Above you can see screenshots of a house I built in the game, which is later destroyed by placing and detonating explosive blocks in and around the house. This reveals the procedural terrain in the background, generated at runtime.

The process
The process
During the 4 weeks of development I managed to first implement chunk creation/modification, allowing for blocks to be placed and destroyed dynamically during runtime. Then I implemented infinite procedural terrain generation using an octave-based perlin-noise algorithm. Later I eventually figured out chunk rendering, making sure to only render block faces that are exposed to air. Then lastly; I implemented block behaviours (such as TNT exploding).

The snippet above is responsible for generating the terrain in a chunk; it uses multiple layers of Perlin Noise to generate a Y value for every XY position in that chunk, and depending on the Y value, different blocks are set at that position.

The snippet above showcases the structure of the header file where the LoadChunk function is defined. There are two similar functions; LoadChunk, and LoadChunks. The latter is responsible for delegating chunks to load for each running load-thread. The former is responsible for actually generating the chunk.
