Voxel Pac-man in pac-man.py

Voxel Foretress in fortress.py

Voxel PVZ in pvz.py

We invite you to create your voxel artwork, by putting your Taichi code in main.py!

Rules:

  • You can only import two modules: taichi (pip installation guide below) and scene.py (in the repo).
  • The code in main.py cannot exceed 99 lines. Each line cannot exceed 120 characters.

The available APIs are:

  • scene = Scene(voxel_edges, exposure)
  • scene.set_voxel(voxel_id, material, color)
  • material, color = scene.get_voxel(voxel_id)
  • scene.set_floor(height, color)
  • scene.set_directional_light(dir, noise, color)
  • scene.set_background_color(color)

Remember to call scene.finish() at last.

Taichi lang documentation: https://docs.taichi.graphics/

Modifying files other than main.py is not allowed.

Installation

Make sure your pip is up-to-date:

pip3 install pip --upgrade

Assume you have a Python 3 environment, simply run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

to install the dependencies of the voxel renderer.
