3D voxel world represented only by 3D cubes in the spirit of Minecraft.

Mastercraft

The goal of this project is to realize a 3D voxel world represented only by 3D cubes in the spirit of Minecraft.

Prerequisites

To run Mastercraft, you need:

• CMake >= 3.7
• SDL2 >= 2.0.2
• OpenGL >= 3.3
• GLEW >= 2.1.0

Compilation

The compilation is done through CMake :

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Compilation has been tested with g++ = 10.2.0 and clang++ = 11.0.0.

The program is launch with the compiled executable mastercraft.

./mastercraft

Manual

• Movement :

  • W : Move forward.
  • S : Move backward.
  • A : Strafe left.
  • D : Straft right.
  • CTRL : Move downward.
  • SPACE : Move upward.
  • Use the mouse to look around.

• Miscellaneous :

  • ESC To exit the application.
  • E To switch between day / night.
  • F1 : Show/Hide debug menu.
  • LEFT ALT : Free mouse cursor.

Some notes :

• Controls should adapt to your keyboard layout.
• Disabling occlusion culling or increasing distance view a lot will heavily impact performance.
• Framerate may be overridden by your GPU / OpenGL configuration.

Work done

• Infinite world built from 2D and 3D noises.
• Multiple biomes also generated from 2D noises.
• Multiple kind of tree.
• Transparent textures (water, leaves).
• Animated texture (water).
• Occlusion culling.
• Dynamic skybox.
• Dynamic lighting (sun's position, underwater).

To do

• Loading SuperChunk on another thread (to avoid freeze on main loop)
• Frustum culling
• Fog to hide world's boundaries
