5d

An experimental voxel game where you can move in two extra spatial dimensions.

Technologies

• C++
• Vulkan

Controls

• WASD to move around, space to jump, left/right click to build/break
• Hold shift while walking to walk in U/V coordinates instead of X/Z. Each block will scroll in the extra two dimensions
• Press V to toggle your view between X/Z and U/V coordinates

Development

To clone:

git clone git@github.com:jeffbaumes/5d.git --recurse-submodules

If you already pulled but forgot to add --recuse-submodules pull the submodules with:

git submodule update --init

Set up your development environment by following the instructions in the Vulkan tutorial. You will also need the dependencies for GameNetworkingSockets.

To build:

mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ..    # Press 'c', set VULKAN_SDK_PATH appropriately, then press 'g' to generate
make -j4     # Or run whatever other build system you set up

On Mac if you get a CMake error: Could NOT find OpenSSL, you can try something like the following (fill in your own homebrew path for your openssl version):

ccmake .. -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl\@1.1/1.1.1g

To run, first set your Vulkan path:

export VULKAN_SDK_PATH=Your Vulkan SDK path (include up to vulkan/[architecture])

Then for Mac:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK_PATH/lib
export VK_LAYER_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK_PATH/share/vulkan/explicit_layer.d
export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=$VULKAN_SDK_PATH/share/vulkan/icd.d/MoltenVK_icd.json

For Linux set these instead:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK_PATH/lib
export VK_LAYER_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK_PATH/etc/vulkan/explicit_layer.d

Finally, from the build/ directory:

src/5d

To conform to the coding style, set your vscode setting:

C_Cpp: Clang_format_fallback Style

to

{ BasedOnStyle: Google, IndentWidth: 4, ColumnLimit: 0 }

Until someone finishes clang-format dangling parentheses we will stick with long lines.
