Haven't really gotten to do much development over the winter break, but I managed to get my inventory screen running. (haven't put it amount of blocks collected yet, though).



For the next month or so, development might be a bit slow due to both FRC build season and midterms :/

For fuel, I'll probably put in some station for coal liquefaction, as there will be no currency other than the ores you carry.

Might also make some randomly generating buildings underground too.
(and also make my ore generator not suck :P)

Anyone got any ideas for somewhat of a storyline, or a way that this game could end? Or perhaps I could actually just have no end and keep on generating maps until the whole screen is filled with diamonds and/or the user runs out of memory :P

Are you gonna replace the images of the miner with images of hulls etc? Other than that, nice :) it really looks good, also I love the images of the ores, they show exactly what it is, there's no confusion possible

Totally agree :)
This has progressed quite a lot already, for the story I'd say mix infinity with some kind of story? After you're done you can happily mine what you want. No clue about what the story should be though :P

Those colors were pretty arbitrary; I just made them different so it would be easier to read :P
If the game is infinite, maybe I'll add some absurdly powerful megaupgrades for people to attempt getting :P

Yeah, the terrain file has all the other texures (as shown on the previous page). I think I'll keep those for the stock parts, though.


Another question for you guys:
Should crafting be regular Minecraft style, or pocket edition (selecting from menu) style?

I think that normal Minecraft style might be a little cumbersome for items using 2 or more types of ore, but an option to choose would be great. (As would multiple savegames... but if it's an external, user-accessible save we can manage that on our own)

Yeah, I think I might just do the menu-based crafting.

I'll get to making the save games, but I have no idea how to read data from a file :P

Can't you do like Java and just dump everything in a file? In Java you can just write the object to a file (.ser) and retrieve it later by reading that file.

That is possible as well.

If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address).

I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.
