Minecraft 4k (very early build)

Contests 4K Game Competition - 2010
#1

Here’s my “technical” entry for this year.
Or rather, how much I’ve got of it so far.

I don’t have Pack200 support on my server yet (why is it even needed? can’t the jvm handle that?), so it’s a bit bigger than it needs to be:

Only you wouldn’t need any Pack200… like Chuck Norris doesn’t need guns ;D

Pretty amazing :slight_smile:

#3

I have no idea how to turn this into a game. :smiley:

#4

Looking amazing already tho :slight_smile:

#5

Reduce the boxes by maybe 20%, and make it a vertical fall game, whereas you need to find the route down before… something kills you.

#6

whaaat the fuu… How does he do this???

Cas :slight_smile:

#7

A maze type game could work, yes. =)

For the implementation, it’s a 3d raycaster with one ray per pixel, at a very reduced resolution. I use unit cubes, so I can abuse float->int casts for the clipping.
There are some nifty side effects from doing a raycaster, such as fisheye lenses being possible at no penalty to framerate. :smiley:

I will try to squeeze in nicer textures, a nicer level generator, and tile adding/removing just to make it live up to the name.

#8

Any way to change this amazing thing into a 4k version of “Portal” or “Mirror’s Edge” ?

#9

I experimented with something like this:

Dear Markus,

You literally sicken me. About 1% is the lack of reverse mouselook (what’s up with that dude? Real men reverse. For real.), and 99% is the agonising, searing jealousy that is the inevitable conclusion of looking at something you’ve done and being confronted with your manifest talent. I have no words.

Sincerely

Are you trying to win by disheartening us all into not bothering to enter?! :o

#13

Yep. :smiley:

#14

All in favor of Markus for the judging panel for next year.

I.

#15

The early tech demo worked well on this aging powerbook g4. The later screenshots look great. I’m looking forward to this.

#16

Uh…!!! The fact this is LESS THAN 2K and smooth first person movement in a 3D world is… staggering.

(bows at greatness)

Great work already (again) Markus!

#17

Yeah, then as a side effect he can’t enter. :stuck_out_tongue:

#18

Amazing stuff there.

#19

I can’t find the correct smiley to respond to that.
An amalgamation of these 3 would do it: Slapping forehead; head in hands; shaking head in disbelief.

This reminds me of the Reckless Disregard for Gravity game:
