Same here, I have an animal crossing thread but and every time it gets bumped, I do a small update then leave it for a month. Don't feel bad.

1) Make a plight for people to help

2) Leave optimization, it runs fine with Nover. Start on something fun, like crafting or generating the world. Fun things are motivating because you like what you are making.

Just saying : Do you guys know that school work (at least in France) can be really time consumming ?
If Chockosta hasn't updated its game for months it's likeky because he has a lot of stuff at school.
Well it depends of people, since Hayleia seems quite active working on stuff. I think stuff like Chockosta or sometimes even people dropping out of calc stuff can have some influence too.
Erm, what ? I just read that sentence and don't very agree with the fact I am active working on stuff :P

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

This isn't the Holy Grail of Calculators. If you add more stuff, then it will run even more slowly. By the way, optimization is a good programming exercise.
Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
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). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

But to me it seems like any project as intensive as this would have to use Nover anyways.

You just lost the game.

It depends on what you want to add really.

You can think about and implement some optimisations but all-in-all you dont want to get stuck on optimising only.

No. Guys calm down.
Currently, I'm working on a Touhou-like shooter in lua, but I will finish it quite soon and I'll most likely go back to nCraft.

Bump ...

Yeah, I read what Augs "just" posted (in term of space, not time), but still. Is this dead or not ?

Maybe not only this is dead, but Chockosta might have actually ditched calc programming entirely as well, since he hasn't been around much lately. I think a 3D minecraft might be too much for the Nspire anyway, because of the individual 3D blocks. A 3D game with standard, non-modifiable landscapes would probably work.

EDIT: Nvm he's into danmaku now, which is why he doesn't code.

I hope he'll get around to optimizing(code and speed), so it will be easier to port to Prizm. I tried porting to Prizm, but it seems that the mallocs are way too big for it. :( Maybe if he does optimize it, it will be easier(I've tried to make the arrays smaller, but there has been no results). I did try instead of mallocing just "world[CUBE_WORLD_X*CUBE_WORLD_Y*CUBE_WORLD_Z]" to see if that would work and it kinda did, but then it gave me a segfault at the part of the code that draws the cubes/triangles/individual-horizontal-lines. I don't know what the problem is(I did port the pre-alpha version of nCraft successfully but with some crashes).

Hmm a PRIZM version might be kinda slow lol. Just on the Nspire in some areas of the map, I get like 8-10 FPS at 242 MHz. If the game runs that slow on a 242 MHz overclocked TI-Nspire CX, imagine how slow it will be on a 94.3 MHz Casio PRIZM. It wouldn't hurt to try, though.
