Crafti - Minecraft clone
« on: September 30, 2016, 09:09:48 am »


Here's a minecraft clone, originally made by Vogtinator for the TI Nspire CX.
It was made as a challenge to see if the Ti nspire cx (a very limited platform with only an ARM 132Mhz cpu) could run a minecraft clone.
It made use of nGL : a very fast 3D library inspired by OpenGL 1.x.

Vogtinator made an initial SDL port but it was only made for testing and it didn't support controls.
I have implemented controls, especially in mind for the GCW0 and here they are :

B - Remove a block
A - Put a block/Confirm
X - Inventory Menu
Y - Jump
L - Inventory : move left
R - Inventory : move right

Start - Menu
Select - Quit
Joystick - Camera

Pressing X, you have every block available at your disposal :
TNT, Redstone, Water, Lava among other things...

TNT blocks can be destroyed using a redstone torch.
Water and Lava has no effect on you but they can fill the landscape.
Everything else is purely cosmetical.

You can download it here :

It doesn't run on my GCW Zero, I just get a black screen. What could be wrong?

If I mash SELECT, the game quits.

Interestingly enough, triple buffering does not work with crafti.

Although I'm not a fan of Minecraft, Crafti is a cool little game and an interesting engine. Thanks for porting it!

You're welcome zear.
I plan to add some sound effects to it and maybe some music as well but i need to find them
and with a free software.
If anyone could find them then i would be able to add them to the game.

Neat, but the rather stark limitations of gameplay remind me of the version of Minecraft for the Raspberry Pi. Be nice if it had a little more going for it. For example a day night cycle would relieve some of the boredom and give the torches a purpose besides looking odd (do they even produce light?). Also it'd be nice to be able to be able to craft some tools and actually use them to gather resources, of course a resource limited mode would be necessary. Minecraft's creative mode isn't terribly exciting. Some water would be nice too, although it doesn't need to be fancy.

Maybe there's more there that I'm missing out on based on the repo's filenames, but it wasn't real exciting beyond it being neat to have an explorable voxel world.

Actually, you did miss something because there was a bug in my code that prevented the inventory menu
from appearing...
The inventory menu has some cool things, like redstone for example.


I have made a terrible mistake... please, feel free to download the new fixed version again.

Other than that though, i agree : it is still lacking day/night cycle, monsters and weapons.
I still wish Vogtinator was still working on it but i don't think he feels motivated enough to work again on it.

The background music is a nice improvement. With the way all games have sound these days, it's very weird to play anything without a background track or some ambient sound. Thanks for fixing the inventory menu, at least there are a few block options to play with now.
