CJacobs posted:What's funny is that your point is completely null because Bethesda's developing studio is not in charge of the law-based portion of their company, and therefore the Bethesda everyone knows and loves has no part in this and they in fact find the lawsuit pointless, but they can't do much to stop it now that Mojang has made it known, paraded it around, joked about it like it was no big deal, and then agreed to take it to court! It's really funny how nobody seems to know this (read: annoying)! And as well, Bethesda's law office has no case because "Scrolls" is not "The Elder Scrolls" and as long as Mojang acknowledges that TES is a thing that exists and they respect the right to not steal any of their poo poo, Mojang will likely come out of this lawsuit with an undeserving sense of pride! So, what you are saying is that it isn't the programmers suing, it is the lawyers? Wow, great insight.

strategery posted:Are there plans of bringing the phone versions of minecraft close to the game proper or no? If minecraft portable was getting the adventure mode, I might change my choice in (upgrade) for my new phone. Minecraft is written in java, android dev is pretty much java, so easy to port some of the code used in the desktop version. iOS on the other hand... objective c. Thats my guess. They prolly get around making a version for iOS too tho.

Otherwise, well, it's like making a program that displays slightly interactive slideshows of google maps and calling it your game. He is going to write a gpu in redstone, he is executing code on his current machine that you would probably not be able to write using a high-level language, it looks like raycasting with edge detection or something like that. I even meet people who work as gameprogrammers using the gpu that can't write some good old software rendering of graphics in 3D (or fake 3d as raycasting is). With your arguments nothing done today can be "amazing" it's "just" something blah blah, way to go beeing boring party-poopers. Atleast the guy did something. Besides, computers are just a simple set of instructions, have a look on the RISC instructionset, very small. So, computers, heh, not really impressive *smugface*.

I've written a couple of pseudo-3d engines (raycasters, both the wolfenstein type that is only using 2d and doom-style that also only uses 2d but with height variation) in software and also a couple of software engines in 3d and now adays I spend some of my spare time writing raytracing/casting abstract poo poo in pixelshaders.. thats not my point, the point is that is is quite impressive doing it with redstone. I didn't say raycasting was highlevel, I said most programmers that have opinions can't even write one in a high-level language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_programming_language) where you can focus on the problem w/o having to care about speed, memory allocation and what not. Buuuuuuuuuuut this is an rear end in a top hat conversation, so I'm gonna drop it here and just say that I like what he did (just as I love watching what people do with c64s these days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=yFdjWSaDlIo ).

IUG posted:Says the guy who can't use capital letters or commas. So you are also stupid? A screenshot is most often a file stored on a disc. A series of 1 and 0:s representing an image, a "shot" from the screen. A game generates the image in realtime, it does not have images for every possible image it can show on disc. Also most screens nowadays are at 60hz so you usually get 60 fps if you have a good enough gpu, if you use vsync and do not have you might end up with 30 fps, if you do not use vsync you can get any fps but often with screentearing.

CrazyTolradi posted:Actually, I'm surprised Minecraft works the way it does now considering it was done in Java. Credit to Notch where it's due, he took a very resource hungry platform and made an outstanding game with it. I can run a mod that does extend the view distance quite a large amount, however it doesn't work with pre5 and I guess they're just waiting for release. Hi, java was a bad platform back in the days, today it is very optimized and in some occurances performs just as well as c++ compiled code dude to both clever usage of the JIT compiler and also: did you know that minecraft uses JNI libraries for many things? See the dll files they include in the "bin/natives" folder, this means that many of the things are actually just JNI wrapped calls. Hope this helps. Also, get a SSD disc too since chunks are stored on disc and that is also a performance issue, to stream from a slow disc. But yes, better multicore support would be sweet-rear end.

Not even Notch adding mods, he always removes fun parts of them, like making pistons push less blocks/not launch you, and making sticky pistons require slime and not allowing them to pull multiple blocks. Also adjustable extension length. Funny thing is that I think Notch from the start said that "piston-like blocks would never be possible to add"?

Macaluso posted:So the latest 3 yogscast videos. Stuff seemed to happen that I didn't think was possible in the game, but I'm fairly sure they weren't playing with any mods. Any idea how the map maker did some of the stuff they did? Specifically, they got a potion effect (slowness) forced on them at one point even though they didn't actually take a potion themselves, as well as several things they did like using a cauldron or playing a record seemed to activate redstone. How in the world! If those are things you can actually do in vanilla I need to know how for adventure map making! Piston "bug" activating a nearby block will trigger its state.

Vib Rib posted:The thing is that there isn't one single class for terrain generation. There are several base classes that involve loading, saving, and generating (usually crossed over, clusmily) and the basic generation itself pulls from over a dozen other classes, and usually only under specific prompts. Why must the older class files be saved with the saved world? If I did it I'd have several classes (with a common interface) loaded thru reflection, each having a function returning for what version they will generate terrain and then when loading a map it checks what version it is from, it then looks up what class is responsible for that version and voila. As long as the entry class that is responsible for the terrain generation is responsible for whatever result is done (be it using old classes for some things and other new, unique for that specific version) it will be compatible with the old version AS LONG AS you do not modify these "shared" classes. IF you need to modify how one of these classes behave you would have to create a copy of it and then modify that new class.. I'd prolly also place these modified ones in packages clearly denoting for what version they belong (like, lets say I update a class that has to do with generating a biome called Desert and want it to be different in version x.y I'd place it in com.whatever.mycodebase.generation.version.x_y.DesertBiomeGenerator) or something. Bleh.. whatever.

Well, the amount of block types etc beeing a multiple of 2 isn't very strange, you need to store the id in something, there are many cubes in the datafile, going from a byte to a integer will increase the size by 4 and you'll need to write or read 4 times as many bytes sooo that isn't very strange. (1 byte = 8bits = numbers it hold 0 - 255). He could have done a few tricks tho like if byte is set to 255 then the following byte is also part of the block id etc. The stacking thing I don't really understand since he can't cram the item id into 2 bits since there are more than 4 different items so I guess thats just "quirky indie charm".

To be honest tho, it is much easier to implement stuff like frustum culling on voxels since there is a very well defined bounding box ;I So thats that atleast, instead of portals you get a very nice model to place QuadTree + frustum culling over so you can decide pretty quickly what chunks to render and not. Then there is the whole optimize the chunks part too.. "oh you are within my view, ok, well, can I see you or is there something in the way? And how many cpu cycles can I spend pre-calcing this without it taking 1 hour to load the map?". My lil playground that I've basically done today have a quadtree + frustum culling implementation that is fairly nice already. 64*64*64 grid gradually split down to 4*4*4 chunks with raw block data. The plan is to mark chunks as invisible, if all children of a quad tree node is invisible then that node is invisible too, that will sort out alot of useless tests and rendering. Each chunk should also set up VBOs for fast rendering in a "smart way"(tm) and only rebuild VBOs when they are updated (alien creepers (tm)).

a starwar betamax posted:Looks good. When do you plan on adding the hunger meter? No hunger-meter, its to mainstream. I'm gonna add some quirky indiecharm to it. There will be an annoyance-meter. Whenever a stone-like block breaks there will be a chance that you will be hit by pepples that will increase annoyance with 1. Annoyance will affect the speed of breaking blocks in a bad way. The only way to remove annoyance is to craft choclate-chip cookies. Ofc the cocoa beans won't be added until later on and then only as random loot from dungeon chests.
