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)

You can use it on calc (the movement is really fast tho but block breaking and placing is the same)

I forget have I uploaded the version that you can break/ place blocks???

I haven't seen any version allowing us to place blocks yet

u/alexgt August 25, 2015, 01:01:12 AM

Ok, I will make sure there are no big bugs and release that version

u/Unicorn August 25, 2015, 04:31:38 AM

Well, thats what these releases are for! bugs! Will it work for the emu?

u/alexgt August 26, 2015, 01:38:06 PM

Well testing and unknown bugs...

u/Unicorn August 28, 2015, 06:44:55 AM

Exactly. So when can we expect a/an alpha/beta to play?

u/Dream of Omnimaga August 30, 2015, 05:08:04 PM

That reminds me, in reference to CW, maybe you could add an

mob or something but make it inoffensive and indestructible (or at least make it so it flies away once you hit it).

No promises as they have all fell through

but when I have time and start school (I will spend more time on the computer and then upload and program more frequently) but as it stands I need to take one bug out and then I am left with a perfectly playable early alpha realease

Ans if somehow you kill it it haunts your world forever, but if you tame it it poops diamonds into nearby chests

u/Unicorn September 02, 2015, 06:41:05 AM

Ok, and I actually do more coding to, as I have less time for gaming

Maybe it poops random things on the geound?

Why I don't think that it could poop things on the ground would be that I don't actually intend to implement items outside of the inventory (you can't drop stuff and when you mine blocks it is placed in your inventory)

u/Unicorn September 02, 2015, 04:25:20 PM

yeah... I guess that would be hard to implement

u/alexgt September 02, 2015, 09:53:15 PM

Yeah if I did do it they would probably count as mobs and it would get laggy fast _<_<

u/Dream of Omnimaga September 04, 2015, 03:40:31 PM

Yeah dropped items and being able to pick stuff up on the group might be too slow. Imagine if you used TNT and 40 items got dropped.

User inflicted error - not my problem

u/Dream of Omnimaga September 05, 2015, 04:28:33 AM

True, but there are probably other more common instances where many items get dropped and managing all of those mobs or sprites would still put strain on the game engine.
