Minecraft-like World

[Opcode]

Not so much success on Linux. I notice there's quite a long input delay (takes literally 5-10 seconds for a key to register) and the textures are not quite to scale for each block.

That's just Creative Mode in the game. It's not a cheat/cheating.

[Opcode]

Has anyone gotten this work on Linux properly? I'd like to toy with it more but can't seem to figure out why it's not showing textures properly and has massive input lag.

Kelebrindae is using shaders to display the graphics. When Ogre can't load a shader or script you'll get a default white texture.
My guess is either your hardware is too old or Ogre simply can't find the shaders specified within the material script.

Could you post your Ogre log? That may help us pinpoint your problem.
If you're not sure how to create the log just add the #PB_Engine3D_DebugLog flag to InitEngine3D() which should create a Ogre.log file within the root folder.

As for the input lag that may be hardware related as well. This isn't as optimized as the actual minecraft game, but it's still a very nice example that Kelebrindae has shared with us.

Debugger is throwing me errors of the images not existing (unmodified original source) I renamed the texturesLib folder to textureslib due to the source relying on the lower case equivalent (Linux being case sensitive). Plainly clear the white boxes are due to the textures not being loaded. I also notice the Skybox doesn't load as well. Might be a directory issue or something.

Here's the Ogre log from compile to ingame.

If you changed the texture folder's name then make sure you also change Add3DArchive()'s texture path to match that name.
If you didn't that would explain why your textures are missing.

I also read your Ogre log and apparently somewhere within the GLSL shader there is an implicit conversion between a float and an integer. Which is stopping the shader from working correctly.
I haven't had the chance to scan through the shader yet, but things like this are usually pretty easy to fix.
If I get some more free time later I'll try to track it down for you.
