User can choose between 5 different biome types

Every texture is mapped to a certain height on the y-axis. User can change the height boundaries for different textures and alter the look of the terrain mesh.

Before building the project, ensure you have the following installed:

• CMake (version 3.10 or later)
• AC++ Compiler supporting C++17
• GLFW:

On macOS, you can install GLFW using Homebrew:

brew install glfw

• GLEW:

Install GLEW using Homebrew:

brew install glew

• OpenGL:

macOS provides OpenGL as part of its system libraries, so no additional installation is needed.

• ImGui:

The ImGui library is included in the project under the vendor/ImGui directory, so no extra installation is needed for it.

• Fly mode allows you to move and look around the scene. Hides and captures your mouse cursor.
• User-input mode shows your mouse cursor and allows you to interact with the ImGui window.

• The Chernos OpenGL beginner serieshelped me get the grasp of the basic concepts and abstractions. My implementation is greatly inspired by the tutorial series.

• OGLDevs(Etay Meiri) Terrain Generation series

  which helped me understand different algorithms and methods described in the book fromTrent Polack - Focus on 3D Terrain Programming. I tried to replicate his implementation using my framework.Link to the Etay's GitHub repo.
