Games::3D is a package containing an object system for (not only) 3D games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::3D::World;

my $world = Games::3D::World->new();

$world->save_to_file( $filename );

my $loaded = Games::3D::world->load_from_file( $filename );

my $thing1 = $world->add ( Games::3D::Thingy->new( ... ) );
my $thing2 = $world->add ( Games::3D::Thingy->new( ... ) );

$world->link($thing1, $thing2);

Games::3D::World provides you with a container class that will contain every object in your game object system. This are primarily objects that have states, change these states and need to announce the states to other objects.

The Games::3D::World container also enables you to save and restore snapshots of your objects system.

Basic things that you object system contains are derived from a class called Games::3D::Thingy. These can represent physical objects (buttons, levers, doors, lights etc) as well as virtual objects (trigger, sensors, links, markers, sound sources etc).

You can link Thingys together, either directly or via Games::3D::Links. The links have some more features than direct linking, which are explained below.

This package also provides you with Games::3D::Sensor, a class for objects that sense state changes and act upon them. Or not, depending on the sensor. Sensors are primarily used to watch for certain conditions and then act when they are met. Examples are the death of an object, values that go below a certain threshold etc.

State changes are transported in the object system with signals.

Pizza Game project is a 3D, real-time game in which you manage a pizza restaurant.
As manager, you must build a restaurant, buy the various objects and furniture that the restaurant requires, hire/fire/manage your employees, buy advertising, buy ingredients, set prices, and make sure your restaurant keeps your customers happy.
You start out with nothing more than an empty lot and a loan. Will you transform that lot into a thriving pizza business or fail to attract customers and watch your debt pile up?
Main features:
- Build your restaurant by placing walls, putting in doorways, installing windows.
- Decorate your restaurant by choosing from numerous paint colors and wallpaper designs.
- Put in tiles for your floors by choosing from a large selection of colors and designs.
- Buy the items and objects that your restaurant needs: tables, chairs, ovens, lights, and various miscellaneous objects that can make your restaurant the pizza parlor of choice for customers.
- Hire (and fire) the right employees that will perform the necessary tasks for running a pizza restaurant.
- Manage advertising for your pizza business.
- Buy the necessary ingredients for making pizzas and selling money-making side orders.
- Choose the opening and closing times for your restaurant in order to have your restaurant operate most efficiently.

Transcend Game project is a retro-style, abstract, collage-building, musical, shooter game.
The graphics are geometrical, and the pace is sometimes frenzied. Two features set Transcend apart from other games.
First, its dynamic graphical engine, which can smoothly morph from one complex shape to another in realtime, produces striking displays.
Combining these dynamic shapes with subtle randomizations ensures that each new play through a level is visually different from the last.
The second novel feature is the musical power-up system.
As you play through a level, you are simultaneously assembling an abstract visual collage and arranging a unique piece of music.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bugs that caused post-explosion fade factors to become negative, which in turn caused boss explosions to linger on some platforms.
- Fixed zoom behavior when strafing.
- Added fade-in when enemies are created to avoid a visual pop-in.
- Added smooth turning when enemies switch targets.
- Changed so that pieces can be picked up while they are moving as a result of enemy fire. This makes pick up less confusing and frustrating.
- Made bullet fade-out smoothly at end of range to avoid visual pop.
- Doubled piece pick-up radius to make picking up pieces easier.
- Fixed jerky piece pick-up and drop.
- Added mini-explosion graphics to indicate when damage is being done to boss. These graphics also change color to indicate the boss health.
