Stream chunks to/from disk as needed #5

Closed foxostro closed 12 years ago

foxostro commented 12 years ago

Stream chunks between disk and memory in an attempt to keep the number of loaded chunks under some configurable threshold. This will require design of an on-disk storage format.

As of df8f13a27687a664f14074cfa830ef6443224d97, it is now possible to save and load chunks to disk. The chunk_test prototype does a round-trip to disk to test this out.

As of 7dcb35868bcce6770826e0dc4d974bce265574bb, the format has been changed to include vertices and vertex normals in the data saved to disk.

Next: Instead of generating terrain and geometry up-front, generate this data on the fly.
