Sean Barrett live-codes the development of a voxel-based block building game in C, focusing on mesh building and frustum culling.

The audio gets fixed around 17:40 0:12 Recap and set the stage for the day 2:13 Launch the game and consider improving the load time 2:59 Chat: "What keyboard is that? Sounds blue" 3:41 Having reduced the view distance, disable the texture loading" and launch the game 4:15 Chat: "Most people just have a panel below the video" 5:21 Chat: "Do you record this time via OBS?" 5:59 Chat: "The audio is worse than yesterday" 6:32 Try just loading the first texture, launch the game and note the annoying pauses 7:41 Chat: "I vote wear it" 9:18 Build one mesh per render and traverse the world 11:19 Chat: "Clicking sounds are louder than your voice" 14:35 Frustrum culling 15:38 Call compute_frustrum in render_voxel_world 18:22 Launch the game and find that it's drawing half of the meshes 18:54 Increase the view_distance, launch the game and find that the frustrum test is being done after building the meshes 19:41 Do the frustrum test before building 21:50 Launch the game and see the meshes loading, then traverse the world and watch them load in 23:27 Do the rendering from near-to-far 25:06 Chat: "There was one WordPress site. What was it about?" 25:15 Traverse the world and see that the nearest stuff is always built 25:23 Build the meshes that are behind us in any order 27:16 Launch the game, wait and rotate to find that the meshes are built 28:07 Checkin the current status with ~CMirror 29:45 Chat: "I'm surprised you use git. It seems like most people doing games stuff don't like it. (I personally love it, but I'm not a game dev)" 30:48 Update the TODO list 33:21 Chat: "Is that windows xp?" 33:28 Write the FAQ 34:22 Chat: "Are you famous?" 35:03 Chat: "Does Casey drink almond milk at work?" 36:03 Chat: "New question: Why 32bit windows?" 40:28 Chat: "Q: Is OBBG going to get an electric circuit system like redstone in Minecraft?" 41:16 Chat: "Can you please answer my question?" 42:06 Chat: "Now for the questions just to continue because no one reads the stuff under the stream" 42:36 Chat: "Are you mentioned anywhere else than in the Thanks page in the Quake game?" 43:10 Update the FAQ 43:50 Chat: "I ask because block manipulation is a sorely lacking part of Minecraft (pistons, pff); having non-text-scripts in-game to manipulate world is great. OBBG is just going for block building at the moment?" 44:38 Chat: "Are you employed?" 45:34 A few words on the process of game development" 46:50 Chat: "Have you tried and do you like Oculus?" 47:50 Chat: "Oh okay, the stream will be on YouTube. Yay!" 47:58 Add "add lighting" to the TODO list 48:31 Add a couple of block types 52:45 Chat: "Can I have different block sizes per input set?" 53:14 Chat: "Is there going to be more simple examples of how to use stb_voxel_render than the Minecraft map renderer?" 55:37 Chat: "How about linked textures?" 55:46 Chat: "I need to make a detail (smaller) blocks that only appear when the viewer is near" 57:48 Chat: "Connected textures" 58:20 On laying out blocks to make them appear c
