core libraries for 3d space game

All the work should be done in a version of Microsoft Visual C++ under WINDOWS. This would ideally be split into separate sub-projects which we would like it to be handled by the same team of programmers / designers or 2 teams working close together. Part 1. this project would be designed to be the core of a 3d space simulation game. It should define the libraries to use the latest DIRECTX and graphic cards enhancements. Should provide functions to draw ships and space background, rotation / movement and various other effects like weapons fire, planets/asteroids/stars etc. Part 2. this part would deal with the designing of the ships and other space objects in a format that will be recognized by popular commercial software and easily integrated into Part 1. ## Deliverables * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Tuesday Jan 24, 2012 7:12:19 AM: Thank you for the bids. Here are some more specifications. Everything should be shown through the viewport which should be either the : bridge of the current ship a view from behind the current ship ( the current ship will also be shown ) the screen should contain : backgrounds like stars or planets other ships various effects ( like weapons fire, explosions, shields and engine effects ) The project should offer to a 3rd party programmer a minimum of functions : - define background ( stars of nebula, etc - image based ) - add/delete objects ( ships, stars, planets, asteroids ) - add effect to object - change object speed / orientation / rotation momentum - add messages/images ( custom drawing ) superposed on the viewport - set screen window where the viewport will be shown - callback notifications for various actions, like mouse, keyboard etc Any freeware ( or reasonably priced ) 3d engine can be used. Targeted platform is windows xp or above. The artwork/3d objects design is the subject of the part 2 ( see description ) of this project. The budget is also pretty much open within reasonable limits with the possibility for the bidder to continue development of the game based on these libraries.
