This results in an extremely visually noticeable improvement in latency
when adding or removing sprite data and makes the game feel more
responsive.
This happens, for instance, when picking up a sprite like an apple or
flower from the environment. We check to make sure that for items
with lighting (like Velorite) or changes that otherwise affect meshing
(like changing from fluid to nonfluid) this doesn't trigger.
In the process, also try to address a few edge cases related to block
detection, such as adding back previously solid sprites and removing
filters that may be vestiges of earlier logic.
- replace serde_derive by feature of serde
incl. source code modifications to compile
- reduce futures-timer to "2.0" to be same as async_std
- update notify
- removed mio, bincode and lz4 compress in common as networking is now in own crate
btw there is a better lz4 compress crate, which is newer than 2017
- update prometheus to 0.9
- can't update uvth yet due to usues
- hashbrown to 7.2 to only need a single version
- libsqlite3 update
- image didn't change as there is a problem with `image 0.23`
- switch old directories with newer directories-next
- no num upgrade as we still depend on num 0.2 anyways
- rodio and cpal upgrade
- const-tewaker update
- dispatch (untested) update
- git2 update
- iterations update
See the doc comments in `common/src/vol.rs` for more information on
the API itself.
The changes include:
* Consistent `Err`/`Error` naming.
* Types are named `...Error`.
* `enum` variants are named `...Err`.
* Rename `VolMap{2d, 3d}` -> `VolGrid{2d, 3d}`. This is in preparation
to an upcoming change where a “map” in the game related sense will
be added.
* Add volume iterators. There are two types of them:
* _Position_ iterators obtained from the trait `IntoPosIterator`
using the method
`fn pos_iter(self, lower_bound: Vec3<i32>, upper_bound: Vec3<i32>) -> ...`
which returns an iterator over `Vec3<i32>`.
* _Volume_ iterators obtained from the trait `IntoVolIterator`
using the method
`fn vol_iter(self, lower_bound: Vec3<i32>, upper_bound: Vec3<i32>) -> ...`
which returns an iterator over `(Vec3<i32>, &Self::Vox)`.
Those traits will usually be implemented by references to volume
types (i.e. `impl IntoVolIterator<'a> for &'a T` where `T` is some
type which usually implements several volume traits, such as `Chunk`).
* _Position_ iterators iterate over the positions valid for that
volume.
* _Volume_ iterators do the same but return not only the position
but also the voxel at that position, in each iteration.
* Introduce trait `RectSizedVol` for the use case which we have with
`Chonk`: A `Chonk` is sized only in x and y direction.
* Introduce traits `RasterableVol`, `RectRasterableVol`
* `RasterableVol` represents a volume that is compile-time sized and has
its lower bound at `(0, 0, 0)`. The name `RasterableVol` was chosen
because such a volume can be used with `VolGrid3d`.
* `RectRasterableVol` represents a volume that is compile-time sized at
least in x and y direction and has its lower bound at `(0, 0, z)`.
There's no requirement on he lower bound or size in z direction.
The name `RectRasterableVol` was chosen because such a volume can be
used with `VolGrid2d`.
