Noise

Perlin, Worley noise

Summed Perlin noise terrain

Increase number of grid lines

the lower freq the flatter

Chunk

chunk rendering

class Chunk {
private:
    std::array<BlockType, 65536> m_blocks;
    int minX, minZ;
    std::unordered_map<Direction, Chunk*, EnumHash> m_neighbors; 
}

struct InputBundle {
    bool press
}

Physics

Collision boxes

Const store array<vec3,12>

every tick check distance between ground and

Mini Minecraft
template<class T>
MutexPair {
	T sharedResource;
	std::mutex lock;
}

Main Thread
	vector<Chunck*> dataForNoiseWorkerThreads;
    tick() {
        1. update player position, velocity, collisions, etc
        2. check to see if we need to make more terrain based on where the player is when we send info to our parallel threads to be processed "worker threads"
        3.

Opaque blocks

Transparent Blocks

1. Draw all chunks' opaque VBO data
2. Draw all chunks' transparent VBO data

I implemented Efficient Terrain Rendering and Chunking by creating create() function for chunk to make it draws the terrain on a per-Chunk basis. To achieve this, I find the neighbor of every block in this chunk, and only draw faces that lie on the boundary between a transparent block and a filled block.

I implemented Procedural Terrain by creating GenerateTerrain() function for Terrain to generate and instantiate all chunk in the given range, and generate grassland, dessert and mountain terrains. To achieve this, I use Perlin noise to generate the height of grassland and dessert, then use biomeBlender to blend their height.
