i just had a thought, can you turn this into a extention with simple syntax bc i cant figure out my syntax and i think maybe you could add backface culling and stuff and maybe you could combine that with more colors to get a full thing but also pulls from textures 🙂 also please make it simple and support full menus ---

extension for the ray tracing or the whole engine? Ive slowly been working on making my voxel engine into an extension, and will eventually start on my [color adding](https://forum.makecode.com/t/1-million-colors-without-palette-change-technically/41304) thing. ---

i wonder if its possible to use a kind of raycasting just to render the front blocks and cull the rest ---

My fps went from 1426 to 3.6 in less time that it takes for me to eat a piece of fried chicken. How complex is this game? 😭 ---

also i think you should know that raycasting is real 3D, depending on the raycasting used. ---

(I didn’t see this post) so raycasting is the process of casting a ray (obviously), but across a grid. It can be used for technically any dimension, 1D, 2D, 3D, even 4D! As soon as the ray hits a block (or voxel) that is not air, it will use some math to extract a pixel from the blocks texture. Some benefits of raycasting is that you don’t have to “sort” the blocks to render them right, and you then have the ability to place/break like in Minecraft. If you would like I can try to expand further. ---
