Well OK. I was also curious about mobs.

A. Will they ever exist?
B. I think they should be 2d like doom mobs.
C. Sorry for asking so many questions, I am just really interested in this project.
 
A. Yes, I hope so.
B. They will probably be 2D sprites indeed
C. Don't worry, it keeps me motivated :)

Oh right, I forgot that in Doom you can't look up/down x.x

Question: When you display cubes, do you draw each side even when they're hidden?

By the way I tried the new version and somehow it looks even better. Probably due to fixing the sorting bug. :D

No, I dont :)
I don't draw cubes behind the player
I draw only 3 faces per cube
I don't draw cubes that does not "touch" air

(omg, the latest version was downloaded 258 times *.*)

Also, I thought about something. Would it be possible to increase the viewing range in some way by drawing near cubes using 3d (what you are currently doing) and drawing the remaining cubes (the ones that are far) with ugly rectangles or so ?
This way, you don't use 3d for every cube (so speed is saved) and we still somehow see a bit further ? :)

I just downloaded this yesterday and it is AWESOME! Is there anyway you could add a save function so people can continue where they last left off?

A few suggestions:

-A red block
-Make diamond rarer
-trees

And any prediction on saving?

Actually that would be a good idea to draw farther stuff as 2D rectangles (just scaled down). It's not like anything that small would have this much of an impact on graphics quality anyway.

As I said to Hayleia on TI-Planet, the main speed loss isn't caused by cube drawing.
Off course rectangles would be faster, but I'm not sure that it worth the quality loss.

New version !
You now can save your progress :)

I also added a main menu. It has 3 items :
- New world (creates a new world. Beware : if there is already one world, it will be replaced !)
- Load world (Loads the saved world)
- Settings (Does nothing for now)

The world is saved each time you quit the game. The save file is quite heavy (800 KB) but its size could be reduced by more than half with a good compression.
(Thanks to Levak for his help !)
Do not rename or move the save file : it has to be in the same folder as the executable, and it has to be called nCraft.save.tns.
(You can use several save files by renaming them, by the way)

Spoiler For controls:
- Arrows : turn the camera
- 8 : go forward
- 5 or 2 : go backward
- 4 and 6 : strafe
- tab : remove a block
- ctrl : add a block
- + and - : choose the selected block
- F : render the full world

Awesome work. But I can select anything on the menu.

Edit: I found out I had to press enter. I feel like an idiot.

Hehe, this is why I didn't disconnect. When I saw Levak answered you, I thought "the update is for tonight" :P
Awesome work as always, downloading right now (yay ! I can finally build my house without fearing to lose it :w00t:)

So then the main speed loss is coming from sorting them?
