Farm Rush is a 3D endless runner game developed in C++ and OpenGL.
Heavily inspired by the classic Subway Surfers, this project reimagines the genre in a rural, nocturnal setting. You take control of a tractor charging through an endless farm, dodging hay bales, scarecrows, and horses, all while navigating a world that dynamically curves beneath your wheels.
Project Context: This game was developed for the Introduction to Computer Graphics course, fulfilling the requirements of the 2025 Project Assignment.

- Procedural Level Generation: Utilizes a deterministic pseudo-random hashing algorithm to spawn environmental assets (trees, windmills) and a randomized pooling system for obstacles, ensuring a unique layout for every run.
- Curved World Effect: A custom vertex shader bends the geometry of the world, recreating the iconic "horizon" effect found in Subway Surfers.
- Lighting & Atmosphere: A rich night-time environment featuring toggleable tractor headlights (Low/High Beams), illuminated street lamps, and glowing windmills.
- Shadow Mapping: Implemented custom shadow mapping using Framebuffers and PCF, allowing obstacles to cast dynamic shadows on the ground based on the tractor's high beams.
- Continuous Animations: Features smooth animations including interpolated steering, velocity-based wheel rotation, and dynamic chassis rumble (engine vibration) that intensifies with movement.
- Collision System: Utilizes a radial distance-based detection algorithm to calculate precise impacts between the player and obstacles.
- Progression Mechanics: Distance-based scoring system with dynamic difficulty scaling - the tractor's forward speed automatically increases as the score gets higher.
