31/07/2026 Loading data about players (because there's less associated data to keep track of) and then data about the map in that order

30/07/2026 I think I worked most of the things out, how to make and switch to vertex array objects There's an automatic linear depth buffer if you use the built-in OpenGL 3 translations and projections to set up your scene so I can just use those, I don't need to manually hardcode all these...

29/07/2026 On the bright side, looks a little easier to keep track of and might look a little nicer. Depth models are good

28/07/2026 The rendering method calling glBegin() and glEnd() is apparently absurdly costly to the central processing unit so I need to take at least a couple of days to learn how to render everything with a textured VBO rather than as individual textured quads I'm a fucking retard

27/07/2026 Trying to get more things into perspective, falling runs on its own timer so that the player doesn't fall down several z-levels in a split-second and to save on the CPU budget (performing checks against all game objects in the chunk as fast as possible) is my reasoning, terrain...

26/07/2026 Sokoban today or tomorrow

25/07/2026 Also hacked FOV quickly I should post at the end of the day

25/07/2026 Terrains now have their own x,y,z co-ordinate variable and are rendered based on that rather than incrementing in a loop, I can test this with Sokoban puzzles, I need to put more than one content in each tile, perhaps terrain will accidentally become the master data type if I don't...

23/07/2026 - The program now consists of a server and client, the user can choose (in a couple of days) to load maps from a clientside folder (singleplayer which isn't going to work) or have the map load over a remote connection to the server (multiplayer). Allowing the user to choose which IP...

22/07/2026 Tested the SDL_net example program with a Russian friend to judge potential latency and packet loss issues and surprisingly for brief amounts of time we were able to relay messages in the chat client - Running it as a localhost or connecting from the external IP address never presents...
