[outdated, will be updated for the slick2d branch]

Additions

World

• [ ] Finish generator; possibly switch to Perlin noise

• [ ] Finish implementing Biomes; possibly add some environmental effects

  • [x] Plains
  • [x] Desert
  • [x] Ocean
  • [ ] Taiga
  • [ ] Forest

  (more to come!)

• [ ] Finish Chunk system - dynamically load and render chunks (you must walk to load chunks)
• [ ] Better water physics
• [ ] Finalize level-saving protocol
• [ ] Add block physics

  Entity

• [ ] Add the entitiy tileset into the AssetManager HashMap
• [ ] Fix a load of bugs
• [ ] Add multi-entity support

  Rendering

  Engine

• [ ] Add particle system
• [ ] Add (proper) walking animation
• [x] OPTIMIZE
• [x] OPTIMIZE
• [ ] OPTIMIZE
• [ ] Finish adding partial variable timing (it gives higher frame rates and fixed tick rates)
• [ ] Finish 60 ticks/second engine
• [ ] Adapt everything to variable timing engine
• [ ] Finish new rendering engine using "Renderer" class

  GUIs

• [ ] Make a better system (current one is complete rubbish)
• [ ] Fix the Inventory implementation
• [ ] Begin support for block interfaces

  Other

• [ ] Add a multi-language system
• [ ] Add a audio system
  • [ ] Stepping sounds, breaking sounds, etc.
  • [ ] I'll compose some ambient music (similar to Minecraft)
• [x] Make a proper website (Screenshots, pre-compiled binary downloads)
• [ ] Make a multiplayer protocol (Minecraft compatible :trollface:?)

  Bug squashes

• [ ] Collision detection is broken again :(
• [x] Fix stuttering when the player reaches a low X value (must rewrite coordinate system, namely sX and sY in Component.class) - MIGHT BE FIXED
• [ ] You can hold items outside your inventory
• [ ] Fix sun/moon stutters at dusk->night and dawn->day transitions

Also, in the rewrite, there will be a new way to add textures into the game; In the res folder there will be a file named assets.dat with a list of textures the game needs to run, which are parsed on boot.

An example file:

#The format for adding new textures is:
#alias {image, x1, y1, width, height}
#or just
#alias {image}
dirt {tileset_terrain.png, 0, 0, 20, 20}
stone {tileset_terrain.png, 20, 0, 20, 20}
sky_moon {moon.png}

I fixed Sun and moon stutters and made their motion more realistic

[wordandahalf]

Fixed a stupid math mistake and now all is good!

Working on collision and a new physics engine :)

(I'm also cleaning up this thread)

I would like to inform you guys that this is certainly not dead After rewriting most of the systems, the performance was quite abysmal, even after I optimized it as much as I could. As a result, I am rewriting it in C++ with SDL2. It will be pushed to a new repository within the month.

I've been a bit bored lately and have just been toying around with the latest commited version, and I fixed collision detection and began to add world generation (ore, stone, bedrock, etc.)

[redusk]

I've added a rudimentary lighting system

[wordandahalf]

Nice!
