VoxelSimulation

A client/server abstraction for wrapping voxeljs and doing chunk generation on the server.

Server

    var Server = require('voxel-async-simulation/server');
    var app = new Server();
    //you're probably on localhost and will need these headers
    app.use(function(req,res,next){
        res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*"); //this gets served on localhost
        res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'PUT, PATCH, GET, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS');
        res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
        res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true);
        next();
    });
    app.setGenerator(/*chunk generator factory function*/);
    //app.setStorage(Server.Storage.memory()); //if you want to cache in memory
    app.setStorage(Server.Storage.files('./data')); //to save to disk
    app.listen(8081, function(){
        console.log('Server listening on port 8081.');
    });

Client

Next make a client that will connect to your chunkserver javascript var client = new VoxelSimulation.Client({ texturePack : 'freeture', //assumes a minecraft-like directory layout container : document.body, weatherCycle : [ 'clear', 'cloudy', 'sprinkle', 'rain', 'stormy', 'rain', 'sprinkle', 'cloudy', 'clear', 'clear', 'clear', 'clear' ], quality : 1, //1, 2 or 3 where 1 is lowest quality save : true }); return client; Running it

Now let's build the app(with browserify):

browserify example-client.js -o app.js

then run the example server:

node example-server.js

and access the html root

Biomes

Using voxel-biomes you can support biomes as a series of different generators. See an example of this in the source. To execute this inside this project, you need to manually npm install voxel-biomes;

Testing

Eventually it'll be:

mocha

Enjoy,
