★ Welcome to Terraria (Stamped) This is in early development and it's not anywhere near complete yet – so just have a wander around and appreciate this as a tech demo until more is added! ★ Instructions: [WASD] to move [Click] to dig or place items (based on tool) [0,1,2,3,4,5] Select Tool (multi press on 0 & 5) [Q] quick place a torch [R] to reset your location ★ Features A single screen comprises of 3 layers (foreground, background and sky layer) with each layer being made up of 2,700 tiles! Tiles are edge solved to best match them to their surrounding tiles, and then a light flow algorithm works out their level of illumination. The level is generated by beginning with a complete dirt world, then carving out stone areas, and then cave areas. The sky is then cut out and grass seeded across the dirt on the surface. Next the grass is ‘grown’ across and around the edges of any near by dirt blocks and shrub tiles planted on it’s surface. The sky is then fully illuminated before the world is presented to the player. The entire world is drawn using sprite costume stamping (via the pen extension). We can’t use clones because I would need 5,400 clones just to draw the level, but scratch only allows 300, as such scrolling is impossible. I hope to introduce screen paging in the near future to move from screen to screen. ★ Next Up • Biggest issue now is how to make the background walls work nice - In Terraria they take up half a tile extra on every side... but I can't do that in my engine without slowing things down too much... Don't worry - I'll figure out something! • Figure out how to do trees properly. • Multiple pages of level. • Correct tool ranges (+ cursor). ★ Change Log: 7 Aug 2019 - v0.7 - Vegetation spreads, Added workbench & doors, Added placement of walls, grass turns to dirt when it's got no free edges. 5 Aug 2019 - v0.6 - Grass and shrubs, basic trees 4 Aug 2019 - v0.5 - Small level gen 4 Aug 2019 - v0.4 - Completed dirt tileset - Added good set of stone tiles. 3 Aug 2019 - v0.3 - Player has width, Prevented placing torches in invalid locations. 2 Aug 2019 - v0.2 - Place Dirt / Remove torches 1 Aug 2019 - v0.1 - Initial Release (pre-alpha) Credits: Terraria for all the original artwork
