axus / libmc--c Goto Github PK

Requirements:

• Light sources affect lighting
• Time of day affects lighting

Support temporary particles created by actions, such as:

• Stone bits
• Leaf bits
• Wood bits
• Bubbles

Warning with latest copy.

src/UserInterface.cpp:224: warning: format ‘%3d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘size_t’

Just need to typecast viewer.glListMap.size() to int

Drawing speed would increase if glNewList, glEndList, and glCallList were used.

Some people would say to skip that and use modern things like VBOs. But I'll save that for a future issue.

Requirements:

• "Draw" chunks inside glNewList, and use glCallList for each chunk.

limc--c is planned to be a stand-alone interface which does not contain network code. However, the "World" class should have an interface that allows it to be updated by networking code.

The current version only allows creation of new chunks, without an easy way to update them.

Requirement:

• libmc--c usable for a working Minecraft Alpha client that can connect to servers.

Drawing cubes and planted items is working great.

These should also be drawn correctly, using meta-data:

• Loose items
• Ladder
• Door
• Torches
• Snow cover
• Cactus
• Fire
• Mine-cart tracks
• Crops
• Pressure Plate
• Red-stone wire
• Lever
• Button

Requirements:

• Store player inventory
• Inventory management screen
• Crafting screen
• Assignable callbacks for crafting, inventory change, dropping items, etc.

What can you do, right? But Minecraft is faster, so must fix it ;p

Options to decrease the draw distance AND use chunk invisibility flags are needed.

A real unexplained bug! Sometimes block faces will simply not be drawn, leaving holes in the terrain. Usually +X or -X, sometimes +Z/-Z. It might be a case of checking the wrong neighbor index?

Using GLUT and autoconf will allow building on weird operating systems for crazy people like kev009

Create mc--c.cfg if needed with default graphics configuration options. Allow user to change it.
(Username/Password/Server list will be separate)

libmc--c should allow callbacks to be assigned for all player interactions with the world

Requirements:

• Chatting
• Turning body and moving head
• Walking
• Placing held item on target block face
• Using held item on target block face / entity
• Using target entity
• Crafting attempts

Need Frames Per Second Display.

I have one if you want the patch.

The test program is fast when drawing a few map chunks, but eating half a core of my fast CPU and uses about 250MB for 11x11 map chunks.

Map chunks are 16x128x16 blocks. I'd thought that not drawing hidden block faces would speed things up, but the drawing is still slow. For a flat mapchunk, it's 256 textured quads, so for 121 map chunks its 30976. That should be OK, but it's not.

I'm going to think of a way to combine adjacent quads that have the same texture.

Typical client information displays need to be added:

• Inventory bar
• Health
• Armor
• Compass

Optional:

• Minimap

libmc--c has only been tested with MinGW on Windows XP, Vista, and 7. As it's compiled with GCC 4.5.0, it should build on Linux and BSD in theory. The Makefiles are MinGW specific, though.

Requirements

• Working Makefile for MinGW
• Working MSVC++ 2008 Project file
• Working Makefile for Linux

Currently, movement is along X/Z axes, and rotation is about the world origin Y axis.

Requirement:

• Standard WASD/mouse input to move camera in the test program

Right now, the camera can fly around anywhere, through walls, etc.

Requirement:

• Add option to enforce collision detection on client.

Keep a record of servers that have been connected to (and their custom username/passwords). Allow selection of server from main menu. (This requires a main menu).

Every block ignores metadata now. Drawing function should consider the metadata.

Need to draw mobile game entities:

• Players
• Pigs
• Cows
• Chickens
• Zombies
• Skeletons
• Spiders
• Creepers
• Hell creatures
