Who wants to collab and make a MINECRAFT 2D game?

----------==========ABANDONED==========----------

I'm working on a big project. VERY BIG. As the title says, it's a MINECRAFT 2D game.
It will be complete with:

1. Construction/destruction
2. Actual scrolling (!!!)
3. Real MINECRAFT graphics
4. Possibly 1 sprite 1 script (although the script would be as long as LINE tenis, so probably not)

and it's really hard to make. I don't think I'll be able to complete it on my own. I need help!

Current developers:

awsomemaster

Current version:
(warning: EXTREMELY glitchy)

To contribute to the collab, download the latest addition here. (If there are no files, download it here.) Once you are done, upload your saved project to the drop, and post here to inform me.

To-do list:

1. Finish scrolling engine
2. Add character
3. Construction/deconstruction
4. Add sound effects (optional)
5. Fix remaining glitches

If you want to join, please post this below:

If so, have you purchased it?

The glass is never half full nor half empty; it is twice as large as it needs to be.

Okay, you can. But I updated the topic, so now you have to post this form filled out:

Re: Who wants to collab and make a MINECRAFT 2D game?

I am good at sprites and such. Also I think I'd be able to make the scripts for combining the objects. (If you want to see how good I am I'll post some minecraft sprites I was working on [I had the same idea as you])
I have no projects up atm, but I experiment around with scratch.
Yes, I do have an account and sometimes play the free version.
Sadly, no I have not purchased it yet, but I am going to soon, and I know what stuff you can combine to make other stuff.

Re: Who wants to collab and make a MINECRAFT 2D game?

First of all, I think instead of one big script,  it should be in seperate scripts. Example:

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
(Do stuff here)
<broadcast[ sc2


<when I receive[ sc2
(do stuff here)
<broadcast[ sc3

<when I receive[ sc3
And so on.[/blocks]
_________________________

Next, I see that you have put two exact blocks by each other. Instead of:

[blocks]<switch to costume[ (all that stuff)
<switch to costume[ (all that stuff)
<stamp>[/blocks]
It should be

[blocks]<switch to costume[ (all that stuff)
<stamp>[/blocks]
This will help decay the script, and will run much faster when looking at scripts.


__________________________________
After that, at the top, to decay another block, replace the top script with

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<repeat( 150
Add (air) to landscape
<end>
<repeat( 25
Add (grass) to landscape
<end>[/blocks]
__________________________________
If the scrollX slips under 0 for some silly reason, then add the script:

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<forever if>  <( 0 <>> <{ scrollX }> )>
<set{ scrollX }to( 0
<end>[/blocks]
Probably about the same with scrollY.
__________________________________
If it is a 1S1S, it will freeze computers, and no one will get to play it. This comes out as bad comments.
______________________________
If I receive more info, I will edit this post.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry, but you must not have much experience with Scratch broadcasts. Believe it or not, it actually takes time for a broadcasted event to be received (about 1/10th of a second). It is a very short time, so it's no wonder you didn't notice it, but that 1/10th of a second is enough to make a game really slow and choppy. This is also true for repeat and forever blocks; it takes about the same ammount of time to return to the top.

Due to a wierd glitch, unless you swith a costume twice, sprites can't go off-stage. This was an attempt to fix that, which failed for some reason.

Yes, I know. The outer [repeat (6)] block shows how many layers of air there is.

That won't happen.

So you don't try to scroll down the scripts area.

Made a small amount of sprites from scratch, which you can view on my projects.

Re: Who wants to collab and make a MINECRAFT 2D game?

I already have all the costumes I'll need for this.

Okay, not all of them. If someone could give me a 2D animation of the crack cycle (when you're breaking a block, the cracks that cover the faces), that would be great.

Re: Who wants to collab and make a MINECRAFT 2D game?

On it.
Edit: Had no idea how to send it to you, so just put it in a project for you to download. Erase the brown and resize the cracks. (You cant see animation in presentation)

Re: Who wants to collab and make a MINECRAFT 2D game?

(finally calmed down) I think this really is likely to get front-paged. Exept it can cause the great glitch, but is very not likely to happen. I think it is likely to get front paged.

Actually, just add a comment that says, there are 6 layers of air.

Probably about the same with scrollY.

If it's possible for either variable to go below 0, then it's called a glitch. The glitch will be fixed before the final version.

Single player building. BTW, that's called creative mode.

Re: Who wants to collab and make a MINECRAFT 2D game?

I'll help merge the scripts.
Instead of:

[blocks]<when[ space ]key pressed>
(whatever belongs here)[/blocks]
A way to merge that kind of thing, do something like the two scripts below:

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
   <if> <key[ space ]pressed?>
(do stuff here)
   <end>
(the rest here)
<end>


<when[ space ]key pressed>
<forever>
(scrolling and stamping, and other stuff here)[/blocks]

I know that. The game is still before beta, so the scripts are a little messy now.

Re: Who wants to collab and make a MINECRAFT 2D game?

i may be able to help.
as far as my best project? just look at my sig, it will link you to the forum about my game Scar.
i've been working on the 3d engine (witch is sort'a a upgrade of s65's 3d engine) and trying to get out the kinks and make the engine (witch i will most likely call "Bele 3D") into a usable SDK for scratch.

yes i play minecraft, and have bought it, (and i am VERY good with red stone :p)

but i do have a few questions:
1;is it going to be isomeric view?, or side scrolling?
2;is it going to be infinite map?, or pre-made map?
and will it be randomly generating?
