VoxelSpace VS zoxel

This uses the "Voxel Space algorithm" used in 1992s Comanche to get a faux 3d terrain. Based on the code from here with some optimizations to get a reasonable FPS.

Reminds me of this: https://github.com/s-macke/VoxelSpace

Another implementation to play around with here; this one's not DOS but web based though.

I'm reminded of the render algorithm in Comanche, the 1992 video game [0]. I find it remarkably ingenious, and it certainly felt incredible at the time.

The heightmap I've been manipulating may also be familiar to you, but not for the same reason, because it's terrain data of Mt. Fuji. I'm thinking of heightmap files instead of infinite noise, mixing the perks of ray-based rendering insights with a manageable early-'90s-style aesthetic and conventional level design. An erosion simulation could be preprocessed with a seamless OOB margin in that context too.

I wrote a voxel space implementation in Rust some time ago using SFML, and now am trying to move it to WGPU in order to learn how GPUs work better and perhaps solve a horizontal lines glitch I've got.

Recently, I’ve been getting into voxel rendering, and I’ve been thinking of a way of extending the voxel space algorithm. https://github.com/s-macke/VoxelSpace

It's a very basic shader. https://github.com/deus369/open-zoxel/blob/master/Resources/Shaders/TexturedRender2D.frag The rendering code is here, with a setup of a texture. https://github.com/deus369/open-zoxel/blob/master/Source/Core/Rendering/OpenGL/Util/OpenGLUtil.c And it works fine on the phone (arm, 3.0 es) but on the PC (3.2 es) it just doesn't load.
