Detailed Description

Moon

Moon renders a moon model surrounded by a set of small pyramids and a starfield. It is a model-viewer style scene that shows how to combine multiple meshes, a custom fragment shader, and sprite-based space effects.

Inputs

• -p <path> or --path <path> - asset root, usually handled automatically by run.pl
• --filename <file> - optional model override for the moon mesh
• -S <path> or --shader-path <path> - optional shader override path
• -r <WxH> or --resolution <WxH> - window resolution
• -f or --fullscreen - fullscreen mode

Controls

• Escape - quit
• Space - toggle automatic spin
• Left mouse drag - orbit the camera around the moon
• Mouse wheel - zoom in or out

How It Works

The sample loads moon.obj and pyramid.obj from the example data directory, then renders them with the shared model pipeline from model_example. The custom moon fragment shader can be swapped independently through the shader path argument.

The pyramids are positioned relative to the moon rotation so the whole scene reads like a small orbital diorama. A starfield sprite is layered behind the models to give the scene depth without requiring a separate skybox implementation.
