Hi!(Sorry if i made some grammar mistakes.I hope you understand it)
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)
-1 more optional texture pack(by: MrJolteon)

Basic Controls:
Up Arrow-Jump and Climb ladders
Left/Right Arrow-Moving
Mouse- Destroy and place blocks
A - Show the selected block(that one you can place)
W and S- Select block
E and D -to change between the items
Crafting:
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
Explanation:
-Theese blocks works with a Timer because the Draw Actor made the whole game laggy. The basic Timer is set on 5000ms

Some feature:
-Survival mode including:
-Mining(to get blocks from destroying other blocks)
-Finite number of blocks
-Crafting
-Inventory
-Saving System
-"Fog of war"
-This game contains 26 blocks(including the air and two doors(opened and closed)
Plans:
-Better animations(If someone can make moving animations of the player I would be grateful)
-A function to import weapons/items from files

Hey not bad. Although, it would be a lot better with better graphics and fewer physics bugs

[tzoli]

Thanks for your opinion. I will try to improve it.
By the way... A new screenshot:

Important:
I forgot to write down the saving/loading functions:
To save: First press 1 and 2(in order) then type save(in order)
To load: First type load(in order) then press 3 and 4(in order)

[MrJolteon]

Interesting. Will try.

-Sometimes if a sandblock falls down it creates a water block above itself(I don't know why)

It was like that back in Minecraft Classic too

[MrJolteon]

I tried it, and saw there's a lot you should improve.
For example the terrain generation, at the moment, it's way too Minecraft4k-ish.
You should also raise the max mine/build distance to, say, 4 blocks horizontally and 3 blocks vertically away from the player (Like in Terraria)?
A background, sounds and some music would be nice too.

[tzoli]

I have no idea how to make the generator make mines.
By the way.. I made:
-2 Player gamemode(for survival)
-Sound effects
-Bed blocks(to restore energy)
-Trap blocks(Disappears when someone i touch it and reappear after 5 secs)
Currently working on:
-Better AI(Avoid holes,Climb Ladders,Jump)
-Background Music
-Map Generator

[MrJolteon]

I have no idea how to make the generator make mines.

That's not what I said lol
I said you could improve the terrain generation and set a higher build/mine distance (As in the number of blocks away from the player you can break/place blocks)

[tzoli]

Sorry for the misunderstanding.I'm thinking how to make a good terrain visibility making system but I don't know how to make it.

[Pengaboy]

hmm... i think you are not just good a graphics, but keep going and remember than more you drawing then better gfx you can make
------------------------------------------------
ps:you car order some gfx me because i just love make them

For free?
BTW:Currently I'm making a smoother graphic pack.It's still nothing that we call "good graphics" but its more acceptable.
