new (bi)weekly block game thread cause doors are done! ๐Ÿ‘

not only are doors 2 blocks tall now, there's a generic system to create up to 16x16x16 multi-block structures just by specifying the positions and blocks in json

anyway, doors make a huge difference to the game's feel. with doors and tables and such these shacks are starting to feel like real houses

edit: correction, structures can be 32x32x32 because each axis is -16 to +15

and you can learn more about block game by visiting the website at enikofox.com/blockgame


the problem with multi-block structures is every block in the structure needs to know the structure it's a part of. i can store that, but not as a simple block

so all blocks in a multi-block structure would be complex blocks. seems wasteful but i think it's just what i gotta do ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

the json required to define multi-block structures is super simple btw. you just specify the x,y,z coords and the block type for each block. here's the json for a door:

"Structure": {
"0,0,0": "CrudeDoorX",
"0,1,0": "CrudeDoorUpperX"
}

i think this could be real nice for modders in the future ๐Ÿค”

Old one is way more readable, but it is NOT a block of stone. It is a wall made by cementing smaller stones together.
The new one feels a bit too noisy to me. Maybe reduce the contrast between the dark and the lighter pixels?
in reply to Eniko Fox

hmm i think i like this one better than the old one?

figuring out how to implement fence gates in block game has taken a lot more brain power than you'd think it would given i already have doors implemented

in reply to Eniko Fox

added fence gates to block game. they really tie the front yard together, but they also manage to pull double duty as basic windows which is nice

it's never too early to add quality of life features, so today i added a hold open/closed feature to doors in block game

if you press and hold the alt button (F by default) on a door it will toggle its state until you release the button or get too far away

very convenient for auto closing doors behind you! no pressure plates required

and if the door is already open holding F will keep it closed until you let go of the button
