3.2 Applications Overview

This section provides a quick overview of the various applications which are bundled with Crystal Space. In some cases, more detailed information for a particular application may be found in subsequent sections.

Most of these applications provide a basic description on how to use them by launching them along with the ‘--help’ parameter.

joytest

A test application on the use of joysticks.

levtool

todo

lghtngtest

todo

lighter2

Tool to compute static lighting for a CrystalSpace world. See section Using lighter2.

maya2spr

todo

mazing

A tutorial application. See section Mazing Tutorial: Small Game.

md32spr

todo

mdl2spr

This application is a Quake ‘.mdl’ and ‘.md2’ model converter. It converts model files into native Crystal Space sprites. See section Quake Model Converter (mdl2spr).

optimisedata

todo

partconv

todo

pathtut

todo

phystut

An application to test and demonstrate the use of the physics plugin. See section Collision Detection and Physics.

pysimp

An extremely simple example demonstrating use of the Python plug-in module.

shadertut

A tutorial on the usage of shaders.

shagnetron

todo

simdtest

todo

simpcd

todo

simple1

A tutorial application. See section Simple Tutorial 1: Basic Setup, World Creation. The code of this application is a good candidate if you want to test some piece of code.

simple2

A tutorial application. See section Simple Tutorial 2: Adding a Mesh. The code of this application is a good candidate if you want to test some piece of code.

simplept

todo

simpmap

A tutorial application. See section Simple Tutorial 3: Map Loading, Collision Detection.

simpvs

todo

sndtest

An application for testing the Crystal Space SNDSYS sound system.

startme

The main demonstration application, providing access to many Crystal Space's demos.

threadtest

A test application on the threaded loader.

tri3dtest

A test application on the automatic triangulation of a mesh.

unittest

todo

viewmesh

A tool to preview Crystal Space models and libraries. See section Previewing Models (viewmesh).

vsh

This is the test application for the Virtual File System (VFS). It works very similar to the standard Unix shell programs. See section Virtual File System (VFS).

walktest

The quintessential Crystal Space test program. ‘walktest’ is the test harness for most of the features which get added to the engine. It is not necessarily a good programming example, but if you are interested in seeing an engine feature in action, this is probably the place to look. See section Walktest, the Basic Test Application.

waterdemo

A demonstration application, showing how to modify dynamically a material to achieve a water animation.

waterdemo2

A demonstration application about the 'ocean' watermesh. See section Watermesh Mesh Object.

wxtest

A demonstration application showing how to use the iWxWindow plugin.
