AdvChkSys

AdvChkSys is a high-performance, extensible chunked world management library for .NET, designed for games, simulations, and voxel engines. It provides efficient memory management, chunk loading/unloading, resource tracking, event hooks, serialization, and optional constraints for 2D and 3D chunk-based worlds.

---

Features

• 2D and 3D Chunk Management
  Efficient, thread-safe managers for 2D and 3D chunks with support for custom data types.

• Memory Efficiency
  LRU caching, array pooling, and all-air chunk singletons minimize memory usage and maximize performance.

• Resource Tracking
  Built-in resource manager tracks allocated chunks and supports diagnostics and pooling.

• Event System
  Thread-safe events for chunk lifecycle: loading, unloading, saving, and more.

• World Constraints
  Optional constraints for world size and loaded chunk limits.

• Serialization
  Fast binary serialization/deserialization for chunk data.

• Async Utilities
  Helpers for running chunk tasks asynchronously.

• Python/.NET Interop
  Python bindings for scripting and integration.

Getting Started

Requirements

• .NET Standard 2.1 or later

Building

dotnet build src/AdvChkSys/AdvChkSys.csproj

Basic Usage

using AdvChkSys;
using AdvChkSys.Manager;

// Create a 2D chunk manager
var manager2D = AdvChkSys.AdvChkSys.Create2DManager();

// Create or load a chunk
var chunk = manager2D.LoadOrCreateChunk(0, 0, 32, 32);

// Set a cell value
chunk[0, 0] = 42;

// Unload a chunk
manager2D.UnloadChunk(0, 0);
