A simple 3D cube rotation visualization project built using C and SDL2. This project demonstrates 3D transformations, rotations, and rendering onto a 2D surface.
- Renders a 3D cube onto a 2D screen.
- Simulates rotation of the cube around the X, Y, and Z axes.
- Lightweight, using the SDL2 library for rendering.
- SDL2: A cross-platform development library designed to provide low-level access to hardware via OpenGL or Direct3D.
The program creates a cube in 3D space and renders it on a 2D screen using a perspective projection. Here’s a breakdown of the functionality:
- Cube Structure (
struct Cube):- Defined with 8 vertices and 12 triangular faces.
- Rotation Logic (
rotate_cube):- Applies rotation around the X, Y, and Z axes using trigonometric functions.
- Rendering (
SDL2):- Uses the
SDL2library to visualize the cube and apply rotations in real time.
- Uses the
