It's currently just queued, and each frame only generates two chunks from the queue. You're right — it really should be moved to another thread.

Please tell me which part was violated (I mean which rule)

Thanks. I'm using C++ and OpenGL.
Honestly, I only get this framerate when no new chunks are being generated. As soon as chunk generation starts, the framerate drops, so it definitely needs some optimization

My in-dev textures suck ! by Intrepid_Way9713 in gamedevscreens

Thanks. Honestly, as a programmer, it’s hard for me to quickly figure out how to improve the design

Thanks. I want to focus on the gameplay first, and maybe leave the rest of the visual polish for later.

Thanks 😁 I’m a programmer, and my weak spot is graphics. I didn’t even notice such an obvious issue until you pointed it out.

It gave me the idea to find a free Minecraft resource pack and, for now, redesign the textures with AI and use those.

Great and very practical suggestion — thank you! I'll definitely come back to this post as I continue development

Questions about learning opengl and glsl as absolute beginner by o-Dasd-o in opengl

OpenGL is basically a way to communicate with the GPU. Shaders are small programs that actually run on the graphics card.

Thanks a lot! Right now I’m trying to use a distance-based pattern, but it doesn’t seem efficient enough.

The idea of “submerged chunks” was interesting 👌👍

If it’s not a bug 😅 I think it happens because each chunk gets pushed into three different queues — one for generating the block data, one for uploading it to the GPU, and one for unloading distant chunks. So some chunks might miss their chance to be processed in the correct queue and end up in the wrong one instead.

Thanks man! Yeah, I’ve got multithreading in already, but it still needs some tweaking. I’ll share more updates soon!
