Voxel Flight Simulator
A simple game developed for the purposes of both showcasing interesting features of sparse-voxel-octree raycasting and to utilize the Vulkan graphics API in a project. Written in Rust, I decided to use the crate Vulkano to access Vulkan API through a Rust-friendly wrapper. Original .NET version written in F# is archived here.
