Description

The c++ port is complete... mostly. It's still not quite fast enough so l moved the chunk logic to a separate thread so it won't cause stuttering on the main thread.

The terrain modification is fairly quick but you can see the gaps in the mesh which is just a visual artifact that is present until the mesh is refreshed.
I need to optimize the loading of the chunks to prioritize the space near the player so that it will load/reload faster since currently it may still be refreshing chunks around the edges of the render distance while there are large "holes" near the player.

Multithreading may end up being more trouble than it's worth but it gave a small performance boost and prevents the main thread from blocking so I’m encouraging to keep it. However, l'm still exploring my options. What I really need to do is implement the LOD system already but I was hoping to push the range I can render at max detail a little further.

It looks messy now but it's getting better I think
