Building

-----

The project is built using CMake. Run the following command to build

```

cd build && cmake --build .

```

This will create an executable `Minecraft`. Currently, only macOS is supported.

Current Implemented Features

-----

Features that are implemented include:

* Movement

* Placing and blocks

* Removing blocks

* Hotbar

* World generation

Libraries Used

-----

* [OpenGL](https://www.opengl.org/) graphics rendering

* [GLFW](https://www.glfw.org/) utility library for OpenGL

* [GLM](https://github.com/g-truc/glm) for OpenGL mathematics

* [imgui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) for GUI

* [stb image](https://github.com/nothings/stb/tree/master) for images

TODO

-----

* DO THEY NOT CACHE THE WORLD FOR GENERATION? MAYBE THATS WHAT I AM MISSING...

* Implement a ticks system

    * Chunks render at a tick rate

* dear imgui does not have a CMakeLists.txt file. Will most likely have to use a cmake/imgui.cmake file

    * SOLUTION: Put the CMakeLists.txt file in the lib/ directory instead, and compile all necessary

    libraries into a lib/liblib.a file (yes, the name is weird by default, but what can we do)

    * Same for glad, use a cmake/glad.cmake file

    * Still want to create the static library in build/lib/glad

* Multithread the chunks generation

    * Use a thread pool

* Physics

* Glass and leaves

* Trees

    * Transparent leafs

* Padding issues, add `-Wpadded` to see

    * See [this article](http://www.catb.org/esr/structure-packing/#_who_should_read_this)

* HUD being rendered over by the blocks when hovering too close to block face

* Fix cursor issue interacting with GUI even when off

* In the future, benchmark 1d array vs 2d array for chunks stored in the world

    * 2d array has cache misses

    * 1d array has a lot of multiplication calculations (costs a lot of cpu cycles)
