TinyCraft [Axe]

A 89 version would indeed be nice, although I wonder if in BASIC it would be fast enough? Does BASIC allow decent scrolling?

Yes I know it would be hard. I first though I could do it, but then I saw that greyscale sprites are just too pretty, so I would use Newprog.

BUT, I have decided to not start on that. I've gotten something else in mind. But that's still a secret.(Not that I wouldn't really care if you knew what it was, just that it's still only in planning stages )

Well, the surface level would have some exclusive tiles, as would the underground and cloud. You can exclude those and have specific loading sets for each, saving a few spaces.

Example: Lava isn't found on the surface (as far as I've seen anyways ), Cloud and CloudCactus are only in the clouds, and InfiniteFall isn't on the surface either. That brings it to 16 for the surface.

I made that suggestion earlier, as well when I first suggested we keep the tiles under 17.

So why wouldn't it work? Or am I just misreading and that's already the plan?

[ZippyDee]

That's the plan I've proposed anyway. I think it'd work like a charm. So as long as we've convinced the programmers that be, we're golden.

bump ?

Well, I haven't worked on this in a while (haven't worked on anything in a while, really). If anybody who's worked on the inventory system can post some progress, please do

You're not quitting calcs are you?

In this game, is there only 1 level or can the player go underground?

Normally there should be a nether, the mines and the air world(or something like that). All of these should be a kind of world. So 4 in total iirc.

three underground worlds, main world, and air world. so five.

That's good to hear. I was wondering too since Minecraft is kinda fun for the fact you can go up/down too. So I assume when you go down it enters a totally new map, right (kinda like in Final Fantasy 4 and The Reign of Legends 1, where going underground is like a totally different world)? Or are all maps superposed?

[nxtboy III]

When I said different levels, I meant since in minecraft you can dig down and stuff (Like what DJ_O said). Will that be made in TinyCraft?

[LincolnB]

I would be surprised if you could travel up and down on a third axis, because you would have to change the viewpoint from pure-overhead to bird's-eye-view, and render all the tiles in 3D...O.o would be very challenging.

[willrandship]

It won't, since this is a minicraft clone and minicraft doesn't do that.

You can dig dirt or sand down one block, but then it becomes a hole blck, so you can't dig deeper. Water, dirt or sand can fill the hole.
