VoxelEngine

A learning voxel engine written in C# (.NET 10) on top of OpenTK 4 / OpenGL 3.3.

Status

Early baseline. The current goal is rendering a single face-culled, textured 16×16×16 chunk that you can fly around with a free camera — the structural core the rest of the engine builds on.

Tech stack

• .NET 10 / C#
• OpenTK 4.9.4 — windowing, OpenGL bindings, and math
• StbImageSharp — texture (PNG) loading

Build & run

Requires the .NET 10 SDK.

dotnet run --project VoxelEngine.csproj

Once the baseline is running: WASD to move, mouse to look, Esc to quit.

Project layout

Core/       game window + loop
Rendering/  shader, texture, camera, chunk renderer (OpenGL)
World/       block model, registry, chunk, mesher (no OpenGL)
Assets/     shaders + texture atlas

The World/ layer is intentionally free of any OpenGL dependency so the voxel logic can be unit-tested headless.

Roadmap

• Baseline: window, fly-camera, one face-culled textured chunk
• Procedural terrain (noise)
• Multiple chunks + frustum culling
• Player controller + AABB collision
• Block break / place
• Lighting
