VoxelGame Project

Post by mistersatch »

Hello all,

I want to make an opensource VoxelGame sandbox project (like minnecraft gameplay), i'm hope finding some coders who are more easy with the 3D rendering than me. I hope make an "educationnal" project that many young coder can learn with fun. A project that could be moded etc

If you're interested by this project : mistersatch59@gmail.com

Best regards

After a quick google to see what you were interested in I see something called UemeU allows you to create your own worlds with ever-growing library?

With a FreeBasic forum search I see gothom has used voxels.

With OpenB3D, you could load voxel sprites.

Also, you can use CSG functions to combine many cubes into a single mesh.

I just started out with the basics, rendering meshes that consist of textured quads
the fbcraft source can be found here though: https://github.com/fwsGonzo/cppcraft

I rewrote it in c++ because i had some issues here and there that shall not be named :)

If you have any specific questions, you can just ask, but if you are just starting out with game programming you really want to take it easy and learn everything from the beginning, just like everyone else has to do .. :P

It's not like fbcraft is/was my first project
Also, keep in mind that minecraft is over 100k lines of code, even though it might seem like it's something everyone can do, but it's honestly more about endurance and focus than anything else

thank's for you responses and advices !

Can you explain me briefly the matters with your code that you restart from scratch ?

My problem is OpenGL or/and graphic rendering, for the rest i'm a "good" (unpretentious) coder that's my job since 20 years. But i want to do this challenge in memory of my first programs/games in basic in 1984 !
