A joystick is highly recommended but not required. If a joystick is present, Vamos will use it. If not you can drive with keys or with the mouse, but the car will be harder to control. An accelerated video card is required. If you don't get a frame rate well above 20 frames/second, the simulation will not work correctly. Vamos currently uses OpenGL, the OpenGL Utility Library (GLU), and the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) for graphics. These libraries and headers must be present to compile Vamos. For joystick handling and sound, PLIB version 1.4 or later must be installed. To make GLUT's callback mechanism play nicely with C++ code, Libsigc++ version 1.2.0 or later must also be installed. Also, you will need a C++ compiler that can handle namespaces. GCC version 2.96 or later should do. |
