What would Minecraft look like if it was programmed for a 1980s 8-Bit computer? To try everything Brilliant has to offer-free-for a full 30 days, visit brilliant.org/Inkbox . The first 200 of you will get 20% off Brilliant’s annual premium subscription.
Using the power of the Commander X16, a newly released 8-Bit computer I've begun the process of building a brand new 8-Bit block game. Through some heavy programming I designed a chunk loading engine in 6502 assembly. But because there weren't any great tile designing tools for the X16, like YYCHR for the NES, I had to make them myself. The links to my tile maker is available below. However, after designing a chunk rending engine with tiles, I realized that it looked terrible. I tore it out and replaced it with a new method of rending using the X16's bitmap mode. Although it uses more video memory, the isometric blocks look much better. And most of the code from my first attempt could be recycled, so nothing ended up being a waste. More updates are soon to follow so stay tuned.

Render caves by skipping blocks below stanley's Y position to his feet and blocks above his height! Here is a suggestion for optimizing your rendering process. Method 1: Thinks of rendering your 3D world as a 2D Grid. Have an invisible 2D grid of data that store z depth of the highest block! This grid only get modified when you add or remove block. Then you render from bottom up! Method 2: Render Front side, then upper slab till it reach bottom back corner. and use 2 row of data that store depth. (Highest from lowest. Lowest from Highest) You modify those depth while rendering block by Z minus Y. And you use those data to skip everything that is hidden underneath. A more complicated but potentially minimal complexity! Needs a little more work for correct draw order. I'd be curious to see how well this would run!

You could probably speed up rendering significantly if you just searched for all visible blocks and rendered only them, as a matter of fact, since you have as much RAM as you do, you could probably store a list of all visible blocks and update it as the world is interacted with, that way you'd probably be able to smooth scroll again. Since you'd not spend so much time rendering.

@isaiahkepner8078 8 ай бұрын

@feelinghealing3890 8 ай бұрын

Yeah, seemed a bit weird to me that rendering unseen blocks was even considered, let alone done. I mean, people bricked their PCs trying to "export" a small minecraft world because the tool they used did not have culling enabled and 3 billion objects is a bit much.

@InkboxSoftware 8 ай бұрын

The only issue is processing power and memory. It's faster to check 4096 values once than run an algorithm that requires some amount of extra memory and still may require checking thousands of blocks continously.

@maker0824 8 ай бұрын

⁠@@InkboxSoftwareI think they are referring to rendering. From your explanation it sounds like you are rendering all blocks, regardless of if they are visible. This is a waste

@InkboxSoftware 8 ай бұрын

Currently the blocks that aren't visible aren't being rendered. I do copy each block to a buffer, which may later be overwritten by later blocks. It's true, that is a bit of a waste, but how do I know which blocks are visible or not without checking a significant number of other blocks for each and every block? In the current method, I examine each block once, then I can copy the buffer to VRAM to be processed visually. So blocks that aren't seen aren't rendered by the VERA (the video card).

I saw a video by a guy who made minecraft for calculator, he did isometric projection, but instead of using bitmap approach, he came up with a way to do tiling for isometric projection too, basically when you look at a block in isometric projection, you can split it into 3 sides, then if you split each of the sides into 2 tiles, you get 6 tiles per one block, yes the tiles have to be triangular and you have to make 6 per one block in the game, but it would definitely let you increase the texture size of your blocks, here's the link to the video of that guy if you wanna see how he made it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNBpdsx-tJyaqJ8.html&ab_channel=TheScienceElf It came out yesteday so you might've already seen it idk

yeah, it won’t fix all perspective issues, but the ability to rotate between 4 different viewing angles is pretty common for isometric games, like Rollercoaster Tycoon, and really helps disambiguate when there’s a question.

@IONATVS 8 ай бұрын

An additional idea that could further help in such situations is an “cross-section” toggle that when activated only renders blocks at stanley’s current head height or lower. still wouldn’t be *easy* to navigate below ground, but would make it more possible.

@IONATVS 8 ай бұрын

@@JG-vh6oy True, though it can be hard to navigate on the plane if you don’t know what blocks are in the head-height layer…so how about this: one 8-bit word for the overall view perspective, first 2 bits stores the orientation 0-3, next bit stores boolean 0 if cross-section toggle off, 1 if on. Next bit stores a boolean for 2 ways of implementing cross-section: 0 for “survival/adventure mode” cross section, where the draw height options are relative to current player foot height, with a min of seeing the block layer beneath your feet on top and a max of the block above head height on top, then 1 for “creative/spectator mode” cross section, where they’re instead fixed with respect to bedrock. In either case the last 4-digit nibble (which can be extracted with modulo 16 division) would hold the numeric offset 0-15 from that reference level for the cross-section to stop rendering at.

Like someone else said, I think you should assign a button to rotate the view by 90° so you can see the blocks behind other blocks. If you find it useful, you can add an arrow that shows how the view is rotated, an arrow that points NE, NW, SW, SE based on the way the camera is currently oriented.

One suggestion just about this video specifically - I'm wearing headphones, and the hard-left pan of the music made it difficult for me to concentrate on what you were saying, because the music sounded like it was just a little guy playing music in one ear while you were talking to me. So, in future videos, maybe consider having the music in stereo / both ears (even if panned some), instead of just all the way to the left.

Might be helpful to hide the bottom most chunks in order to make it more easily visible when you're under ground. Otherwise, you're going to get lost. But you'll still need a way to see what you're doing, because I'm sure you're bound to get behind blocks in the chunk you're in which would make it hard to see the player and what you're actually doing. Hiding chunks until you walk into a different chunk might give you more VRAM to work with as a bonus

This looks awesome! I'd love to see a simplified survival gameplay mixed in with maybe some small story elements of the lore and history of the world of Minecraft.

Honestly the isometric view looks great, better than the original plan!

the music starting at 6:24 was really distracting imo, couldnt watch the rest of the video cuz of it

Sometime the YT suggestions page gets things right. This is one of the times Awesomne video. Subbed to see how it progresses

I think the chunk loading thing at the end is pretty cool. A good way of overcoming the issues it had and it's kind of cool

The bitmap version feels much much more 8-bity to me. It has a strong ZZT vibe which is just so nostalgic and cozy for me

Amazing video! Would love to see how you handle water. Also, why is music only in the left channel?

I’ve been dreaming of an 8 bit or 16 bit minecraft for a while now. Great job! The final look is fantastic, and I can’t actually believe you actually made it in an 8-but hardware! Hardcore!!!

Easy subscription!! Im hyped to see more and im curious as to what you'll implement for mining, going to lower levels within a chunk, and block destruction/collection or if sny of that is even possible in the first place! Great stuff either way man!

This showed up on my KZfaq feed today. Needless to say, I’m impressed already. How are you going to handle occluded blocks? I know that’s a common issue with the isometric perspective
