The Expansion Update

Version 0.6

This update brings many technological improvements. Countless hours of debugging went into this :)

List of changes

• Terrain has gone from being 64x64x64 to 192x192x192
• The way that the system generates and stores chunks in memory has been completely changed:
  • Chunks are now stored as sorted structs with a pointer to a blocks array that is allocated upon generation
  • There are currently 27 of them in a 3x3x3 grid
  • They are automatically sorted, and are looked up using a binary search algorithm
• Debug screen has been redesigned, and shows more info
• A special debug menu was added to options that provides a 3D xrayable map of the current chunk
• Terrain generation is far more varied in terms of height

The Nature Update

Version 0.4

List of changes

• Slightly enhanced performance
