Behold: it spins

Drew DeVault

I accidentally chose one of the most annoying Minecraft blocks to render properly for my test case, I have sort of faked it for now

dharmik

@drewdevault that is vim, yo?

Drew DeVault

@dharmik yeah

Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell:

@drewdevault Well at least it's still a pure block, unlike stairs/ladders/tall-grass/torches/fences/…

Drew DeVault

@lanodan ladders and tall grass are even easier than blocks as a matter of fact

But the others are annoying for sure

Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell:

@drewdevault Ah maybe on old versions for ladders where it's just a single texture against a block but I think they added some depth few versions latter.

Drew DeVault

@lanodan ah, I see.

Drew DeVault

Behold: you can look

Drew DeVault

Behold: a sprite

Code is a bit messy since I'm remembering how to write OpenGL code in real time as I work on it

Omniscient

@drewdevault Looking good! I keep meaning to try Hare out... how fares development?

erilun06

@drewdevault
Are you recreating Minecraft or just playing around?

Drew DeVault

@erilun06 not sure

Drew DeVault

@omniscient quite well!

Drew DeVault

Behold: some text

Drew DeVault

The obvious next step is to read chunks from disk and generate geometry for them... which is going to be a bit annoying so I might put it off for a bit.

Chip Collier

@drewdevault are you using Hare for this? Linux?

Drew DeVault

@photex yes and yes

Drew DeVault

Added some stuff to the debug overlay to procrastinate generating terrain geometry

(FPS hangs out around 1700 on this machine when vsync is disabled, for the curious)

spxtr

@drewdevault Generating the terrain is so fun though! It's the first point where you get to start making creative decisions, rather than technical decisions.

Drew DeVault

@spxtr *not* terrain generation -- terrain *geometry* generation. Which is to say given a pre-generated chunk as input, convert the block array into verticies and such for rendering
