Creation 101

Our first task is to load our world. We need a few basic components. First, we need a universe. This universe will contain stars, asteroids, and our space ship. Open up SpaceRacer3D and let's get coding!

Preparing the project

Before we get going, we will need to move some code over from our 2D project. Copy the following files and settings from RoboRacer2D to SpaceRacer3D:

1. Copy Input.cpp and Input.h—we will use these classes to handle user input.

2. Copy Sprite.cpp, Sprite.h, SOIL.h, and SOIL.lib—we will use them to support the user interface in the next chapter. You may need to remove the line #include "stdafx.h" from Sprite.cpp.
