2. Load one of the worlds prefixed with sample_ via the editor
3. Switch to game mode

The samples are compatible with IOLITE v0.2.1 and upwards.

Physics (sample_physics)

Example focusing on physics with FPS controls. Showcases the usage of joints to create more complex structures, ragdolls, support structures, etc.

Controls

• Use WASD to move
• Use the mouse to rotate the camera
• Press Space to jump
• Press Left Mouse Button to throw a grenade
• Press E to toggle through different explosion radii
• Press Q to toggle through different thresholds for the hardness
• Press and hold Right Mouse Button to grab voxel shapes and move them around in the scene

Minecraft Map (sample_minecraft_map)

Shows a segment of the Minecraft map Hohenzollern Castle and Kingdom converted to the VOX file format via Avoyd's voxel editor and imported as a scene in IOLITE.

Additional Installation Steps

The .vox scene is provided as a .7z archive.

Please extract hohenzollern_castle_and_kingdom.7z located in sample_minecraft_map/media/voxels first before running the sample.

Minecraft (sample_minecraft)

Minecraft-esque example using a small section imported from Hohenzollern Castle and Kingdom as its world. The sample showcases some of IOLITE's destruction features and uses a voxel size of one meter. Gameplay based on the physics sample; please check the according section in this README for usage instructions.

Audio Spectrum (sample_spectrum)

Showcases the usage of the audio spectrum to create some exciting effects. It also demonstrates how to modify voxel shapes dynamically.
