mInicraft (work in progress)

Here are my efforts so far to implement a basic kind of minecraft clone. For now there’s basic map generation (small map). You ll have to “push” the map away at startup to see anything.

The p3d crashes for me. Here is the error log:

Just a heads up (I had this same problem with my game), this crash is likely due to you naming your Chunk module / class ‘Chunk’. Python has a Chunk.py in its libraries, and Panda3D prefers to load that one instead of yours. If you rename the module to something else (I named mine ‘ChunkOfBlocks.py’) the error will be fixed (I think).

ok, i’ll look into that, thanks for the feedback.

This is very cool. I’d really like to ready the code to understand how you are doing the procedural generation in Panda, but the zip file link in your post is no longer working. How about posting the code to a github project or something?

Thanks for posting this.

Here’s a new link :

thanks for the interest

Nice, it works. Thanks for uploading the new version. I’m new to Panda so reading through the source is helpful to understand a bit more about procedural generation.

Have a good reading then. Keep in mind that it’s unfinished and some things are there that are not used / implemented (player.py for example).

thats really cool.

thanks
