Worldless issue

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Whenever I try to create a flat world with code I copied off of the voxel.js engine page but nothing shows up. Whenever I tried to use the voxel-perlin-terrain generator i see flashes of the generated world. I also tried to create a sphere with the given code and still nothing. I thought maybe i needed to move the player up with the "player.yaw.postion(x,y,z)" function. The console then gave me an error saying "Object is not a function". I am an amateur programmer so if this is something simple I don't see it.

theres a lot of parts that fit together, so it gets a little confusing.

have you tried this one? https://github.com/maxogden/voxel-hello-world#get-it-running-on-your-machine
try the "Get it running on your machine" part, not the "Using it as a module" part.

feel free to ask more questions here, and if possible include the code you tried.

I know I posted this awhile ago but I just came back to VoxelJS and I'm having the same issue. The actual engine runs but still no world. Here is the code:

var createGame = require('voxel-engine');
var texturePath = require('programmerart-textures')('');
var game = createGame({
   texturePath: texturePath,
   materials: [
    ['blocks/grass_top', 'blocks/dirt', 'blocks/grass_side'],
    'blocks/stone',
    'blocks/dirt']
 });
var createPlayer = require('voxel-player')(game);
var container = document.body;
game.appendTo(container);

var player = createPlayer('player.png');
player.possess();
player.yaw.position.set(0,100,0);

I assumed there would be a default world as the tutorial i was following would specify.

are you seeing any errors in the javascript console?

Looks like it should generate a sphere world.

you can set a different generation mechanism like this

here's some generators to chose from
