Craft VS moongl

Here’s the original code: https://github.com/fogleman/Craft/blob/master/src/world.c I don’t really have an “after” because I edited it a lot and didn’t backup the original, but try it yourself and you should get similar results. I also told it to make the variable names better.

When this subject comes up, I always like to link to one of the many Minecraft clones written in C. https://github.com/fogleman/Craft

Not java but https://github.com/fogleman/Craft will give you an idea of what has to be done.

Anyone know how to get started doing OpenGL with lua? I tried this library -> https://github.com/stetre/moongl but kept getting certain errors when running make. So any one know any other library's or maybe some other ways of using OpenGL like maybe a c library with lua or something? Or maybe if anyone one has experience using this library maybe theres something I might be missing?

If you don't mind using software developed and maintained by an individual (myself), there's MoonGL together with a few other companion libraries. They are all documented and come with quite a few examples.

If you want a proof of concept, check out this example. It is a port I made of the Breakout game from Joey de Vries' LearnOpenGL, using only binding libraries (no framework).

And you can absolutely implement an ECS in Lua. It won't be as performant as in a language where you have direct memory access, but there is more to the ECS pattern than just performance, like modularity and separation of data and logic. I would never suggest anyone to implement a full blown game engine in Lua (though you could, using bindings like this: https://github.com/stetre/moongl) but it is certainly possible.
