Coding Minecraft in One Week - C++/OpenGL Programming Challenge

Hello! In this video, I attempt to create a simple voxel game/ Minecraft clone in a single week. It doesn't have the best performance or the most features; but of course, there is only so much you can achieve in a single week.

Hope you enjoy!

=========

Note: Performance issues are excepted as this was made in only a week

NOTE: This MIGHT NOT WORK ON AMD GPUs. I'm not sure why exactly, I would find out but I do not own a AMD GPU. Works on Nvidia cards fine.

When I made this video, I did not expect this much traction. I created this when my subscribers were all programmers, and now I have layman watching this as well, which is nice as it means I now have a wider audience :)

However, as expected by this new viewer base, quite a lot of people are commenting things that didn't really get commented before, such as:

"please add this" and "please add that"

"fix your ugly palm trees" (yes I know my palm trees suck lol, some comments have really overreacted about them. I would have made them better, but I had better things to do)

"fix your movement"

"make the world gen smoother"

etc, :P

 What doesn't seem to be understood is that I made this video for a one-off bit of fun, and I had no plans (and still don't) of continuing and supporting this game, because it was just a one-week challenge, and nothing more.

I have a separate game, which you can view in my other "creating" videos, which is also an open-source educational/ fun MC clone, which I do plan to continue creating. However, before I do continue that, I want to learn about networking and how multiplayer works, and I am not sure how long that may take.

When I do learn how that works, I will begin to create another video where I attempt to implement that. :P

Of course, in the meantime, I will try and make a video every week or two :)

Thanks all!

PS: It is not physically possible to create CS GO and Call of Duty in a week, so please stop suggesting that xD

Edit: To people who keep saying "all you did was make a terrain generator smh", you clearly didn't watch the video

"I decided to try and add an event system. essentially this means sending events to the events handler and then the event handler sort of handles the events."

It’s incredibly impressive that you managed this in a light mode text editor

Oooooh i like the more tropical color pallete you used, it really makes the fly-through shot at 18:01 really "pop" in a way that real Minecraft doesn't. Great stuff!

[bambeef]

But luckily it's a farely easy fix
