The project

This is a "fork" of the same project written in C (https://github.com/leohahn/voxl). It was rewritten in C++ because I was annoyed by the lack of things like function overloading, operator overloading, etc. This is therefore a 1-to-1 translation.

What was implemented

• Rendering block into chunks (group of blocks) to reduce the number of draw calls.
• Merging faces of adjacent cubes to send less vertices to the gpu.
• Frustum culling
• Depth buffer renderer (in the CPU, not optimized) for the implementation of occlusion culling and drawing occluders. (not finished)
