Learning Apple's Metal API

Introduction

My inspiration for this project was a series of videos by John Lin showcasing his work on a voxel engine. Something about the aesthetic of the world and the freedom the player had to change reminded me of the many hours I played Minecraft as a child, and the game I always wanted Minecraft to be when I grew out of it. I taught myself Java to make mods for Minecraft in middle school, and while most of my recent work has been web-related, I thought this project would be a way to get back to my roots as a programmer and recapture some of the magic it had for me as a child.
