A downloadable game

Purpose of the Project

This project was built to learn about graphic programming. I wanted to explore new concepts and gain hands-on experience.Achievements

I successfully created a compute shader that generates chunks of the planet and a post-processing shader that handles water, atmosphere, and clouds. The planet generation code is very fast, but the post-processing shaders are slower.

Performance and Limitations

Due to the slower post-processing shaders, the game requires a good computer to run smoothly. I could easily add graphic settings to improve performance or fix bugs, but I haven't done so.

Potential Expansions

The code is flexible enough to allow for creating an entire solar system. However, I don't plan to do that as I don’t think I would learn much more from it, and I don’t expect the project to gain attention or appreciation.
