Fractal Block World

Version 0.91.0


Back
At the end of 2018, I left my postdoc position at the University of Denver and accepted a permanent position at the University of Vermont!

I started serious work on the map (but continued work on the engine).

In February 2020, I created Version 0.91.0 of the game. This is NOT availible to download because it is superseded by the steam version. Something to note is that at this time (and a few months before) I was changing the ray intersects world algorithm. So weapons do not work in this version.

Major Packages

When you start a new game, you select a package. The final version of the game is intended to come with the following packages:

Base: This is the package on which all other packages depend. You CANNOT actually play a game by selecting this as the package.

Xar: This is the main game.

Blank: When a user decides to create their own package, they should do so by copying the Blank package.

Package Tutorial 1: A player who begins a game with this package enters a world with text boxes explaining how to make his/her own package.

Package Tutorial 2: This is the follow-on to Package Tutorial 1. This focuses on games with gravity and the ability to create and destroy blocks. Other block related issues are discussed.
This version of the game only comes with the Xar and Package Turotial 2 packages as playable packages.
