methods

var voxelPortal = require('voxel-portal')

var createPortal = voxelPortal(game)

Return a function for making portals given a voxel-engine game instance.

var portal = createPortal(opts)

Create a portal opts.width width and opts.height tall at the coordinate (opts.x, opts.y, opts.z).

portal.show(target, direction)

Show the view from target looking with the direction vector.

target can have a .position or it can have .x, .y, and .z fields itself directly.

events

portal.on('enter', function () {})

When a player's position intersects the portal bounding box, this event fires.

It's up to you to teleport the player from here.
