# Basic Flight

Simple flight simulation application showcasing basic arcball-like physics and sphere collisions. Built using Qt and rendered with OpenGL.

The flight is simulated using adhoc linear algebra primitives and calculations (e.g.: matrix transformations).

The plane can collide against the floor or lava bombs erupting from a small volcano.

## Controls

| Key(s)                  | Action                                |

|-------------------------|---------------------------------------|

| `A` / `S`               | Pitch down and up by 3°               |

| `Q` / `E`               | Roll left and right by 3°             |

| `W` / `D`               | Yaw left and right by 3°              |

| `+` / `-`               | Increase and decrease                 |

| `X`                     | Close the application                 |

## Technologies

* **C++**: `>= C++17`

* **Qt**: `5.12.x`

* **OpenGL**: `>= 4.0`

Newer versions of Qt might work correctly, if no breaking changes that affect the application were introduced.
