Shady Chess

The goal of this homework is to add a simple GLSL shader program to your chess game.

Technical Requirements

• This homework is worth a total of 3 points.

• For 2 points credit, add the provided "x-ray effect" vertex shader and fragment shader to the board and all the pieces in your chess game.
  • See lecture notes for jME primitives to use.
  • Add shader to root node to affect all graphical objects in the scene.

• For an additional 1 point, add the x-ray effect to only the black pieces (not the board) and find some (any) other simple GLSL shader on the web and add it to the white pieces.

• Due to the very small size of the code, there will not be the usual 20% for software engineering. However, make sure you properly include and load your shader programs and follow the instructions to check your jar files before submission. Non-working jar files will not be graded!

Please post any questions to the myWPI discussion board for the course.
