I dunnit !

Finally sewed all the seams together! This screenshot shows a patch of 4x4 chunks.

features:

• - chunked LOD


• - 1 chunk = 64x64


• - 4x4 chunks


• - simple LOD algorithm (based on 2D distance from centre-of-chunk to camera, height does not count)


• - 1 single texture for every chunk (to downsize demo and because I don't have texture mgmt)


• - normally, one texture per chunk (no multi-texturing) with red edges to find chunk edges


• - direct-mode passing of all data (no display lists, no vbo)


• - 1 dynamic light, just to enhance landscape features a bit

keys:

• - arrows = navigate


• - CTRL+arrows: yaw/pitch


• - Q/W = change the height (I'm on AZERTY, so you may need to press A/Z)


• - A/Z = change FOV (same remark)


• - D = print debug, including FPS


• - T = toggle wireframe

Known issues:

• - fps is calculated based on currentTimeMillis(), and is only updated every second (to compensate for lack of accuracy)


• - popping


• - performance (init is slow, + very inefficient storage of heightmap)


• - ridiculous memory consumption

TODO:

• - compare display lists / VBO


• - geomorphing?


• - multi-texturing (will allow pre-rendered lightmap)


• - refactor my chunked code into something actually usable
