     That's probably all for today. Not bad for eight days of work :)

     So they fixed blender in Alpine which means I actually have to learn how to use it

     This version of the network protocol is really annoying to implement because you have to write decoders for *every* packet format because the packets are not length prefixed

     These chunks courtesy of a vanilla Minecraft beta 1.7.3 server

     lol, I thought the tesselator was causing the lag spikes, it was the scheduler (it takes 100x longer than the tesselator with this stupid algorithm)

     Last could of days have been a break from implementing Minecraft beta 1.7.3 to spend some time actually playing it for the first time in... a while

     Getting better at quickly knocking out weird block models with the assistance of blender

     Wait why is the chunk scheduler O(n²), why did I think that was a good idea

     One of my test houses renders properly now, but only because the stairs happen to face south

     There we go. Spent most of my day learning to use Blender and import the results into betamine but it was time well spent

     Not working on this every day anymore so expect updates to be slower :)

     Stuff that would make sense to implement soonish:

     * Re-tesselation chunks are updated
     * Basic physics so you don't float above the ground
     * Chat messages
     * Rendering other players/entities
     * HUD, i.e. health and hotbar
     * Interacting with blocks (mining and placing blocks)

     Short re-tesselation demo, have a vanilla Minecraft client running on the other monitor placing these blocks

     Maybe a fun thing to do in the foreseeable future would be audio. Probably should wait until some basic physics are there since the physics engine will be an obvious place to ask "what sort of block is at the player's feet"

     Implemented chunk re-tesselation, performance is quite good. FPS about double that of vanilla Minecraft on my machine. Here's a short video walking around my test server near sunset for your enjoyment.

     I removed the ability to run betamine without connecting to a server, so all future screenshots/videos will be of betamine connected to a vanilla Minecraft server (until I implement a server myself).

     I think #harelang is pretty good for game development 😃
