Looks interesting so far! After playing around a bit, I found a couple bugs and a few things to suggest.
BUGS
- The game sometimes crashes when pressing Esc, but I haven't fully figured out why yet. I think it often seems to happen if the debug menu has been opened at least once, when fully stuck in blocks, or right when creating a world, but it's not 100% and may be caused by other things yet.
- Blocks can be placed on the player
- Blocks can be placed off-screen if the mouse can move off-screen, such as by having a second monitor
- Minor lag spike when crossing chunk borders
- White line in the sky where the chunk borders stop showing
SUGGESTIONS
- Add missing controls to the main page -- Q, Shift, Plus/Minus
- Add coordinates to the debug menu
- Add a max and min height to where the player can go, or some type of respawn button
- Add a max/min zoom level
- Falling momentum shouldn't build up while stuck in a block, and should be reset when teleporting
But anyway, good work so far and I'm interested in seeing where this goes if you continue working on it.
There are a lot of bugs right now, they will all be fixed eventually.. Thanks for trying it out!! Also, the white line at the top is actually intentional, just to show where the top of the world is... in the future you won't be able to build up there so i'll remove it
I found a bug. You ca place blocks anywhere, even on top of other blocks like a painting program. Also, can you make it so that you can't place blocks way up in the sky and maybe even a skin syste like Minecraft!
Yup a lot of bugs rn. They will all be fixed in the future, but right now I am focusing on just getting the basics working... my next problem to tackle in entities...
