Thyandyr's voxel engine

[Thyandyr]

Achieved:

• TChunkManager per frame update (TChunks load, create, unload etc. few items per frame)
• Each TChunk in separate VBO
• Frustrum culling on Camera change (TChunk.InFrustrum = boolean). VBO stays in but does not get drawn if not in frustrum.
• VBO freed on TChunk unload

Managed to introduce annoying stutter effect on fast camera movements.

I'm back from few weeks holiday. I have no idea what I am doing but somehow I manage to make some progress.

Stutter is fixed, frustrum culling is working much better too (only on one plane, need to add 4 more.

...frustrum culling is working much better too

Now with 4 planes and distance is handled by other means. Nice job me!

Nice progress there.

Changed from keeping track of neighbouring chunks and accessing their data, to n+2^3 array that just keeps extra layer (redundant) of data around the real data. for chunk edge drawing and occlusion. Works much better.

Will put this eventually to GitHub once it is decent enough and I have learned to use Github. I did start a project and made readme, but no code yet. Link in initial post.
