[ALPHA] Crafter

[Oil_boi]

I have been live streaming building this game and I am having a lot of fun. This game is built from scratch with a bunch of assets from Mineclone 2

This is designed to run on 5.3.0-DEV

An update: I have added basic redstone

Also there is a much better Item collection magnet in place now

An update, there are quite a few changes to the game. You can see them here:

Guys, I just had a MASSIVE breakthrough with redstone. Now instead of using localized map-based attempts to create correct power source distribution it 100% CORRECTLY routes power through the dust EFFICIENTLY with multiple power sources.

A video: https://youtu.be/3gXpGMigOzU

Even something this size is instant:



The solution was:

• Index all dust and power sources into a table
• Make a globalstep that waits on the table to be filled
• Create a temporary table that indexes through each node of dust at level 0
• Index through each power source and pathfind outwards to lower level dust
• Decode the indexed and calculated tables into vectors and then set all the nodes
• Clear index table and wait again for new table

Would be so nice to have a little "thumbs up" button here, I feel silly just posting to say... "Nice!"

That is awesome. You're essentially decoupling that calculation from the engine stuff, so using this technique one can imagine offloading the calculation to an external service via the built-in HTTP Requests API.

Maybe that's even a possible solution to calculating stuff happening outside of the active mapblocks. That would certainly be a massive improvement of immersion as Minetest currently plays like The Truman Show in regards to the world feeling ”alive”. Like they say, "if a tree falls in a forest…", that could actually be made to happen.

Thanks for the peppy videos btw, they're inspiring!

Yes that's exactly what is happening since the api was too slow for me to utilize :D

ALSO, I added in a lot more stuff, here is a video: https://youtu.be/B9PobENTEXA

it's a bit clunky for now, but, I added in buttons, levers, repeaters, comparators, pistons, new dust logic, lights, torch input inversion.

[Oil_boi]

I GOT EVERYTHING WORKING!!!

Changelog:

Code: Select all

--add in redstone:
torch, repeater, comparator, inverter, piston, player detector,light,
redstone ore - drops 4,5 redstone dust, turns on when punched

HERE'S THE VIDEO!

Excellent videos lately! Are you looking to include a give function in that craftguide? I'm to lazy to run giveme commands.

Let's give it a try!

[Oil_boi]

Update: Cheat mode is now implemented https://youtu.be/N8WRL62JDsk

[Oil_boi]

Minecarts now work properly! If you ride them, they go at full speed.

It's great how smooth the game plays compared to other MT games I've tried. I fiddled with the stepheight to get automatic climbing by default (though without speed penalty) and it was quite enjoyable.

Thanks Texmex! If you like that, check this out. The pig will look at you when it's walking around:

edit: now it moves smoothly I updated the picture link too

I put a prototype of a gun into the game, it has smoke trails and creates bullet holes. You can also shoot mobs with it.
Also, the pigs are very, very aggressive

Yet another update for today: The prototype for bows are in the game!

Gotta make the arrows stick in whatever they hit, including mobs and players..somehow!

[cHyper-0815OL]

nice (sub-)game ...

hope 2 c more features will be added!

keep up the good work !!

which version of minetest do this game support?

Thank you! And:

Sfan5 Latest Build: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1523
Specifically, latest github in general. But this is what I program the game in.

I have started creating Music for the game. Here is version one:

sounds.zip

(533.36 KiB) Downloaded 27 times

You simply unzip the file and put the sounds folder in your Minetest directory. When you start the game it will have the menu music playing.

Here is a video of the menu music:

I rewrote the pig mob, the improvements are as follows:

• Better code stability
• Hostility (punch it and it will chase you and punch you, if you don't go near it for 20 seconds it won't be hostile anymore)
• Better movement
• Better head code, uses actual radians instead of degrees
• Can look all the way up and down
• New blender model which uses the correct axis of the mob
• Numerous other improvements which pave the way for advancements

The next mob will be an Exploder. A mob which follows you using pathfinding then explodes.

Here is a video on the new pig: https://youtu.be/MCmEv1Bfv2Y

This sounds a lot like a creeper from MineCraft :D

more mobs on the way... awesome...
keep up the good work!

You might be right :D

Thanks I'll keep it up!

I added in a prototype for the credits screen by the way, it's still super buggy and doesn't work on smaller screens but it's in there to test. Here's a video of it:

https://youtu.be/E5R6X_Jw6V8

[Oil_boi]

Another huge update! Stairs, slabs, walls, fences, and glass are added in :D

Here's a video on it:
