I was searching for a free sandbox game which runs well with an old computer too. Un-/Fortunately i didn't find one so I decided to make one. It's a very basic game with low graphics(because I can't draw good ones and didn't want to use the Minecraft ones). Basically it's a 2D minecraft but I want to make a lot different functions too.
---> Version:1.4 Pre-Release 2(New link)
1.4 Prerelease 1-Changelog:
-4 New block(For Decoration):Cobblestone,Stone Bricks,Torch,Sapphire Torch.(All of them is craftable)
-1 New weapon:Spear(Craftable)(Throwing with Right Shift).
-Monsters no longer attack you in creative.
-New Item and Block id system(Better code optimization => It's easier to put new items to the game).
-Better World Generation:
:Grass on the highest level of dirt(if it's above of the 10th Level)
:More liquids are generating if the Generate Liquids is on.
Pre-Release 2:
-More optimized code(Thanks to ideas from skydereign)
-Multiworld(Infinite world to left and right)
-Some kind of light system(May crash the game in the top left corner)
-Trees are generating in worlds. (I had some weird bugs with this one, but it's good now)

Up Arrow-Jump and Climb ladders

When you touch the crafting table a new "block" appears:
Mouse Enter(Event)-Writes the resources that you need
Left click-Change Block
Right click-Craft the block/item
You start with a crafting table.
Known Bugs:
-Sometimes if a sandblock falls down it creates a water block above itself(I don't know why)
-If you leave a world take a few steps away from the sides and only then reenter otherwise your map can be lost(Overwritten)
-The game may crash if you put a torch that "lights up" the -1 or lower block.(Block cloneindex grows to right and down 0-25, 26-51 etc.)(This will be fixed in the next prerelease)
-Liquid and sand dinamics may not work perfect in other worlds than the first
-The worlds trees will spawn in the next world too.
Not Bugs:
-The water,the lava and the sand don't fall immediatly

-Mining(to get blocks from destroying other blocks)
-Finite number of blocks
-Crafting
-Inventory
-Saving System
