  5. Yup. A.k.a. depth testing†. TFA illustrates it under ‘More performance’: https://github.com/s-macke/VoxelSpace#more-performance Edit : Originally, I had said: “Though in a highly constrained scenario such as this, with the right approach…

  8. …is an open PR that hooks window events instead (I made similar edits locally that make it work). https://github.com/s-macke/VoxelSpace/pull/13 . The distance rendering works once you move and force a redraw.
