Train Journey View using OpenGL

Overview

The Train Journey View project is a simulation created using OpenGL, designed to showcase a train journey in a graphical 3D environment. This project demonstrates the use of computer graphics techniques to render realistic scenes, objects, and animations, making it an ideal learning tool for OpenGL enthusiasts and developers.

Features

• 3D Environment Simulation: Realistic rendering of a train journey with dynamic objects and landscapes.
• Interactive Controls: Users can interact with the simulation to adjust the view or navigate the scene.
• Lighting and Texturing: Includes realistic lighting and textures for enhanced visual appeal.
• Animation: Simulates train movement and other dynamic elements in the environment.
• Scenic Elements: Features surroundings like trees, tracks, and stations to enrich the experience.

Technologies Used

• Programming Language: C++
• Graphics Library: OpenGL

Prerequisites

To run this project, ensure you have:

• A C++ compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang, or Visual Studio).
• OpenGL libraries installed.
• A compatible system with support for OpenGL.

Installation and Setup

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/shishir786/Train-journy-view-using-open_gl-.git
   cd Train-journy-view-using-open_gl-

2. Install Dependencies Ensure OpenGL libraries and development tools are installed on your system.

   On Ubuntu/Debian:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install build-essential freeglut3-dev libglew-dev

   On Windows: Install OpenGL libraries via an IDE like Visual Studio or Code::Blocks.

   On macOS:

   brew install glew glfw

3. Compile the Project Use a C++ compiler to compile the source files. For example:

   g++ -o train_journey main.cpp -lGL -lGLU -lglut

4. Run the Application

   ./train_journey

Usage

1. Launch the Application: Start the executable to view the train journey simulation.
2. Interactive Features: Use keyboard and mouse controls to navigate the scene or adjust the view.
3. Exit: Close the application by exiting the simulation window.

Future Enhancements

• Expand Scenery: Add more elements like rivers, bridges, or tunnels.
• Enhanced Interaction: Implement camera controls or additional user inputs.
• Optimization: Improve rendering performance for larger environments.
