First part is done. After going back to the drawing board I finally
came up with the correct formula to determine whether an object in our
octree is in the view or not. In our special case, it takes just the
following 3 lines:
if (max_x < min.x() || min_x > max.x()) return false;
if (max_yz < (min.y() - max.z()) || min_yz > (max.y() - min.z()))
return false;
return true;
min_x,max_x,min_yz and max_yz are the corners of the map view.
min and max are the corners of the object (or chunk) bounding box.
Line one should be self-explanatory. We check for an overlap on the x-axis.
Line two is basically a projection of the remaining two dimensions
onto one and a check for overlap with the map view at a given height.
It's all in CVS and you can fire up worldtest to see stuff in action.
What's left to do now is the drawing order. It's nearly right, but not
quite. Hope figuring that one out doesn't take as long as the above!
