ArdorCraft

[MrCoder]

Since there has been a bit of talk about minecraft even on this forum, I decided to have a go at the basic tech myself. After a couple of days spare time work I now have an iteration 1 ready.
It is possibly buggy or slow (only tested on my two laptops). Just report to me and I'll fix things for iteration 2.

EDIT:

This is now the page to access the "game": http://ardorlabs.se/ArdorCraft

It has links to the current released version as well as the current development build where I'm testing out new features.

A lovely place for a little medieval church! Ok, my artistic skills are fairly limited...

Thats quite awesome, how about a spherical planet version?

Must say very impressive, works really well even on my low end work machine which is surprising since I didn't expect such a specific problem to be handled so well by a general purpose engine. Can't wait to try on my home PC.

P.S. If your gonna clone minecraft you missed one of its main features, ability to run in the browser

Rikard, do you consider to open source it ?
I am looking for a new hobby project !

Thanks all! Yeah I plan to take in more coders from this community at least, if anyone is interested.

Maybe a bit early to post on reddit. I would wait until I had something jaw dropping

Cool, works really well here.

You should also upgrade to latest lwjgl version and appletloader as there has been some bug fixes.

Also there is a black screen when the LWJGL Display is initialised after the appletloader completes and when the LWJGL Applet starts. Easy to fix if you use
LWJGL's method

Code: Select all

Display.setInitialBackground(1f, 1f, 1f);

This will set it to Displays initial color to white so it match the AppletLoader background color for a more seamless switch.
