PrepperCraft! - A free voxel game.

General Discussions
#1


I am making a new game called PrepperCraft! It is a voxel game like minecraft, but it has guns, zombies, deserted islands, weather, more animals, more blocks, items, and there is technology! I have got the Login.java partially done. I need to figure out how to make a database for users. I also made a testing class, and I’ll create the actual MainGame.java class when I’m done. Can someone tell me how to make a user database?

Lol for got to say I will probably be uploading the new code weekly. Probably every Monday. Tell me what you want me to add to the game, and I’ll try to make it happen!

#3

I would advise making some kind of playable demo at the very least before you either post in the WIP board or work on any kind of multiplayer features, like player databases.

#4

Not really a game, more of a JFrame than anything else.

#5

That’s why it’s in WIP. It’s not workable yet. I’ll try to get the game finished ASAP.

#6

It’s not WIP but WISTBD, sorry to say that…

#7

WIP are required to have a screenshot, and I’m not sure people want to see just a black screen :point:

#8

As everyone else has said, this isn’t even a game yet. This is just a blank screen. WIP project should have some functionality, your has none. I’m working on a game, too, but because it doesn’t have anything “game-y” yet, I didn’t post it.

And I recommend, no, I command you to use a library like LWJGL, JOGL, or something else that makes use of OpenGL. How the heck are you going to get 3D with Java2D? Okay, it’s possible, I’ve done it once with my buddies for fun, but seriously, unless there’s not a better choice, software renderer is so useless. Software renderer uses only CPU, which is, in most cases, dumb. It’s only good for applets.

(Also, why does everyone suddenly make voxel-based games and game engines? Why didn’t everyone start making platformers when Limbo came out? Huh…)

#9

What is the anagram for that?

#10

I’m guessing “Work In Still To Be Decided”.

#11

Sorry, but this isn’t a game, just a few lines of code. I’ll move it back to WIP if you make an actual game.

#12

No one’s listening! Why can’t it be WIP? It’s a work in progress! If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be working on it! I keep on getting these stupid replies and I get criticized for my own freaking work! It is a game, just a WIP game. Maybe I should make my own website and post it there since nobody wants to post positive freaking comments. Screw you all! I’m leaving this site. Bye asswholes! Have a nice time in hell!

#13

That deserves a ban :point:

#14

I think you’re missing the point… Your “game” is a couple lines of code… If this was the minimum requirement for WIP, then the forum would be littered with abandoned projects that had no gameplay (waaayyy more than it already is)

Have fun with your own website… I’m sure you’ll get much more traffic there.

Edit: I guess I’ll post my game here too.


class AwesomeGame {
     public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Thanks for playing!"); }
}

Well that escalated quickly

Sorry, I prefer ArdorCraft. How dare you post about 80 lines of code and claim that’s a “game”? It’s just a JFrame with an empty panel.

#17

Did anyone else sit there for a minute waiting for the image to load?

#18

This thread keeps getting worse… :emo:

And here I am contributing to it all. ::slight_smile:

To the monster with thee

Please don’t start with databases. Those are made when you have a huge amount of users, and you need to store huge amounts of data, which needs to be nicely grouped. If you are just starting to make your first game, RAM will be plenty.
