Voxel Terrain Generator

Built as my final project for ECEN 4003 - Concurrent Programming.

Generates a psuedo infinite terrain populated with stone, grass, water, and trees. Camera can either hover slightly above the terrain or can show a general overview. Terrain is limited to 128 blocks in Z, but limited to 2^35 blocks in both X and Y.

Contains the ability to generate, populate, and mesh in serial or parallel.

Compilation

Install Rust 1.18 or above, run cargo build --release.

To run the program, run cargo run --release. To run with arguments, run cargo run --release -- <arguments>.

Arguments

-s=<integer> Sets the seed for the world generator.

-tc=<integer> Sets the number of background worker threads used.

-tm Enables testing mode.

Testing mode disables user input, sets the camera to a fixed high speed, enables overhead view, and runs the same terrain twice for 4096 blocks, once completely serial and once completely parallel.

Controls

1,2 Sets Generation to serial/parallel respectively 3,4 Sets Population to serial/parallel respectively 5,6 Sets Meshing to serial/parallel respectively P Toggles the camera between terrain view and overhead view Space Toggles camera movement ; Sets camera velocity to 0 =,- Adds to camera Y velocity, Forward/Backward respectively [,] Adds to camera X velocity, Left/Right respectively (Will make the camera slightly jittery in Z movement) Escape Exits the program
