Hello everyone!
Here is a game I made for the HP Prime calculator. It is based on the popular game minecraft by mojang and even contains the real textures:

I am looking forward to any suggestions :)

Heya and welcome here. :) This looks very polished so far, that's for sure.
@alexgt was working on his own MC clone but he discontinued it D:. By the way, how do you store the map data? I notice that you are loading the map by small chunks (with some loading at the edges) so I was curious. Can we use the numpad to destroy blocks (eg 4 to destroy the block right to the left of the character and 1 for the block just above)
The HP Prime is an incredible machine in terms of programming. Even with the on-calc language the games can rival CE ASM/C/ICE speed O.O
The world is saved in a graphics buffer. Every block has a specific color and every pixel represents one block. With these colors the blocks are indentified when drawning a chunk.
I will try out the numpad controls. The Problem is that i will have to check all the keys for input in the games main loop every time :/
Ah I see. Thanks for the info. Would it be hard to make the game so that each chunk is bigger or would it cause memory problems/lag? And yeah checking all keys might cause some slowdowns, although given the speed of the HP PPL language, it probably won't be too bad I think.
You're pretty much giving us your fingerprints with that video, something you should avoid at all cost :ninja:
Also you used bedrock instead of stone in ur map... a block that is not destroyable in the original minecraft (you destroy it in ur demo)
other than that it looks really promising :)
Can Trees regrow and is there water as well? :)
It would be really cool if there were smooth (maybe even italic) borders between different biomes, not just a vertical cut ;)
By the way
@David T your video was deleted. Why? D:
Most likely it was scrubbed by mojang and taken down for copyright infringement?
yeah possible.
But isn't microsoft pulling the strings now? (whic his probably even worse)
Actually, now that you mention it, I recall reading before that the reason why
@Vogtinator used a different texture pack in Crafti was because Mojang was even worse than Nintendo when it came to copyright nazism, so if someone wanted to do a Minecraft clone he really had to make sure to not use the original graphics or music.
