- Add options for physics ticks per second, time scale, max physics steps per frame
and physics interpolation to the 2D and 3D physics tests demos.
- Physics ticks per second are always multiplied by time scale so that
time scale does not affect the physics simulation quality.
- Enable 4× MSAA for better debug shape display. Remove meshes/lights as
the debug collision fill make these unnecessary.
- Switch to the Mobile rendering method in the 2D physics tests demo
to allow for 2D MSAA, as it's not implemented in Compatibility yet.
- Improve collision shapes color in the 2D and 3D physics tests demos
for better visibility. Each PhysicsBody type now has its own collision
shape color.
Voxel Game
This demo is a minimal first-person voxel game, inspired by others such as Minecraft.
Language: GDScript
Renderer: Forward+
Check out this demo on the asset library: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/2755
How does it work?
Each chunk is a
StaticBody3D
with each block having its own
CollisionShape
for collisions. The meshes are created using
SurfaceTool
which allows specifying vertices, triangles, and UV coordinates
for constructing a mesh.
The chunks and chunk data are stored in
Dictionary
objects. New chunks have their meshes drawn in separate
Threads,
but generating the collisions is done in the main thread, since Godot does
not support changing physics objects in a separate thread. There
are two terrain types, random blocks and flat grass. A more
complex terrain generator is out-of-scope for this demo project.
The player can place and break blocks using the
RayCast
node attached to the camera. It uses the collision information to
figure out the block position and change the block data. You can
switch the active block using the brackets or with the middle mouse button.
There is a settings menu for render distance and toggling the fog.
Settings are stored inside of an
AutoLoad singleton
called "Settings". This class will automatically save
settings, and load them when the game opens, by using the
File class.
Sticking to GDScript and the built-in Godot tools, as this demo does, is quite limiting. If you are making your own voxel game, you should probably use Zylann's voxel module instead: https://github.com/Zylann/godot_voxel
