Off Topic / Re: Blockland App for the Ipod

« on: March 29, 2011, 11:58:10 PM »

90% of people don't understand two things:
2. Apple's iPod line has mutlitouch. Mutlitouch easily support gestures. Gestures could like you do a lot of things
1. You need 40 keys for touchscreens, that's why they are so great. If you want the brick menu, you could just tap it and it would pop out. Movement and other stuff could be control by gestures.

Screen space might be a problem on iPod touch though, making it better suited for the iPad.

Would Blockland for iPod touch be very easy to control? Probably not. Would it still let you enjoy the basic features Blockland anywhere? Yes.

On a somewhat separate note - now I realize why America sucks so much now. Our youth just says "it won't work" instead of trying to come up with creative ways to make it work.

The code would probably have to be remade from scratch. He could hire someone else to make it like Minecraft is, but that might be costly. I think it would be cool to have this, but I don't think it would be worth Badspot's time or money.

I propose we build a new airport. I already have one runway built. Here is a very rough layout I threw together. It leaves out the details, but we can figure those out as a clan.

General Discussion / Re: Apparently the max brickcount is 256000 for a reason.

« on: March 27, 2011, 05:59:14 PM »

It can't actually go any higher because the engine can only send a limited amount of objects to the client. There is that limit because of network limitations. You wouldn't want to wait 20 minutes for a server to ghost, would you?

Here is an extremely old quote from Badspot I found. It was when the brick limit was still 128,000 bricks, but this quote explains why things get messed up when you try to make more bricks.

Quote

The ghostIDs are transmitted using 17bits. 2^17 = 131072 ghosted objects at a time. Due to bugs in the ghosting code, if you have more objects than that, you may have problems like not seeing other people or not being able to respawn. Even if it works perfectly, you won't be able to save everything at once from the client because not all of the server's objects will be represented on your client.
