I started a runtime HLSL shader editor for MonoGame.
Technically, runtime compilation is done using 2MGX source code used for PipeLine.exe tool. I use scintillaNet for text editing.
Culling 3D
Culling algorithm working now in my cubes world.
Culling Algorithm
This is my implementation of the chunks frustum culling in C#, based on “The Advanced Cave Culling Algorithm” article by Tommaso Checchi.
The goal is to reduce drawed chunks.
Source code here : FormCull.zip
MainMenu, Bonus Level and VoxelText Generator
I worked on my main screen menu. Title and background are animated with cubes following procedural paths of course. It’s a good start but I have to work on colors…
For the “game over” sprite, I have created a text to voxel sprite text fonction. So It will be a time saver for next game’s messages.
I have experienced a new cubeworld generator for first bonus level …
Voxels destruction
I started a physics engine in order to manage the game level destruction. The impact of player’s missiles generate a hole in world created by boolean operation with a sphere. Then for each not empty voxels at the surface of the sphere, I generate a debris. Each debris are managed as a particle with a velocity, a time of life and a numbers of bounces with the environment.
First video of “CubeShooter” a remake of Sanxion a C64 game !
This is a custom voxel engine using MonoGame, an Open Source implementation of the Microsoft XNA 4 Framework.
I use a homemade tool that allows me to edit the game in real time, based on stacked operators.
