Minecraft style voxel terrain engine made from scratch using OpenGL in C++.
This project is done in collaboration with my programming partner Liam Dehaudt during our visit at Unit Factory in Kiev, Ukraine. I am in charge of the Perlin noise terrian/block type and cave generation, ground-movement stablization, day/night change, shaders and art.
- Snow, rock, grass and sand block type
- Transparent water
- Trees
- Caves and overhangs
- Different player modes
- Day-Night shift
- Runs at >~ 50 FPS in full screen mode on iMac
- Virtually infinite map (larger than what one can possible visit in days, then it might start to repeat after that)
- Rendering over 160 blocks at any direction at any given time, which make 26214400 (320 * 320 * 256) possiblly visiable blocks in view
Run make to compile. Needed libraries will be downloaded and an executable will be created.
Run with:
./Vox [-r | seed(integer)]
Where the terrain will be generated deterministically based on the seed given.
-r option will use random seed (based on current time)
Mouse movement Controls the angle/direction of the camera
-WASD Move camera (exact movement based on the mode below)
-1 Glider mode (fly directions according to mouse angle)
-2 Run mode (run on the ground with 'WASD' keys and mouse)
-3 Classic minecraft flying mode (in addition to WASD, we have Space for up and Shift for down)
-4 Snail mode (moves one grid per second on the ground, able to enter caves)
