Console Craft!
Console Craft!
First of all I just want to thank everyone on the Indie Resource forums <3 Without you guys i probably couldn't even write a hello world program.
I wrote this game as sort of a self test, to see if i could do it. And i did Its based on the game minecraft, but its a console app in C#. there are 8 blocks if you include air and bedrock. 6 of the 8 are placeable.
You move using the numpad, so 8 directions. And you place blocks by pressing their corresponding key followed by a direction on the numpad, so W then 6 would place a "wall" block to the right of the player
Heres a screenshot:
And a link to the game: http://www.mediafire.com/?f2xouze2o2aqpr7
NOTE: It is still rather buggy, especially when you try to place blocks really fast. and if blocks arent placing and your only moving once per every 2 keypresses just start spamming directions and q, it will fix itself

Haha! Nice screenshot
Cool game, too! I am surprised to see how smooth the movement is!

Re: Console Craft!
Thanks When you suggested I use stringbuilder it really smoothed up the movement, because the whole thing refreshes in just 2 write functions(board and the inventory) You only really see the screen blink when you move fast.

Re: Console Craft!
Just as a headsup I haven't abandoned this project, in fact i've put in a lot more work into it, rebuilding it from scratch . Still using C# but it will be fully compatible with linux through the use of Mono. I'm working on world generation and map storage at the moment
Heres a few upadted screenshots:
Forest biome generation, I still need to tweak it a bit but this is it so far:
And here is desert biome generation, I still need to make it so cacti can't spawn right next to anything other than empty space:

Iz looking at matrix?
What sort of generation is it? Rolling on a table, or procedural, with many generations begetting each other?
