See the code on GitHub: github.com/jdah/minecraft-wee...
NOTES:
* The water and lava textures are from the now defunct (?) Painterly Pack, my animation skills weren't up to the challenge.
* The depth sorting algorithm depicted is mergesort but it's mislabled as quicksort (oops!). I was initially using mergesort but ended up using quicksort in the game itself.

“And after about an hour of work I have a blank window” is the most C thing I’ve ever heard
But to me, doing the blocks with an infinite generated seed is the very C thing.
It is pretty hard in most languages, since few "serious" languages include any way to put a pixel on the screen. So either you use a library (not from scratch) or start making OS calls and takes some time. The languages that DO have a way to put pixels on a screen built in, usually it isn't sufficiently powerful to do 3d rendering.
@@JackMott do you consider opengl as a library
@@brainloading5543 Good question! Sure, so is the operating system api, and I suppose by convention when people say "From scratch" they don't usually mean "also the 3d api and operating system"
@@JackMott I could imagine the guy who made this video self coding his own graphics api as well.

More examples of why you should be paid on the hours of knowledge it took to learn how to do your job, not the hours spent doing your job. This man coded Minecraft in 12 hours, but to learn to code this way in C would have taken him thousands of hours. Huge respect.
thats why theres higher positions in jobs
Not only is this the most shallow, surface level take, but it's also how the world works anyway. Maybe you've heard about things like colleges, universities, apprenticeships, you know, things that help you learn a skill to get paid more?
@@ahall9839 so if you asked me to make a game for you and I did it in 10 hours you would pay the same as you would i if it took me a year? If your answer is yes than you're the minority as many people would disagree. Maybe do research into areas such a freelance before making a stupid comment.
@@jackhawkins7285 What? Are you 5? If you made a game that was worth anything in 10 hours you could sell it yourself. Wtf is this juvenile mindset? People are payed for what they produce.

As someone who programmed in C and also tried to make a 3D engine, I think this man has superpowers. I don't understand how it's possible to write so much C code on such hard topics this easily, I feel like this should be illegal.
I can't believe that he wrote so much code in C in just 48 hours with no big errors or memory leaks / segfaults.
My guess is that he tried multiple times and just recorded the last one
Seeing just how much code it took just to get a green square blew my mind.
Learning opengl in a nutshell
Don't worry. Making the rectangle is the hardest part. In terms of pure opengl code, there is not very much different concepts you will be using. From there on, it's mostly just abstractions.

OpenGL is absurdly verbose. That's not to say 3D rendering doesn't require a shit ton of code (it does), but OpenGL definitely at least doubles the number of lines for all the graphics rendering
Now think about the people wanting a Minecraft update
"Every other guy on youtube used some kind of cheat like pre-existing useful things, so I destroyed spacetime and created a brand new reality"
And imported a bunch of stuff from our reality and bwammm.. 1.5 billion years later...
jup he took there honour in slapped it to the bare ground XD
He accuses people of being cheaters then literally says, "Thankfully I have a library called GLFW, that does all the heavy lifting for me"... completely negates what he is accusing people of lol
@@robertstrickland9722 It seems to me that he didn't set out with an absolute goal like doing it without using the work of others at all. More like he just went a level deeper than the others. I mean otherwise you would have to not use any C libraries not made by yourself which would make this take far longer (if possible at all). Then you could complain that he's even using C in the first place, which is higher-level than x86 (or whatever his architecture is) assembly. Then you could say that all the instructions in assembly are machine opcodes and you're using work done by the developers of assembly for your architecture. All right then, "making Minecraft in machine language". But wait, you will also invariably be making system calls made by the developers of your operating system and thus you have to write your own. What about the kernel? Even if you write your own kernel, you're still using a CPU (as well as peripherals) with an architecture made by others. So in the end, if you don't want to use the work of others at all, you will have to make your own CPU, with its own architecture, from scratch, mining the materials for the transistors out of the dirt with no tools. In other words, you would have to play IRL Minecraft. I'm evidently not one to speak loudly about how seriously other people need to be taken but I think "not using shortcuts" was more of a tongue-in-cheek statement.

@@joeman123964 Congrats on that, mate!
I just started coding this year and I was watching this video like wtf does any of this mean. It looks like an alien language to me.
My man is insane. First, he makes google developers look silly, next, he put copper into his version, and copper was announced to be in minecraft AFTER this video
And he tried to make mountain biomes.
It's not hard at all to add an ore into MC. What is hard though is deciding how that ore should be valuable and if it should even be in the game in the first place.
@@arnox4554 while that might be true loads of mods have added copper ore and placed it well enough around iron tier but gives you more options within the mod along with people wanting more ores in the games and more blocks, Minecraft does need constantly a new influx of new blocks and ores to keep the game fresh
@@Prince_-vu4wu Yeah but it's very different when you're working on the actual main game itself where your changes will not just be permanently incorporated into all MC games (without mods of course), but also will be incorporated in all future versions of the game.
@@arnox4554 true but it's something the community has wanted for a while plus it's adding new varients of blocks which can bring a lot of new fun things and i know a lot of people are really hyped for it being added only thing i'm not happy for is wanting to cry while in caves more from getting jump scared
Amazing video, I could however not finish it due to the flashing white that comes from the screen while it zooms by. What little I could see was amazing and you seem like a very competent programmer and it was a nice insight into what more advanced coding looks like. Thanks!
I love watching the randomly generated terrain come out of the fog seamlessly.
I'm currently working on a master's degree in computer science and I highly doubt I could do something like this at my current level AT ALL, let alone in 48 hours. Well done mate
That's because school does next to nothing for you. The only way to become proficient is to actually code. Masters degrees in particular are a huge waste of time; there is no comparison in terms of skill level when comparing someone who was coding for 5 years versus someone who was going to school to learn to code for five years. The one thing I've seen college grads have an advantage on is *sometimes* understanding 3 dimensional calculus and more often a better understanding of data structures and when to use them (although that usually becomes "when to use hashmap"). The big takeaway is you don't actually go to school to learn to code: you go to school to learn to college/university. You learn theory and become a "computer scientist" instead of a software engineer. The amount of code people who have wasted their time at school have actually put out is next to nothing. A highschooler can be taught to code at a professional level, especially if he's being mentored by the previous generation of engineers; college will get you fired and keep you away from high paying jobs if you treat it as anything other than a ticket past the hr firewall.
@@Akalos1 Well it could be useful for your resume
I remember when I went to school for computer science. I had more skill than anyone there because I live and breathe code since 1990. People going to school for it limit their exposure to programming to only classroom learning. However, programming requires a lot more than that, it requires one to learn how to use the tools given to solve a grand problem. One of the issues I see is schools focus too much on OOP design that takes the user out of problem solving and more on how to think abstractly or design patterns(ie. the terrible software engineering class). I remember all my projects were so well written and unique that my professors didn't believe or trust my abilities at first, until my senior capstone project that they saw me design and implement over the course of the semester. To get to this level is going to take more than just what you do in school or at work try working on projects that will build your skill overtime.
@@Akalos1 that's exactly what I think
@@eeeesyywuwiz2836 I mean depends on the job. When it comes down to a regular programming job they could give a rats ass if you have a master's if you can't code. If he's going into computer science research then yes it would be very helpful

Honestly, if most game developers actually optimised their code things would be a lot better
@@RobotronSage as someone with a potato pc I completely agree with that. The problem is that most of the time when you optimize something you get 1 fps more. For example, Minecraft java edition is slow af, but it's actually well optimized, Minecraft bedrock edition is faster because C++ is faster than java

Wow this is really impressive and i really liked how you broke it down and made it easy for someone like me who doesn't code to understand.
I love this, and I especially love how you start with "I don't need all that helpful stuff." followed by immediately including libraries. :P
“These people are using game engines, I’ll do it from scratch” * imports graphics library * imports 3D math library
Doing it from scratch would mean creating your own chips, since these days you get floating points baked into the chip. Do it on a c-64 in machine language, no assembly, just numbers that you poke into memory like we did in the old days and you will impress me :)
there is a difference in impressiveness between buying your own car and customizing it and then driving it places and ordering parts and building the car yourself first before driving it places "well he said he isn't gonna use a pre built car, but immediately ordered parts, lol"
@@Maric18 My point was that, say, Unity doesn’t actually help much with creating a Minecraft-like game either and you still need to write most of the code he did. Using C equals showing off. You are writing the same but way more verbose code than what you would write in C++ or C#. You would still generate and sort meshes, write shaders and load textures, but with less time spent on plumbing. If you bothered enough to code mesh generators in C, could just a as well write your own vector lib with SSE assembly. Kinda pointless, but about as pointless as using C for personal gamedev when C++ exists. Not necessarily “modern C++”, most of which is cancer.

Especially phrases like "that took a good hour of coding", well, sometimes you can't find a way to fix a simple bug in several hours, even when the code is WAY less complicated =) Anyway, good luck, that's really an achievement for two days.
"and after an hour or so" Proceeds to show a task that would have taken me 2 days for sure.

Too smart for me every second
Appreciate it
Interestingly enough, if we take that the guy wasn't sleeping, he was typing 15 lines of code a minute(taking that his repo has 42k lines and that the average line of code has 10 characters ), with all the testing and bug fixes. If truly done, this is one of the most impressive things I've seen
Some was copy paste and dependence’s like glfw
That's wayyyy tooo impressive man! kudos to you.
This guy should continue making this it’s a great mc clone
imagine the amount of feeling of satisfy this guy got from thousand of hour of study to be able to build minecraft with C.
coding is probably just like blender

That is impressive man, good job.
I've been thinking about learning to code, but what you do looks beautiful and scary at the same time
Bro that is opengl it's hello but other stuff are way easier and less scary it's easier to write entire 2d games in other languages than to load a simple cube in opengl

Lol yea

Coding interviewers after seeing this video: "Good day, gentlemen. I am here to change the future."
I'm not even a coder, so I can imagine how intimidating that must sound💀
that's insane, man. good job
I sometimes like to think I am a basic coder, then I see someone like this guy and realize I am a fool.
I think I’m good at it until I realise I’m doing the programming equivalent of banging rocks together
I have finally found someone who is too cool for classes, namespaces, interfaces, polymorphism, etc. You are an instant subscribe.
I have to use C# at work at the moment and I agree. Classes and stuff can be a useful tool, but they're only useful with certain things.
However he’s definitely using an object oriented approach at coding. Just wrapped in plain C
@@lsfornells If that, then why not just use C++? From my experience, that approach is good for things like Vectors and stuff which could be their own datatypes but for real objects, that method is very bad. The mess it creates is really bad. Even C++ OOP creates a big mess, so I don't use it.
this was a fascinating peek into how games are REALLY developed. i never thought of some of these problems existing, and it really makes me appreciate the work that goes into these things. bravo! MAN that grass is green, though.
Agreed
This isn't how games are REALLY developed though. Nowadays almost every games are built using a game engine like Unity or Unreal or whatever, which provide libraries and API to make it more convenient. The whole point of this video is that he did not use one of these game engines.
@@matixlol Unity only mostly used by starter developers like unreal engine, but you are right
@@matixlol Plenty of game developers made their own engines for the purposes of their games. You mention the Unreal engine. Guess which game it was made for.
@@zorkan111 please tell me, was it a 1-man-project or how is that related to small-scale game development?
This man is the living embodiment of the "Program in C" song. Bravo 👏👏👏
i know this video is old but you should make this into a series, its really entertaining for some reason.
This man here has done a better job at recreating minecraft than most YTbers or knock off clones could ever dream of. And this was all done mostly from the ground up. Mad respect for actually getting transparency to work right!
The man did a better job at minecraft than microsoft did that's for sure
@@RobotronSage what... I don't see any logic behind your statement
My face when he said "So I had to leave that for the next day"...
Like he did all that in less than a day??? That would take me months honestly
@@curiously-cinnamon that would take me years

@Glizzster ¿Qué pasa?
I wish I watched this sooner bro this is beyond impressive in 2 days no less. I wish I could get to that level of skill.
Something I realised because of this video is just how many checks a game with a procedurally generated world had to go through to make everything consistent and coherent. Like with the tree for example. If the tree spawns on the edge of a chunk then the leaves will be cut off so the game has to keep that in mind when rendering in the next. And the same goes for ore veins, and for consistency it also needs to keep in mind the height of the adjacent chunk so you won't have a chunk at an average height of 65 next to a chunk with an average height of 165 for example. It's pretty cool stuff honestly
