Teardown uses an 8-bit color palette for voxel materials, so any voxel volume can have up to 255 different materials and the representation per voxel is then just a single byte to save memory. A material specifies not only the color, but also things such as roughness, emissiveness, reflectivity and physical material type (wood, metal, foliage, etc). Each object can have a unique palette, but a lot of them share the same one. When something breaks, all the pieces inherit the original object pa...| Voxagon Blog
Saving the complete state of a game at any time and then restoring to that state is hard for any game, but in a fully dynamic voxel world that constantly changes, controlled by dozens of lua scripts, all with their own internal state, implementing this was quite a challenge.| Voxagon Blog

It is a very simple device for about $15. The main SoC is GX6605S. There is some limited info about this chip on C-SKY page and some technical docs at their tools repo. It communicates with a Bluetooth module TLSR8266 using UART. There is also 4MB SPI flash holding the whole bootloader called GxLoader, Linux kernel and filesystem with the main app. The last important chip is RDA5815M which handles the RF to I/Q conversion. In the future I plan to add an USB-to-Ethernet adapter and repurpose i...| danman's blog
