I noticed this project and it seemed similar to one I'm working on, but I can't tell exactly what this is/does. CAn someone explain?

A way to propagate errors up in the call tree: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch09-02-recoverable-errors-with-result.html#a-shortcut-for-propagating-errors-

This is/was a project of mine to gradually make a RimWorld/Dwarf Fortress-like game in Rust.

At the moment it is in a very barebones state. A short summary of the current state of it is:

1) supports procedurally generated terrain (i.e. a 3D voxel representation of a world) 2) stores the terrain using a chunk-based method to load/render the chunks 3) basic camera functionality to view the world from a birds-eye view, with the ability to move through the layers on the Z-axis (like in Dwarf Fortress)

@kloumpt not sure how this relates to the original issue topic?

If you're suggesting the use of the carrier (i.e. ?) operator instead of the try! macro, this project hasn't been updated since before that operator was introduced. That said, I should migrate to using it at some point.

Now that I think about it I should probably put that information (about the game) in the README.

kloumpt commented 7 years ago

Sorry I misread the question and thought he was asking what the operator "?" meant

Side note: Haha! I was super confused about that, @kloumpt! Back on the main track, would you like to help me out with my project, or at least take a quick look, @indiv0? I'm a little further on in some ways than you are, but I haven't done any optimization so my performance aspect looks... horrible. (:

Currently I'm a bit busy with exams and I'll be going on vacation in a week, so not sure exactly how much help I can be, but link it here and I'll try to remember to find some time to take a look :P

I totally understand, I'll be starting college soon! I just wanted some kind of second opinion. Here it is, and thanks for responding: https://github.com/christopherdumas/Skyspace. (:

@christopherdumas sorry for the long delay!

I've taken a look at your project, and I think it looks pretty great. You're definitely a lot further along than I am with your project. In particular, I like that you have a clear vision for your project, which is something I don't quite have at the moment.

Per this PR and per seeing your vision statement, I've gone ahead and written a very basic one to my README. It's nowhere near as detailed as yours but I hope that it gets across what my goal for this project is.

In addition, with the deprecation of the glium library and the overall out-dated state of my project I've decided to begin rewriting it from scratch. Hopefully this time I'll get a little further along in the development process :)

I'll close this issue once the rewrite branch has been merged with the updated README.

Awesome, thanks for taking a look! I’ll be interested to see where your project goes. (: On Thu, Nov 16, 2017 at 7:45 AM Nikita Pekin notifications@github.com wrote:
