This repository contains a small Minecraft clone I did as a side-project to practice my OpenGL and game development skills. The project doesn't use a game engine, and only contains necessary libraries for dealing with OpenGL. The goal was to build a simple but playable version of the game in about a week from scratch, and then slowly keep adding more features on top. So far, the game has:
- Infinite world made up of chunks
- Ability to destroy and place blocks with ray casting
- Procedural terrain generation using homemade Perlin Noise implementation
- Water and various other transparent and translucent objects
- 2D objects, such as flowers
There is still much to be done, including more features and optimizations, better architectural decisions, and visual improvements. I am planning to keep updating this repository, so stay tuned if you are interested.
In case you'd like to build this project, make sure you have a C++20 compiler, CMake, and git:
# Clone the repository with all the dependencies
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/daniilsjb/minecraft-clone
cd minecraft-clone
# Run CMake to build it
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .When running the executable, make sure that the res directory is located within the same folder.
