LuaCraft - Minecraft-style DS homebrew

[tinymonkeyt]

LuaCraft is a Micro LUA DS Homebrew which features minecraft-like game play. For more information please give the information below a read

Spoiler: About

2D, Minecraft-style homebrew game for DS. Like Terraria, this early-in-development project interprets Mojang’s 3D sandbox game into a 16-bit-esque sidescrolling thing.

French coder Fantasix says LuaCraft — unrelated to the identically titled Minecraft custom server — has the basic functions of its progenitor: you can move, place, and break blocks, as well as create items out of blocks. LuaCraft also supports mods, so you can add content and features from other people (or make your own) to the game.

Keep in mind that Fantasix is putting out a lot of updates, which is awesome. If you can read French or don’t mind using Google Translate, you can follow LuaCraft’s development, read up on the controls/crafting, or learn about how to make mods in this discussion thread.

I'll have to give this a try sometime.

I can't see the point of minecraft without redstone, and can't see how redstone would work in 2D...

But still great, it's at least worth having a play with.

I tried this game,but I really don't seem to know the controls.I can only move left and right.How do you smash blocks?

 

[purechaos996]

Looks more like terraria but both games are fun so I might give it a go.

 

[Deleted-236924]

I can read French and understand too, thanks to school days, but tough words are beyond me though.

 

[corenting]

I can help you !

First, "chargement" means "loading" and "sauvegarde" means saving.

The controls :

Outside :
Right/Left : Move
Right/Left + Up : Climb on a block
Stylus (touch) on a empty block : Put a block
Stylus (held) : Break a block
Up + stylus (touch) : interact with the block (workbench for example)
Up : Climb on ladders
Select : Inventory
L/R : change items

Inventory/Workbench :
Drag & drop : move an object from the stack
Down + drag & drop : move the stack
Right/Left + drag & drop : move half of the stack

That's funny, me and a ton of other players find redstone incredibly useless and never use it. It's simply an addition which some players use and some don't. C'est tout.

I guess that's why it's got such a cult following, different things to different people.

Redstone lets you make a working Quake 3 arena.
Just sayin'.

Man, with Redstone, you can program and make almost anything. I remember seeing a video about a guy that made a scientific calculator out of redstone.

Wasn't that thing, like, fucking huge or something? Kinda wish there was an easier way to do that...
EDIT: And all the best homebrew are in french :

 

[Windaga]

Does anyone know how to set this up? I'd like to try it out, but I've no idea what to do with the files :/

Either way though, it looks great.

 

[machomuu]

Funny, I've had Minecraft for about 3-4 months and I've never used redstone other than when I was playing with Single Player Commands.

Looks interesting, I'll try it out.
Had to look in the replies to figure out how to get it working.

Edit: Tried it out, kind of boring due to lack of content.

Anyone know why Micro Lua crashes to a Sleep mode screen on my Supercard DSTwo? I'm using a 3DS.

 

[signz]

That game is actually pretty nice, although it takes some time to get used to it at first.
