goengine

The goal here is to create a graphics engine in the style of minecraft, with total control of terrain generation. For starters the goal currently is not to have destructible terrain. It should be usable as a basis for participation in GameJams. Along the way I want to learn:

1. Mesh generation/handling/modification
2. Terrain generation
3. FPS & 3rd person camera
4. …
5. …
6. networking support for multiplayer

Immediate next tasks

• Meshing
• OBJ loader
• Figure out why the drawing is not working from the Mesh
• Change to my window code
• Use mouse to rotate camera eventually?
• Test if windows binary is still working
• MagicaVoxel imports
