Final Project Requirements: design and implement your own game, singly or in groups of two or three.
Track is a no-frills 3D rail shooter. Your only job is to survive while following a predetermined flightpath, and in the process, accumulate as many points as you can. Press the left mouse button to fire a powerful missile that tracks enemies and the right mouse button to fire an anti-projectile laser beam. Enemies are set to indefinite spawn, so good luck.
SnowKing Palace is a Descent style ship flying game where you can move in 3D and are charged with the task of infiltrating the evil SnowKing's palace and assassinating him. Recently the SnowKing has gained power over the weather, and of course has produced a never-ending snow over the land. The towns in the area have hired you to enter his palace and remove the SnowKing so that the land might be returned to its former state. Be careful however, the SnowKing has been informed you are on the premises and has rallied his troops and is prepared for you. You must fight your way through the entrance hall, dark passageways, a battle in the courtyard, a dungeon, and eventually meet the SnowKing himself for a showdown. Get ready for a snowball fight!
The tutorial shows how Newtonian physics can be applied to a system of particles and forces. Each particle has a small mass and its velocity is influenced by gravity and other forces, providing realistic---and surprisingly complex---movement. The tutorial shows particles simulating three water fountains, two with gravity applied and one without (just for fun). It has two modes: design and render mode. Design mode allows the user to update the particle and force characteristics in realtime and render mode applies texturing etc. to give a visually pleasing result.

In SnowFight you simply aim with the mouse holding down the right mouse button and then press space bar to shoot. You can press '+' and '-' keys to adjust your throw strength. Features include a particle system which generates snow flakes, a physics and collision detection engine which simulate real world physics, sphere environment mapping and other tricks which give the illusion of reflective surfaces on objects and the ground.
Space hoops is a basic flying game. The object of the game is to use the arrow keys to maneuver a spaceship through a track of hoops without hitting the edges. Successfully flying through a hoop will cause a green ball to light up and gain the player 10 points. If the edge of a hoop is hit it will light up red and cause the player to lose life force points. Once a player has lost 3 lives their ship explodes GAMEOVER. One trick to the game is, the green balls will sucked the ship through the hoop at a faster rate so you must make sure you have entered the hoop in the best possible position otherwise it will suck you straight into the hoop itself. At anytime you can increase you speed of flying using the number keys or reset/quit the game by left clicking with the mouse over the appropriate word.
