## Library & Tooling Updates

### voxel-mapper

![voxel-mapper-img](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amethyst/voxel-mapper/master/screenshots/blending.png)

[voxel-mapper](https://github.com/amethyst/voxel-mapper) is a new library and
in-game editor for voxel maps, smooth or cubey. The ultimate goal of the project
is to make it easy for artists and programmers alike to generate volumetric game
content, either manually or procedurally. The library's author @bonsairobo has
written a couple posts about the [underlying meshing technology](https://medium.com/@bonsairobo/smooth-voxel-mapping-a-technical-deep-dive-on-real-time-surface-nets-and-texturing-ef06d0f8ca14)
as well as how the [camera resolves collisions](https://medium.com/@bonsairobo/a-3rd-person-camera-in-complex-voxel-world-523944d5335c)
with arbitrary voxel geometry.

Upcoming on the roadmap are procedural generation algorithms for generating
maps, new kinds of voxels, and graphical improvements. Currently, the library
and editor depend on the Amethyst engine version 0.15, but there is a desire to
make the library engine-agnostic. Contributions are welcome!
