplay with the system clock, instead I timed everything around how it executed on my local maching. D’oh. So if you have a high end machine, this game will run too fast for you. But that’s okay, its not really worth playing, since its incomplete.
