Revision as of 00:54, 24 August 2011

DScraft is a Minecraft clone Homebrew for the Nintendo DS developed by Smealum.

DScraft

Official topic on GBAtemp

Official website

From the official website: DScraft is a DS homebrew adaptation of the popular game Minecraft. At the moment this is a rather complete adptation of "creative mode" (or minecraft Classic), which means there is only exploration and creation in this version. I am planning on attempting to adapt survival in future versions !

DScraft was made by smealum alone in his spare time and is in no way associated with Minecraft or Mojang.

Links

We have also a DSCraft Plugin icon for DSTwo.

Place both DScraft.nds and the content of the plugin in SD:\_dstwoplug\ folder

How to install

For nitroFS version :
- place DScraft.nds anywhere on your card.
- place the dscraft folder in the same directory as the .nds
- that's it !

If that doesn't work, try the FAT version :
- place DScraft_fat.nds anywhere on you card.
- place the dscraft folder at the ROOT of your card.
- that's it !

Maps

Known bug

Version Bug description Tested on, by Status
200811 Title screen: On game launch there are garbages lines on bottom screen until the title screen appear. Same thing happens when exiting the game to title screen when hitting Start button. SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Known
200811 Title screen: Both screens have an odd refresh rate, it looks like it's blinking continuously with different brightness. SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Fixed (220811)
200811 Title screen: On texture pack selection screen, when using the scroll bar the top and bottom screen are merged/swapped (like 10 lines at the top of each screen). SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Fixed (220811)
200811 Title screen: When loading a texture pack, either the bottom screen is printed in the top screen, either the top printed in the bottom screen. SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Known
200811 in inventory: dragging a bloc to bottom line works fine (it swap textures correctly), but moving a block to another place holder is buggy. First time it swap, second time if you want to swap the newly moved block again back to it's place then it doesn't work, it's using the old block not the new one, and place two texture in the same place. always grab the bottomless texture.
How to reproduce
Try with the water bucket to see easily the problem, as it doesn't match the bottom pattern.
1 - swap water to inventory (work)
2 - swap water (in inventory) with adjacent block (work)
3 - re-move the water back to its old adjacent place : both are in the same place. (The water is really not invisible in the empty case, as you can't grab the empty case)
4 - try re-swapping the water to the empty place : it grabs the lower sprite instead
5- swap water back to usable panel at the bottom : two item again. if you select it, it's placing lower sprite block on the map.

GUI for the map generator

There is a graphical user interface for the command-line map generator by smealum. called: DScraft Map Generator GUI it supports creating map generation, naming the maps and other options that are related to the GUI and the command-line program by smealum. you can download the latest version here: DScraft Map Generator GUI


Requests and suggestions

Game system

  • Save the player position on save/load. (maybe a header in the map file). - Done.
  • Statistics
  • Use another config file along with the terrain.png to define animation sequences. Each line = 1 sequence. It could be texture's cell's start-cell's end, or real cell's sequences to animate in random order, not always loop: 1-2-4-5-4-5-4-5-2-loop or ping-pong)


User interface

  • when we place a block of water it spreads, make it possible so that i can remve the water placing a block where i placed the water.
  • Add a blueish type of screen when under water
  • Minimap : Can't do, reason : Not enough memory. At least in DS mode. (not really but yeah, probably won't do a minimap)
  • Show player's coordinate (x;y;z, with x=north-south, y=west-east, z=floor-sky)
  • Show the map information (or make a menu when pressing Start with options to return to game/exit and show the current map filename/size.)
  • please add a custom controls (as in pc)
  • Ability to increase the map size (or decrease too?) while in game. If you need more place you can't export your constructions to a bigger one.


Game rendering

  • Everything Minecraft is square, including the sun, so why did you make it a circle in DScraft?! - Because that's the sun from eldpack, DScraft's default texture pack.
  • Could you make the clouds 3-dimensional (1 block high) like in Minecraft. - Nope, polygons are precious, I can't waste them on clouds. Plus, clouds are flat in Minecraft if you run it on "fast" mode (which I do :P)
  • Different colored target depending on the creation/deletion mode.


Game mechanics

  • Enable/disable water spreading limit.
