Polygons ... are they triangles in minecraft ?

A polygon, for those who don't know, is a plane figure with at least three straight sides and angles, and typically five or more. That is, a square, rectangle, triangle, parallelogram, octagon, decagon, hexagon, pentagon, or other similar figure.

I know it's mathematical definition. Usually Polygons in games are triangles (at least in all cases I met) because you can build out of them any possible shape, but in minecraft you need only squares ...

STFU, it's learning time!

In the strictest sense, Minecraft does have a voxel engine; terrain blocks are stored according to relative positions, rather than explicit coordinates, like a pixel map only 3D. However, each of those blocks is then converted 1:1 into a set of polygon faces for rendering. There are other voxel engines which convert voxel data into polygons before rendering, because modern GPUs are very good at drawing polygons. The difference here is the 1:1 correlation between blocks and faces. While necessary to maintain the blocky nature of the game, you could view the voxel data simply as a compressed version of listing out each polygon by coordinate. In this respect, it is not so terribly different from any bolygon-based model. I would consider it a hybrid.

In a fully realized voxel engine, you are often dealing with a massive scale between your largest objects and your smallest voxel units. Because of this, the engines usually employ specialized drawing techniques, like the marching cubes algorithm, which converts voxel data into polygon surfaces, but which can be used at varying levels of resolution so that you have control over your end poly-count. Different storage structures, such as octtrees, are often an efficient way of storing large amounts of uniform data by using voxels of varying scales.

Did you mean to say "bolygon"? Because that ain't a word as far as I know.

I think polygon is a pokemon so that might be it?

...

OK, if you don't speak English, you don't speak English. But commenting on English grammar discussions is probably not the most productive use of your time.

I was making a joke XD I thought it didnt mean that though I didnt exactly now what it means

Nope, the pokemon is named "Porygon", altough its name might come from "polygon", what is a triangle in a game or some other programm.

Bolygons are imitation polygons from the Indian video game industry.

You forgot Bicrosoft.

I believe it's a reference to 'Bollywood', the Indian film industry. Also a joke.

yup. you don't get to choose avenger. the schmetterling decided for you.

I can control your thoughts...

Say that in your creepiest voice possible, with the creepiest look possible. Then double the creepiness, add this guy, then times by the speed of light squared. You'll be around half of the level of my creepiness when I say that. I've made grown men faint by saying that.

The units don't work out unless you include a rate of change.

You don't need to see my rate of change. These are not the droids you're looking for.
