Chess2RT [](https://github.com/PetarKirov/Chess2RT/actions)
========
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).
Performance statistics
----------------------
Available [here](https://github.com/ZombineDev/Chess2RT/blob/master/perf-results.md).
Build Instructions
------------------
1. Install what's needed (if you haven't yet):
+ [D][1] compiler with frontend >= **v2.071.1** (e.g. [DMD][2])
+ [dub][3] package manager >= **v1.0.0**
+ [SDL 2][4] binaries >= **v2.0.0** (SDL 2.0.3 DLLs are included for windows)
2. Git clone:
```
git clone https://github.com/ZombineDev/Chess2RT.git
```
3. Run DUB:
```
cd ./Chess2RT
dub
```
Scene files
-----------
Scene files are written in [SDLang][5] 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//chess2rt --file=data/scene1.sdl
```
+ place the path to scene you wish to load in `data/default_scene.path` and call chess2rt without arguments.

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][4] (SDL 2.0.3 binaries for Windows x86 and x86_64
are included in `lib/`)
+ [GFM][6] (package on http://code.dlang.org)
+ [SDLang-D][5] (package on http://code.dlang.org)
