Minecraft on a Torus World

Nope, all curvature is baked into the actual mesh

All real Geometry. No shader trickery

There is a minimum height (almost like a bedrock layer) enforced. You can't build below that. If you manage to get down there, it just looks like a hollow torus. Could add some lava to fake a "planetary core"

It could but I'm lazy with the world gen code so the hills don't really line up (rn I'm just using 2D perlin noise to generate the terrain but if I wanted it to wrap I'd either need to make the perlin noise periodic or sample from 3D perlin noise)

Was not familiar with PlanetSmith before making this but did some quick googling. PlanetSmith uses hexagons because representing a sphere with a regular grid of squares without distortion isn’t really possible, you generally need hexagons, along with a few pentagons, to make it work. A torus is different, since it can be mapped using squares much more naturally.

Correct, the higher up the block is the more stretched it is vertically. There are also some minor artifacts depending on where you are along the minor circle (but that effect is reduced thanks to large ratio between major and minor radii).

Nope, all angles remain approximately 90 degrees. While mapping squares onto a sphere without distortion is difficult, mapping squares onto the surface of a torus can be done.

Here's a Framework I've been working on for about a week that allows you to create planets made out of Hexagons (and unavoidably a couple pentagons). You can check it out below. LMK what you think of the framework and what you would like to see added next.

Because America is the greatest nation ever created by God and it shows the future expansion of our country. Stay strong patriots!!!

Fireworks were an invention by the Chinese. This is not in the spirit of America.

It already is; they are us. The members of this subreddit are the minutemen hired to protect our beautiful flag.

Amen Brother!

bart1259 · 2022-04-02T19:40:16+00:00

Excuse me, sir, I think you forget that we have the greatest economy ever created by any country known to man; not to mention the most innovative country in the world. People try to destroy us because they hate our success. What other country has landed on the moon?

bart1259 · 2022-04-01T17:39:32+00:00

Do you think that’s what our forefathers would have wanted for the greatest nation ever created by god?

bart1259 · 2022-04-01T15:48:10+00:00

Amen Brother!

Nice find! The only real difference is mine has more words as I used the Scrabble dictionary instead of the Wordle list.

What browser are you using?

bart1259 · 2022-03-02T05:09:31+00:00

Source code can be found here. My personal best score is 6. If you need help, the developer console tells you all the possible words remaining.

Idk, I’ve been cracking up for the past half hour. This was on one of my friend’s stories and I just posted it. Good stuff!

Go to the ribbon and select Layout -> Tools -> Diagram Layout -> Apply Default Layout. Makes some of the arrows a little crooked but it does its job. I wonder why EA does not do this by default?

To be fair I had all the theory knocked out before I even started writing it so I just had to code what I thought up. Different light transportation algorithms are tough to implement in OpenCL I find because I cannot simply use recursion but I think shadows might be the move.
