Arduino Nano Minecraft-Esque World Generation System
Gee, what a mouthful. I am making some arduino code that generates a blocky world similar to minecraft's, then sends the world data through serial into a PC. The PC, using a python script, renders the world. Very unoptimized, though.
The world itself is made of 121 chunks, each measuing 4x6x4 blocks, leading to a total of 11,616 blocks. This is the absolute maximum I could manage with the limited SRAM of the Arduino Nano. (in theory, the Arduino Mega 2560 could make a map 4 times bigger, or handle extremely simple mobs :P)
(There are also 256 types of blocks)
I took a lot of inspiration from PortalRunner, who ran a (very) limited minecraft server in an ESP32. Obviously, he could do that because the ESP32-C3 he used had 400kB SRAM, over 200x more than my puny little Nano.
TODO:
- Load the correct block type depending on the y-level (and random chance)
- Get an arduino mega
