The journey began with rendering 3D voxels on the screen. Initially, I considered using an object loader, but efficiency concerns led me to opt for the traditional method of employing vertices and indices to render shapes. As the project progressed, I expanded my horizons by rendering multiple voxels and harnessing the power of chunks to tackle lag. To enhance performance, I integrated memory-saving techniques. User-friendliness was achieved through the implementation of a user interface, eliminating hard-coded elements and enhancing the engine's accessibility. The next chapter in this endeavor involved leveraging noise maps, including Perlin and cellular maps, for world generation. Procedural generation and chunk storage followed suit, transforming the world into an infinite expanse. To complete this journey, I introduced features like structure placement, block addition and removal. The finishing touches included dynamic lighting and a captivating sky. ➤Time Stamps 0:00 - Intro 0:25 - API 1:23 - Rendering a Voxel 2:30 - Creating UI 2:50 - GameMaker 4:09 - Chunks 5:41 - Noise Maps 6:53 - Block Types 7:42 - Procedural Generation 9:10 - Structures and Block Placement 10:05 - The End #gamedev #zyger #gameengine
