Faster game launch. #60

Closed foxostro closed 11 years ago

foxostro commented 12 years ago

Get the game to a playable state more quickly. Currently there are about two seconds after launch when too many things are faulting in to really call the game "playable."

Ideas:

  1. Faster or cached sunlight generation.
  2. Ditto for mesh geometry generation.
  3. Initially load a smaller active region and expand the size as chunks finish loading.

A lot of this will be handled by https://github.com/foxostro/GutsyStormCocoa/issues/34 and https://github.com/foxostro/GutsyStormCocoa/issues/62

With 42e24de92d058241095f9883219253e8a6c9f1b8, the game is now able to display terrain immediately at launch.

A dynamically-sized active region would help in the case where cached terrain data is not available on-disk.

You know what? I'm going to close this issue. It's too vague and I mostly have this under control now.
