Crafti, a 3D Minecraft clone for the TI-Nspire
« on: June 03, 2014, 12:27:05 am »
For a while, Vogtinator has been working on a new Ndless 3D engine for the TI-Nspire, but from it, spawned a brand new Minecraft clone: Crafti. In the past, Chockosta released nCraft, a 3D Minecraft clone for that calculator, but the use of floating points prevented him from using advanced and textured graphics. Over a year later, Vogtinator managed to push 3D even further, as you will see in this quote from him:

It's time for the newest, greatest, most stable and best release yet: v1.0!
Bad news first: No major no features, no redstone yet. But I'm working on it  ;)
I wanted this release to be stable and with all known bugs fixed, and redstone is the opposite...
I also focused on performance. Just try it out yourself, it's a big improvement!

But now the good news:
New features:
  • Support for non-cx cals! Due to the limited amout of RAM the worlds can't get very big
  • Font rendering! 
  • Help screen! 
  • Settings!

    Also reintroduced transparent leaves. You can change the walking speed now!
  • Some reworked graphics!
  • Fast mode! 

    The "face-combining" can be seen here, so 4 faces are drawn as two triangles now.
Bugs fixed:
  • Fluids not updating unnecessarily
  • Wrap around in block list
  • Use the touchpad/clickpad for navigation!
  • X and Z-Interpolation issues fixed!

    You can see close blocks now, have fun digging! ;D
  • Some refactoring..
That's about it. It took much longer than expected, but I tried to fix every bug I found  <_<
And a short note at the end: I changed the savefile version again, so if your world doesn't open, you'll have to open and save it with v0.9 first.

Remember that to use this game, you need Ndless. Do NOT upgrade to OS 3.9, else you will never be able to use any Ndless program again!

Amazing! Thanks for newsing about this, I haven't really been able to keep up with the many ndless projects coming up lately.
Seems the Nspire is finally getting some love :D Also with the new n2DLib, I might even be able to port continuity make some games for nspire.
I'm not a nerd but I pretend:

It looks like the John Smith Legacy resource pack to me...
My friend deleted it because it looked weird to him

I tried the game by the way and it's really impressive. It has come a long way from the previous version.

I wonder if it's possible to make one for the 83+ or the V200.
I thought it looked good.


P.S. has anyone searched up Notch on Ticalc? He apparently has a profile.

I'm not naive enough to believe that it's not a random guy calling himself Notch on ticalc.

Yeah it's very common for fans of a big name to use their name on forums or even people trying to pass themselves as that person to get attention.

The bio was sort of funny

If you make offical MC for the 83+, what would happen to the ones already on Ticalc?

Reading the person's bio is worth it (to me)




P.S. we are getting way off topic :P

Even if the official author didn't do a Minecraft clone for calcs I wouldn't be surprised if he sent C&D to all calc Minecraft authors one day since he seems to like those <_<


However it's not to make money or anything like that that people do Minecraft games for calcs. In the case of the Nspire clones it was mainly to show it can be done.

Well, anything can be done with a calc (within reason
