An attempt to recreate a (very limited) subset of the popular game "Minecraft", delving deeper and deeper into OpenGL and modern C++ along the way.
- A controllable free-floating camera
- A quad tree for efficient querying of chunk info
- Chunks only generated when first seen
- Only rendering chunks in a radius around the player
- Chunk geometry loaded on a separate thread
- Transparent and semi-transparent blocks (leaves, water)
- Seeded terrain generation based on simplex noise
- Two renderers - one based on glDrawElementArrays, and one based on instancing
- Simple sky block
- Day and night cycle with dynamic lighting during sunset and dusk
- Jumping and swimming
- GitHub Actions pipeline for Linux and MacOS
