Chunkee

Chunkee is a voxel engine written in Rust, designed to be integrated with the Godot game engine.

Demo

How to Use

1. Build the GDExtension

   cargo build -p chunkee-godot

   This will compile the Rust code into a dynamic library that Godot can use.

2. Run the Godot Project

   cd ..
   godot ./godot/project.godot

   Note: This requires the godot command to be available in your system's PATH.

Project Structure

The project is structured as a Cargo workspace and is made up of two main components:

• chunkee-core: The heart of the engine, responsible for core functionalities like world generation, chunk management, and meshing.
• chunkee-godot: A GDExtension that bridges the chunkee-core library with Godot, allowing you to use the engine's features within a Godot project.

Improvements

• Project:

  • Make chunkee-godot agnostic

• Meshing:

  • Faster meshing crate: https://crates.io/crates/binary-greedy-meshing
  • Different voxel rendering methods (Transvoxel, Dual Contouring etc..)

• Generation:

  • Come up with system for placing entities across chunk boundaries (trees, buildings etc..)
  • Better API for converting between coordinate systems (world_position, world_vector, LOD, voxel_size)

• Rendering

  • Move mesh packing to ChunkeeManager worker thread

• Performance

  • Object pools to reduce memory fragmentation and improve cache locality
  • Better chunk deallocation, SVO interner is currently bloating.
