Class ColumnHeightmap

Namespace

Shard.Gameplay.Universe.World.Chunks

Assembly

Shard.Gameplay.Universe.dll

Builds a column's surface heightmap (Java: BlockChunk.updateHeight): the world-Y of the highest non-transparent block at each (x,z) cell, or the column floor when a cell is all air. Every one of our placeholder blocks is opaque, so "non-transparent" is just "non-air" for now (a real block palette with opacity data refines this later). The result is a ColumnBytePalette ready to SerializeShortKeys() into SetColumn.Heightmap.
