This is a basic solarsystem simulation written in C++ opengl .
This is a project for the course Computer Graphics 1 in the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications , Athens(Greece). It consists of 2 main files and 1 header for the function/struct declarations . The main.cpp file has code for initializing the program with openGL functions and also a matrix initialization for the stars of the solar system.
After all the initialization we continue with the main project , in which we have a file that gives us the Objects (planets to be rendered in the program) and also we create small little stars and one big star ( the sun ) .
There is also a function to control the camera and the animation in the project called "Keyboard" , and some other extra utilies like zoom on a planet or zoom in/out of where the camera is positioned.
