This project is a real-time 3D-like space travel simulation implemented in C++ using the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML). It renders and animates thousands of stars to create an immersive visual experience, simulating movement through space. Inspired by the climactic scene from the classic space opera, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
- Real-Time Star Rendering: Renders and animates thousands of stars in real-time using SFML's graphics modules.
- Depth-Based Effects: Implements depth-based color effects and motion to simulate the stars' distance and create a sense of movement through space.
- Configurable Design: Allows customization of star count, speed, and other parameters through a configuration-based design.
- Optimized Performance: Achieves smooth performance at 144 FPS with 10,000 stars in fullscreen mode.
- Interactive Controls: Allow users to control the camera and adjust the simulation in real-time.
- Advanced Effects: Add particle effects, nebulae, and other celestial objects for a more immersive experience.
