Minetest-c55

Post by celeron55 »

Well, the project name is still just random but...

Let me represent "Project Minetest-c55":

It basically copycats Minecraft and InfiniMiner like hell, but I like to say it is /inspired/ from them. I am hoping it will evolve into it's own type of a game.

- The basic minecraft stuff: digging, placing blocks, crafting items and tools and other stuff and using them.
- Multiplayer over network
- Has a neat map generator and almost infinite height limit (same as the horizontal limits)
- A decently performing minecraft-like lighting engine.
- Thanks to Irrlicht, runs natively on Windows and Linux.

Awesome!

It runs roughly a million times faster than the actual Minecraft.

I went to go to your server and it was kind of cool, tough what exactly is the point in this game? or is it just something like LEGO ? :D

I can tell you haven't played minecraft :)

just creating for the sake of creating. its fun.

btw, I played it and HOLYY CRAPP HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO RENDER SO MANY CUBES AT ONCE WITHOUT DROPPING BELOW 30FPS??? Minecraft uses a fog to prevent so many cubes from being drawn at once, this is just crazy. gfj bro this definitely has potential :D

Now start thinking about innovations and how you would move away from minecraft/infiniminer

EDIT:
nice lighting btw it looks awesome. Also, I built a small castle on your server on the water :P

My guesses:
  • Without starting a language flame war, C++ is generally twice as fast as Java, which Minecraft is written in. The advantage of Java is that it's multiplatform and can run in a browser.
  • I don't know if Minecraft uses hardware rendering. Utilizing your graphics card gives a crazy increase in performance (compare the software renderers to the DX and OGL ones).

I finally found out what the inside of a block looks like:

Oh, thanks guys! Somebody just managed to crash my server. Seems like a tricky bug. It'll be up again at some point when I get this fixed.

And thanks for trying it out and for the replies - I like it that you like it!

EDIT: Actually, I will just put it up again as is, as I can't figure out a quick fix.

Hey, this is a lot of fun, very much like minecraft! I spent some time (a couple of hours :P) playing with it, and thought I'd show you what I came up with!

The tower is as tall as is possible and it has an observation deck :P The coiling around the tower is the stairs!

Good work!

I guess you're experiencing some bugs in the game. It should be possible to build a 31000 blocks tall tower. Restarting the game probably helps (the map is saved on disk).
