[Minecraft] [HP Prime] MinePrime - Minecraft on a Hp Prime!

[Unicorn]

Oooo Anyways, tomorrow'll be big With screenshots.

I have actually run into a road block even when I do WAIT(0.001) the game still freezes because it has to run through the loop many times to move a block so the simple method of making it wait 0.001 seconds per loop cycle is just way too long (I even tried my UTILPACK milisecind timer and it still froze). So  need to relearn my code and almost completely revamp the timing

Uh oh....

I should, the main question is whether I can make the PC version of the game because as of now you die instantly on PC

Uh oh again... It that because of the roadblock?

If you are trying to slow down the game to run at the same speed on all platforms, you need to use TICKS. It returns the current calculator time in milliseconds. Once you are done rendering the following frame, do TICKS again. Then you run a WAIT command, but you substract the value of the two TICKS from the total wait time. Or maybe something like that.

You can also make and update loop and render loop, where the render loop runs at max power, and the update loop runs at for example 1/30th of a sec
(This technique is used in pc games and such too :3)

It is fixed but the problem was that I had a delay of 900+LEVEL*25 (in other words I made my own WAIT() function) so even if I delayed it 1 millisecond per loop it would delay it much more so I just increased 900 to ~15000 :3

So do we have to wait 2 weeks for a screenshot?

[alexgt]

It has been very busy for me (tommorow I am leaving for my Uncles house again to straighten out some stuff and will be back sunday and then possibly taking a road trip with my friends ) I am very sorry for the delay but there is not much I can do about it

[Dream of Omnimaga]

You should convince your friends to do a road trip to Quebec if they don't mind french

Can't wait for your return but nice to see you again nonetheless

[Unicorn]

eh, ots fine. Have a great time on your roadtrip though!

[alexgt]

Thanks, So next week possibly today I will get some screenies out (How many times have I said that before )

As long as you aren't on a permanent road trip and out of school for 2 years or something

Good luck

New here and just reviewed the entire thread, it's really great to see how much progress has been made. It's very impressive.

Hey, and welcome to the forums do you have a Prime? also thanks

I don't have a Prime, just my trusty TI-84 Plus Silver Edition.

You should download the HP Prime emulator at ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime/ (it's free but it's Windows-only) since it would probably let you play this game (providing alexgt added speed limits or timers, otherwise the game will run much faster than on the real calc and become unplayable)
