- At most 1 chunk is updated (previously known as 'buildModel') every
frame
- 3x3x3 chunks closest to the player are updated in real-time without
the aforementioned limit
- Entities are no longer internally bound to chunks
- Entity visibility for a player is now unique for each entity
- Entities are send/revoked just like chunks by EntityManager
- LocalPlayer no longer stores an entity; instead it stores entity ID
and looks up the entity on demand
- Removed CommsChannel Roles
- Replaced with Client class hierarchy on the server
- Added ClientPlayer
- Added Player (a new server class holding all objects related to a
player)
- Player class in common renamed to PlayerData
- Added PlayerManager for the server
- Added PacketLoadChunk
- Added ChunkIO to handle converting ChunkData to/from bytes
- Client no longer generates chunks by default
- It still does generate them on request by server
- DataBuffer now exposes InputStream and OutputStream
- Faces are now grouped by texture primitive they use
- Massive FPS increase
- TexturePrimitive receive an additional unique ID immediately upon
instantiation
- Hacked dynamic (quickly changing) text support into Typeface
- No formatting for now
- Requires a proper rewrite later
- Added DynamicLabel to display dynamic text
- Movement friction and player controls no longer depend on framerate
- Added FPS and TPS display
- Now each block possesses its own set of 6 tile stacks; two tile stacks
occupy each block boundary
- As consequence, top tiles of block (0;0;0) are now different from
bottom tiles of block (0;0;1)
- Tiles are now stored in and managed with TileStacks
- TileLocations were removed in favor of TileReferences
- Added tile tags to address individual tiles within TS in a way that
persists thru tile insertions are removals (used internally)
- Reworked TickContexts:
- Changed and expanded interfaces significantly
- Added TSTickContext
- Replaced Mutable*TickContexts with TickContextMutable
- Split AddOrRemoveTile into two separate actions
- Renamed EdgeTileLogic to HangingTileLogic
- Moved tmp_generate into TestContent
- Removed Forwarding*TickContexts for now
- Fixed TileTriggeredUpdate triggering ticks instead of updates
- Fixed an error message in Ticker
- Random ticks now happen
- Ticking* interfaces now have a single getTickingPolicy method instead
of two doesTick* methods. This makes more sense since an object cannot
both tick randomly and regularly.
- Added Server.stop
- Added some convenience methods related to setting blocks and tiles
- Documented some stuff
These are just convenience methods: instead of writing
float g = 9.8f * Units.METERS_PER_SECOND_SQUARED;
we can write
float g = Units.get("9.8 m/s^2");
and it'll actually work fast.
Benchmarking showed that using LOC gave a whopping 5% speed advantage at
the cost of terrible readability. In the worst case. Decided that having
clear, laconic and Java-style code is worth the drop in performance.
No regrets.
- Pretty much everything related to ticking changed
- Ticking is now capable of running in parallel (other code - not so
much)
- Implemented world updates
- Broke some stuff
- Added ChunkDataListener and WorldDataListener
- Moved chunk render update requests to clientside ChunkDataListeners
- Moved ChunkRender and ChunkLogic initialization into WDListeners
- Packaged everything related to block selection into Selection class
- Selection box is a bit less obnoxious
- Added the ability to place Test:Stone blocks
- This is technically a Minecraft clone now. I don't know how to feel
about this tbh
