# Hopson97/MineCraft-One-Week-Challenge

I challenged myself to see if I could create a voxel game (Minecraft-like) in just one week using C++ and OpenGL, and here is the result

## What it is
A Minecraft-like voxel game written in C++ with OpenGL and SFML, created as a one-week coding challenge documented in a video. It serves primarily as an educational example of building a voxel engine from scratch.

## Use cases
- learn how to build a voxel game engine in C++
- study an OpenGL-based Minecraft clone
- follow along with a one-week game development challenge
- see how chunk-based world rendering works
- use as a starting point for my own voxel game

## When to choose
- you want readable, educational source code for a voxel engine
- you are learning C++ game development with OpenGL and SFML
- you want a small, minimal Minecraft clone to study or fork

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, feature-complete Minecraft clone
- you want polished graphics and long-term support
- you need a project with a license permitting reuse

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: graphics, gaming-tools, tutorials
- platform: cpp, windows, cross-platform
- tags: minecraft-clone, voxel-game, opengl, sfml, learning-project, game-challenge, game-development, linux, desktop
