Jeija demonstrates a modified Minetest engine that implements a spherical voxel world using a custom grid transform.
Heights of circular orbits: mesecons.net/random/orbit.pdf More mathematical video on how to make the planet look spherical: youtube.com/watch?v=joFWr3JzBOI How to get this game: For Windows: Download this and run minetest.exe in the "bin" directory: github.com/Jeija/spheretest/releases/download/release/sphere… For all other platforms, download and compile the game from GitHub: github.com/Jeija/spheretest Add satellite mod, skybox and demo map manually: github.com/Jeija/spheretest/releases/tag/release Minetest Forum Topic: forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=15643 Background Music: C418 - Cat Tom Day - Going Home Resonata - Returned To Dust Some interesting resources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_polyhedron en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_characteristic reddit.com/r/math/comments/qgc22/if_i_wanted_to_tessellate_a… Gauss's proof that a sphere cannot be mapped on a flat plane: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorema_Egregium Thanks to 3blue1brown for the amazing manim library which was used for the math animations in this video: youtube.com/3blue1brownWhat people say. Pointed to as a fascinating demonstration of implementing spherical planets and gravity within a voxel game engine.
