## What it is
A small Minecraft-like voxel game written in C, originally built in 48 hours and since extended. It features an infinite procedurally generated world with biomes, lighting, day/night cycles, and an ECS-driven player and entities.

## Use cases
- play a lightweight open-source Minecraft clone
- study how a voxel game engine is implemented in C
- learn procedural terrain generation with noise
- explore ECS-based game architecture
- build a small OpenGL game from source

## When to choose
- you want readable C source code for a complete voxel game
- you need a minimal Minecraft-like demo to learn from or modify
- you're on a Unix-like system and comfortable building C libraries with make

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured, production Minecraft alternative with multiplayer and modding
- you're on Windows and don't want to deal with WSL/X workarounds
- you want a reusable game engine library rather than a standalone game

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: graphics, gaming-tools
- platform: cpp, c
- tags: minecraft-clone, voxel, procedural-generation, opengl, weekend-project, ecs, game-development, linux, macos
