Nice work on building this!
It's probably mentioning that the open-source and awesome http://voxeljs.com/ http://voxeljs.com/ has more of the base features of Minecraft than this, and much better performance too. If you're planning on building a Minecraft clone, don't reinvent the wheel!
- mcmire 13y agoRight, at first I thought this was done by the creators of voxel.js. Perhaps this was an exercise for the OP and that is fine but it seems there is a fair bit of reinventing the wheel going on here.
- haeric 13y agoVoxel.js is great! But it didn't exist when I started, (so it wasn't really re-inventing the wheel at that time) and it lacks some of the things which I have spent the most time tuning and getting right, like lighting and ambient occlusion. The lack of these features is also part of why voxeljs has better performance at the moment. I contemplated changing to voxeljs when it came out, but Skycraft has some properties that might not fit properly into a generic voxel engine.. the islands, for instance, allow for some unique optimizations. And the small, one-color blocks allow for other optimization again. So it wouldn't be easy to make Skycraft work with voxeljs, or use the optimizations of Skycraft in voxel.js. Thanks for the "Nice work" though! :)
