The DirectX3D Tank Game is a 3D action game where players control a tank on a battlefield and engage in dynamic combat with enemy tanks. The project demonstrates essential 3D game development skills, including real-time rendering, collision detection, physics handling, and user interaction, utilizing DirectX 3D.

This game was designed as a team project for college assigment with DirectX 3D & OOP.

Develop environment: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) Graphic API: DirectX 12

• Tank Controls: Smooth and responsive controls for navigating and aiming.
• Real-Time Rendering: Real-Time graphics rendering using DirectX 3D.
• Collision Detection: Accurate collision handling between tanks, projectiles and obstacles
• Dual Mode: Two players can take turns to play.
• Perspective: The perspective includes first-person, third-person, and overhead views, with the first-person perspective particularly resembling the view from within the tank itself.
• Camera Movement: The camera follows the projectile, creating a dynamic camera view.

• DirectX 3D: For graphics rendering and creating the 3D environment.
• C++: Primary programming language.
