Thanks for PM! Testing now

How many stats files do you want from each of us, because I'm sure I could produce a lot...

Same here. I have 4 variations to test on, some others of us have more

Well just one per card/play session should be enough really. As long as you move around the map a lot it should gather enough data.

Also, forgot to mention it but while noclip is nice for testing, it goes a lot faster than just walking, therefore streaming (in its current form since it doesn't really prioritize directions) can appear to be too slow in certain situations even though it wouldn't if you'd just walked like a normal human being.

I am going to build a tower, walk away and come back to see how fast it loads it. Will the tower actually be saved though? Plus, how are saves loaded? Its all just for testing

Two questions:

How long do you want us to play for?
Uh...how do you look down? I can't quite seem to figure that one out.

You can either save by pressing the save button or by walking away (but, like, really, really far away) to have the autosave kick in.
And the game saves directly to the map file so that's how it's loaded...

As long as you like. If strictly speaking about the stats, a few minutes of walking around (going as far as possible) and maybe building a few things (and then saving the map before saving the stats) would be nice.

As for looking up/down, just use the touch screen.

Great! Thanks

Oh man, this is awesome. The bugs just let me moon jump out of the map. Of course, I got a Guru Meditation Error, but it was worth it.

Just compared it on my DSi in dsi mode and on my DSlite in ds mode side by side. I can't see much difference speed.
The dynamic map is just amazing. Nice piece of code !

/me continue to test it ...

Thanks.

Unfortunately, that was to be expected for the DSi thing. The DS and the DSi have the same GPU and neither of them can render more than 60 frames per second, so the game couldn't go faster.
However, a special DSi version could one day be made to new features which require more ram or cpu power.

Also, just wanted to let you in on the fact that being able to see through blocks if you get too close to them can actually be handy to find caves. Just saying though.

The map isn't gigantic on the surface, so I can only assume that I have to dig a bit in the available areas to find the caves. I do think I remember seeing a hollow area while looking through a few blocks before I broke the game the first time. :3

Well, I'm gonna build some cool shit in the coming day or so. For now, it is late. I'll play some before I go to sleep though, and I'll play more tomorrow.

Just gotta say, the no limits on jumping are fantastic. Placing a block where you're standing results in an auto super jump too as soon as you jump to escape. Makes for a good time. xD

Check under the big lakes, they seem to be there.
Infact, gimme a sec and ill give you ther cursor coordinates for them

EDIT: Look at the ground, find cursor 1 on the debugger, and move to these co-ordinates: 177 30 13

Welcome to the caves, bring some torches

EDIT2: You can only see the c,o,r and 1 of cursor 1. It is in the center of that rectangle on the left.

But that's a bug, right? You're going to fix it?

Btw, i've found two bugs, one concerning torches and another concerning the clouds...

I'm th only one with a R4i Gold Revolution Upgrade on a Nintendo DSi XL?
And the latest firmware

Could I test it? Perhaps you will get a PM with a long feedback...

Sent a PM with my stat file. This new version is really nice. Wish I could play it for hours more, but it's 6AM where I am and I have to get some sleep. One thing: I was pleasantly surprised learn you could take screenshots. I didn't make anything worthy of capturing yet, but the option to show off your creations gives some nice motivation beyond self-satisfaction.

Same here

But it bugs sometimes, so take 3 screenshots of 1 thing for safety. PLUS it names like 0001, BUT it restarts every time you start the game, meaning overwriting screenshots. Be carful, I wasnt.

Lost some awsome shots.

Now, only if there was multiplayer(which probably actually wouldn't be a good idea considering the quality of the WIFI

EDIT: Of the DS, of course).
