Implement the ability to scroll through the available blocks and place the selected one down. The main technical challenge is rendering of the mini blocks.

The game tries to render hundreds (thousands?) of frames per second causing my laptop's fan to spin loudly. Activating VSync is a partial solution because it introduces unnecessary and annoying input lag. The better solution would be to implement a custom FPS limiter. The only minor downside I could think of, is the loss of smoothness that we gain by using VSync because we can't guarantee (I think) perfect frame synchronisation even if the game is manually locked at the refresh rate of the monitor.

After implementing fixed timestep physics

• Split main into multiple files (or functions at least)
• Remove "magic numbers". Maybe create a file containing all the game constants
• Move some free functions into custom traits or implement them as members (get_block_aabb() is a good contender for example)
• Implement the Iterator trait for Chunk instead of writing a triple-for loop each time we want to iterate over all the blocks of the chunk
• Reduce complexity of functions by splitting the functionality into multiple smaller ones (main and physics modules need some work)
• Add comments and references to all external resources used. Briefly explain the algorithms and methods used to accomplish various tasks (collision detection and resolution for example)

Using glLineWidth and glDrawArrays with GL_LINES

We want the crosshair to invert the color of the background behind it using a different blend function. That way it will always be visible under any circumstance.
