Okay, working on changing up my shader so it blurs things the further away they get, to reduce that weird static you get when things are far away. Problem is, I have no idea how to write a good blur function. Can anyone advise me? This is the relevant file, with my current attempt at the end: https://gitlab.com/AngularAngel/omnicraft/-/blob/master/resources/dirt_shader.frag

Alright, doing some code cleanup and then I'm going to implement ambient voxel lighting, I think. Not sure exactly how I want to do it - my freind mentioned doing something fancy with spherical harmonics, and that sounds really cool, but also maybe I'll leave that for later? :/

...Why is my dirt green? I don't understand! Aaaaaaaaargh! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Yeah I'm gonna start simple. I can upgrade to spherical harmonics or whatever later if I want to. XD

Alright, I got it more or less working. Looks kinda crappy when you have large spreads of a single block, but it'll do for now. Now, I need to figure out what I'm doing next, I guess. Mesh Optimization, maybe? :/

Anyway, I managed to implement a bunch of lighting channels stuffed into a long. No propagation algorithm yet, but that can wait, right now I'm implementing the code to actual draw this lighting.

Yeah, gonna work on mesh optimization next. Using this method, I think: https://0fps.net/2012/06/30/meshing-in-a-minecraft-game/

Alright, actually drawing lighting. It draws in the wrong place, and in the wrong way, but it draws!

Hmmm. Eh, looks fine to me! XD

Got my ambient lighting drawing, and in the right places! The built in ambient occlusion isn't working correctly, and I need to write actual propagation algorithms for it, but still! Progress! XD

Alright, this is better. I have things in the right spots, they just need to be the right size. Shouldn't be too hard! XD

Trying to fix ambient occlusion.

...It's a work in progress. XD

...Okay, but why tho. :/

Okay, think I'm mostly there!

Alright, that's better, but still some room for improvement. XD

Hmm, no, still needs some work. :/

Yessssss!!!! Finally!

...I'm drawing 1/6th of the faces. But, for now I'll take it. XD

Okay, here we go. Fixed that issue with some advice from: https://0fps.net/2013/07/03/ambient-occlusion-for-minecraft-like-worlds/

Included a screenshot of what it looks like when I deliberately do it the wrong way, and one with all three forms of lighting and occlusion. XD

Oh, what? It just works!? Bullshit, no way!! :0

.....I don't fucking believe it, get outa here. >:[

Yeah I was right. Hidden bugs, disgusting.

Here we have code that's being honest about it's bugs. Much preferable! >:[
