Crafter 0.08a

A blocky game written in java with LWJGL 3

Based off of what I've learned from Minetest's engine and lua api

Discord: https://discord.gg/dRPyvubfyg

IRC: #crafter on Libera (https://libera.chat/)

Required Java version (JRE): 17

You can get this version at: https://jdk.java.net/17/

Or you can install openJDK on most linux distros.

Ubuntu: sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk

Fedora: sudo dnf install java-latest-openjdk-devel.x86_64

To update default JRE: sudo update-alternatives --config java

You can try these flags for a performance boost, if you want. These are experimental.

-Xmx1G -XX:-UseAdaptiveSizePolicy -XX:-UseParallelGC -Xmn128M

Building with ANT:

If you know how to improve the ant build script, feel free to.

You must install ANT (Another Neat Tool) for the build to work.

Once you have ANT installed, you can simply CD to the Crafter directory.

Check build.properties to make sure that jdk.home.17= is pointing to your openJDK 17 install.

You can find this with: readlink -f $(which java) (Don't copy the bin/java part)

Run ant -keep-going

Once it says build successful, you must create a folder for the game, preferably on your desktop.

Drop the jar from the build directory (WHEREVER/Crafter/out/artifacts/Crafter_jar/Crafter.jar) to your new folder directory.

Copy the /textures/ and /sounds/ folders into the new directory.

You should now be able to run the game using java -jar Crafter.jar in the folder you created, or double clicking the jar in Windows.

Todo List: (This is probably outdated)

1. Modularize things - less hardcoded implementations
