[axe] 2D minecraft game

[ben_g]

During a few days of being bored while no computer was available, I started to make a game similar to minecraft in axe. Right now, you can only play in creative mode and save only one 24*25 world (can be easily changed in the scource code). It has got 9 blocks so far (the engine supports 15(air not included)), and sand will fall when there is no block underneath it (but only when it's visible). The world isn't generated yet, so you just start with an empty square of 22*23 blocks (edges are made of bedrock, which can't be broken to avoid corrupting memory).

Here's a screenshot showing it in action:

Spoiler for screenshot in spoiler because it causes a bit of lag:

If you want to play minecraft during class: here's a (DCS) executable:

If you need an other shel or you want to see or modify the source:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11215358/MINESRC2.8Xp

Controls:
arrow keys: move
5: build mode (indicated by a black block at the right bottom of the screen)
2: break mode (indicated by the grey block at the right bottom of the screen)
+: next block (the current block is shown in the bottom right part of the screen)
-: previous block
1, ., 3, 4, 6, 8: place or break a block. 5 and 2 represent the character. The keys around it represent the places around the character. Press one of those keys to place or break a block in that place (depends of if you are in build mode or in break mode)
CLEAR: quit game. This will automatically save the world, but you will always start in the upper left corner of the world.

And I thought my classmates were impressed when I showed them minecraft on my DS...

[ben_g]

I like it!
Although, without smooth scrolling, it looks glitchy >.>

The scrolling is a little chunky, methinks. But nice idea, this could be quite fun.

I have made a new version: worlds are now 128 by 128 and are saved in appvars. Water and lava blocks are now animated and there are some other blocks added too.

Controls are still the same, but this time the executable is for mirage (so it should be supported ob more calcs).

MINECR3.8xp is the executable, MineSRC and GENWRLD are the source files (compile with axe 1.1.2).

On this line :

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2	!If GetCalc(Str0)->F  GetCalc(Str0,8192)->F

Add a return if it don't work :

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3

!If GetCalc(Str0)->F  Return!If GetCalc(Str0,8192)->F

getKey(98)
getKey(99)

A=0 or (A=10) or (A=11) or (A=12) or (A=15)
Is same than :
inData(A+1,Data(1,11,12,13,15))
But this last is more optimized.

Good luck on this.

[ben_g]

getkey(98) and getkey(99) are the 1 and 4 keys.

Also, thanks for the optimization and the return. I forgot that if it would fail to create the apvar, it would corrupt memory. the inData works for solid blocks and some not solid blocks. Some, like ladders and lava give problems, but that's probably a mistake on my side.

THis looks quite good actually. I hope it gets finished unlike the many clones or derivatives that got cancelled weeks after their start (such as Tinycraft).

[boot2490]

Is it top down or side view?

[Yeong]

according to screenshot, it's side view.
