I build a racing game right in OpenGL using Glut, and I'm a bit lost in all the details. First of all, any suggestions as a road map would be more than great.

So far what I thought is this:

  1. Tree implementation for transformations.
  2. Simulated dynamics.(*)
  3. Octree implementation for collision detection.
  4. Actual collision detection.(*)
  5. Modelling in Maya and export them as .OBJs.
  6. Polishing the game with GLSL or something like that for graphics quality.

(*): I am not sure the order of these two.

So I started with the simulated dynamics without tree, and it turned out to be a huge chaos for me. Is there any way you can think of such that could help me to build such tree to use in racing game?

I thought something like this but I have no idea how to implement it.

Reds are static, yellows are dynamic nodes Reds are static, yellows are dynamic nodes

It's a bit vague what's being asked here. It sounds like you should make a few smaller projects first. – Jari Komppa Jan 8 at 9:05
