The goal here is to create a graphics engine in the style of minecraft, with total control of terrain generation. For starters the goal currently is not to have destructible terrain. It should be usable as a basis for participation in GameJams. Along the way I want to learn:

  1. Mesh generation/handling/modification
  2. Terrain generation
  3. FPS & 3rd person camera
  4. ...
  5. ...
  6. networking support for multiplayer

Current timings

compileShader took              4.465966ms
compileShader took              269.372µs
newProgram took                 6.134061ms
NewMeshFromFile took            12.344038ms
    NewObjModelFromFile took    10.254944ms
        ToIndexedModel took     1.53439ms
            Mesh init took      509.496µs

Immediate next tasks

  • Meshing
  • OBJ loader
  • Figure out why the drawing is not working from the Mesh
  • Change to my window code
  • Use mouse to rotate camera eventually?
  • Test if windows binary is still working
  • MagicaVoxel imports

Look into this:
