did the important work of switching index buffers over from 16 bit indices to 32 bit indices in the unlikely but potentially possible case of a vertex buffer having more than 65k vertices in it

this change is invisible so have a screenshot of a cool hole

#EniBlockGame #GameDev 🎮

a hole flanked by grass with ferns and wildflowers. it goes almost straight down and darkens far away from the camera

He supports it financially so I'm pretty sure he has a say in things if nothing else

Oh thats something else entirely :'D

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 1d

Yeah I'm already doing that

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 1d

yeah using 16 bits as much as possible is a nice way to save memory but you do actually have to handle overflows >_>

Eniko Fox @enikofox.com · 1d

yeah this is an eventual polish thing i wanna do. right now i'm still trying to not overcomplicate things

Last boost for tonight

My rent is paid, so October starts now for my finances.

Of course, disability pretty much runs out immediately once rent is paid, so I'm going into the month on the ropes.

Plus, it's my birthday month. (The 8th!)

So here's the fundraising.

optimized chunk generation/rebuilding, and added basic visibility culling for chunks. still all synchronous code, but the terrain gen keeps up with the camera even at a visible chunk radius of 16, and i get 60-90 fps with a radius of 12 on my weak pc. which looks like this:
