A lot of people order personalised soundwave prints to hang on their walls, engrave them into rings or make soundwave keyrings. I thought that I could take this fascination with soundwaves into the virtual world and create a completely personal environment for people to enjoy.

At the start of the project, I was supplied with a C++ & OpenGL project that displayed a 3D cube. This code contained everything needed to load and use shaders & textures. As I wanted to start understanding how shaders worked I deleted everything that was provided to me. All my shaders are written at the top of the Project.cpp file as a result.

​

Besides the provided base, I used code from other people for the drawText() function and the libraries. For this project, I used the FreeGLUT and glfw libraries. The assets used are from bensound.com.

As this was my first time using C++ I struggled to figure out how to get the audio to convert into a .csv file. My deadline was approaching quickly so to ensure I could complete as many features as possible I ended up writing pseudocode. I took this code to a family member and we ended up pair coding in python to create a tool to convert the audio files to .csv files.
