Cubyz

# Cubyz
Cubyz is a 3D voxel sandbox game (inspired by Minecraft).

Cubyz has a bunch of interesting/unique features such as:
- Level of Detail (→ This enables far view distances.)
- 3D Chunks (→ There is no height or depth limit.)
- Procedural Crafting (→ There are infinite possibilites for tool crafting.)

# About
Cubyz is written in <img src="https://github.com/PixelGuys/Cubyz/assets/43880493/04dc89ca-3ef2-4167-9e1a-e23f25feb67c" width="20" height="20">
[Zig](https://ziglang.org/), a rather small language with some cool features and a focus on readability.

Windows and Linux are supported. Mac is not supported, as it does not have OpenGL 4.3.

There are also some devlogs on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYi_o2N3ImLb3SIUpTS_AFPWe0MUTk2Lf).

### History
Until recently (the Zig rewrite was started in August 2022) Cubyz was written in Java. You can still see the code in the [Cubyz-Java](https://github.com/PixelGuys/Cubyz-Java) repository and play it using the [Java Launcher](https://github.com/PixelGuys/Cubyz-Launcher/releases). `// TODO: Move this over to a separate repository`

Originally Cubyz was created on August 22, 2018 by <img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/39484230" width="20" height="20">[zenith391](https://github.com/zenith391) and <img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/39484479" width="20" height="20">[ZaUserA](https://github.com/ZaUserA). Back then, it was called "Cubz".

However, both of them lost interest at some point, and now Cubyz is maintained by <img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/43880493" width="20" height="20">[IntegratedQuantum](https://github.com/IntegratedQuantum).


# Run Cubyz
### This section is about compiling a dev version, if you just want a precompiled version, go to [releases](https://github.com/PixelGuys/Cubyz/releases)
## The Easy Way (no tools needed)
1. Download the latest [source code](https://codeload.github.com/PixelGuys/Cubyz/zip/refs/heads/master)
2. Extract the zip file
3. Go into the extraced folder and double click the `run_linux.sh` or `run_windows.bat` depending on your operating system.
4. Congratulations: You just compiled your first program!

### It doesn't work?
- If it doesn't work and keeps running for more than 10 minutes without doing anything it can help to kill and restart the process. A few people seem to experience this, and I have not found the cause. It might also help to delete the `zig-cache` folder.
- If you see an error message in the terminal, please report it in the [Issues](https://github.com/PixelGuys/Cubyz/issues) tab or on the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/XtqCRRG).
- Otherwise you can always ask for help on the Discord server. If you are unable to get it compiling on your machine, you can also ask on the Discord server and we may compile a release for you.

1. Install Git
