Voxel Chunk Greedy Meshing Example with ECS

example is 6x6x6 chunks that are 16x16x16 voxels (mesh is aware of other chunks):

Features :

• E.C.S. > Entity Component System Game Engine Yoiked Random ideas from DivotKey
• Multi threaded Greedy Meshing of 16x16x16 chunk data
• Data compression in mesh VBO's the idea giver guy
• Per Block type Textures (from Minecraft Game) minecraft.net (dont sue me plx its an old asset)

Usage

Its an Eclipse project.

• Download Eclipse if you dont have it (for Java developers)
• Download the Dependencies below
• Import the project folder into eclipse ( this repo folder)
• Right Click Project > Properties > Java Build Path
  • Setup LWJGL3 paths in a library by replacing the LWJGL3 if its missing
  • drag n drop slick-utils3 and command-lang3 into "lib/" folder or adjust path urself.

Controls

• w -> move fowards
• s -> move backwards
• left_shift -> speed up
• e -> toggle wireframe mesh
• escape -> close

Dependencies

• Commons-lang3 3.12.0 used
• slick-util3 used the fork floating around
• LWJGL3

Note

I am not working on this anymore, wont be. It's a garbage way of doing things IMO. Flaws :

• "slow"
• • too many meshes
• • too many single blocks in memory, generalize the voxel data and not just the mesh, especially air....
• • greedy meshing.... slow. Sorry, I said it. Still might use it unless I get smarter.
• • OpenGL (depr. macOs)
• ugly texture repeat because no softening on atlas mapping
• Didn't follow ECS all the way through and made objects.
