I’ve been working on this for a while, but have finally rendered some blocks. There are no Controls yet, and the placing system is not going to use this one; it’s going to be in arrays, but here it is: [LameCraft3D Tech Test](https://arcade.makecode.com/S29390-00744-09105-10365) ---

If you contribute to the controls and camera, here is a list of stuff that I have planned: - A (Pressed) = Jump - A (Pressed) + A (Pressed) = Fly Toggle - UP (Pressed/Hold) = Move Forward - DOWN (Pressed/Hold) = Move Backward - LEFT (Pressed/Hold) = Move Left - RIGHT (Pressed/Hold) = Move Right - MENU (Hold) + UP (Pressed/Hold) = Camera Up - MENU (Hold) + DOWN (Pressed/Hold) = Camera Down - MENU (Hold) + LEFT (Pressed/Hold) = Camera Left - MENU (Hold) + RIGHT (Pressed/Hold) = Camera Right - B (Pressed/Hold) = Crouch/Fly Down - MENU (Hold) + B (Pressed) = Open Inventory - MENU (Pressed) = Pause Game - A (Hold) + LEFT (Pressed) = Scroll Hotbar Left - A (Hold) + RIGHT (Pressed) = Scroll Hotbar Right - MENU (Hold) + B (Hold) + A (Pressed) = Break Block - MENU (Hold) + A (Pressed) = Place Block ---

When I rotate the blocks, sometimes I can see through them. If it renders using raytracing and the rays step by the same distance, then the rays are likely going through the cubes without detecting them. There is this algorithm called DDA stepping that makes the ray travel along the sides of voxels rather than a constant distance, making the rays never skip voxels. Another advantage is that it makes side detection easier. I believe you’ve already seen it but [3D voxel rendering engine](https://forum.makecode.com/t/3d-voxel-rendering-engine/42425) I made with copilot, using [https://github.com/DeadlockCode/voxel\_ray\_traversal](https://github.com/DeadlockCode/voxel_ray_traversal) as a guide. the main reason I used copilot was because I have no understand of rust (the programming language the github repo used). my project only renders actual voxels, it does not work with rotated cubes (like the entities in Minecraft). ---

now I’m confused, I don’t think it actually uses the DDA stepping I was talking about. I thought it did ---
