Just fixed beds in Minetest, now they're actually fun. They don't pop up a dialog freezing your action, preventing you from even telling people to get to bed, and they don't force skip the night. So you can chat and fiddle with stuff in bed waiting for other players to lie down or d/c. A second right-click skips the night if enough are asleep. A left-click gets out of bed. Why didn't they design it this way in the first place??

Now I just have to find people to play with... anyone here play Minetest?

@eniko While I know of some games that have managed pretty good visuals in small screens (eg.: Monster Hunter on the 3DS, 224p), 1.- those use a vastly different visual art and engine, highly reliant on zoom and 2.- 100px is still too small for that, IMO.

At that size limitation and if you might be facing redoing all the art for porting to consoles anyway, have you considered switching the art style to "symbolic" and using "symbolic tiles" rather than "graphic tiles"?

Kinda like games such as #ZZT did back in the times of the DOS, when you had to deal with 80×25 terminals (no graphics mode, even).

Symbolic visual art can also give a game a pretty fresh coat of paint depending on the genre, as can be seen in games such as #VVVVVV , and on a console port you could even add a "retro option" switch for the visual engine like how #MonsterBoy does, for extra fancy.

For extra bonus, on symbolic tiles you could even just use fonts for some symbols, since many of them have a 10pt option.

Well here I am with my very first playthrough of Minetest, because I certainly didn't just die and lose all my gear from trying to tank a full sized African elephant naked. And I would never put the bed that I slept at in my inventory, making me instead spawn at a random location thousands of blocks away. And it's only those fools back at the Institution who think I forgot to set a home location that I could teleport back to. So instead this is my first ever playthrough of Minetest gee what an interesting game. I think I'll go walk a few thousand blocks over that way, where my bones were placed.

...this is the pitts.

Last thread got derailed, so here's a new one. The sunflowers are looking beautiful in the morning light. Wait, is that...

Lost my thread, so here's a new one. I suddenly awakened from a terrible dream that I'd died out in the middle of nowhere and lost all my gear.

Shit, where's all my gear?

Another day in Coral Town. Time to see if the potats are yep they're ready. Potats are broken. Best source of food, if you have fuel to cook them. I think grapes are the best if you don't wanna cook.

In a vain attempt at engagement farming/content spamming, I'll take you on a tour of how my Minetest/Luanti server has been going.

Spawned in a lovely forest infested with... squirrel tail. 😠

I've been trying for years to grok fractal noise, and I swear the decoration code says "If it's 0.001 then only spawn 1 every 1000 nodes, and only cover the land if it gets to 10.0 and above," but the actual effect seems to be "If it ever gets above 0.001, spam it the fuck everywhere." One of these days I'll figure out how to make small patches of flowers appear scattered throughout the map. Until then, half the plant spawns are covered in squirrel tail.

Anyone want to play Minetest with me? I got a good set of modules working pretty well that I think are pretty fun. Could even do mumble, so we don't have to stop playing to type in the chat.

Officially reached longer into #TheSwitcher than in my previous playthough, alas it comes at great cost as there was some... “disagreement” with the local goddesses about how I don't think "children" is a *valid* ingredient for soup. They decided to curse the wife of the weapons provider I was trying to help, she died, he hanged himself out of grief, and that left me out of a #Gwent card I needed to get.

Damn it.

Alright, so I create a VoxelManip object and read an area from the map, around my position. Then I use a VoxelArea object on the "emergent" boundaries of the VoxelManip, just like several modules have already done, and work great.

Now to test it, I use the latter to index into the former, putting a "diamond block" in my exact position in a test world, then writing that to the map.

The result is it adds a diamond block, like... uh... over there, somewhere? And when I move positions, it starts adding dozens of diamond blocks randomly scattered all over a 50 block area around me. Never adding anything to the only position that I added something to. This is like 3 seconds of me slightly moving a few blocks over.
