What? No graphics card has 7770 GHz.

I never said it had 7770 GHz. It's called the GHz Edition. L2GPU



I have noticed that the people who say it would lag/would be stuff, probably haven't owned a mobile Apple product. None of them have seen games like Mass Effect: Infiltrator or Modern Combat 3. Those games are gorgeous. They seem to be 10x more intensive than Blockland. Oh? But they run on the iPad and iPod and iPhone perfectly well. For gods sakes, they have Minecraft on there. And a lot of its features are in it too.

We can dream can't we?

yeah, you can dream without involving everyone in it.

It's actually not a bad idea for iPad. iPod/iPhone not so much, because of how small and cramped the controls would be. But with the iPad, there is more processing and space.

Brief iPad Control Concept

Walk button on screen
While holding down walk button, tilt forward slightly to go ahead, tilt left and right to scuttle left and right
Three fingers to turn aim
Touch screen anywhere to aim and place brick
Double tap with two fingers to bring up brick menu
Swipe to scroll (brick cart, inventory)
Touch GUI buttons to make inventory appear and disappear, for light, and for emotes
Jet / jump combo button on GUI

Clean GUI, building and moving controls are gestures and tilting. Easy. You don't need as many build controls with a touch screen, thats what people don't get. It would also make sense to skip any unnecessary features like macro or Self Delete.
I would prefer something like this:
A tab to open brick bar with an extra button to open the selection menu. when you're done exit out of that.
A tab for tools. close the tab when you're done.
A tab for colors. Close it when you're done.
use arrows to look around.
use minecraft's Circle to move around.
and a tab to open the Esc menu.

Yeah it would clutter the side of the screen and it wont be done because not only would badspot not do this, it would look like stuff and probably have the demo brick limit before lagging.


To be bluntly honest, it's never going to happen.
Updates are far enough apart as it is, imagine how slow updating would be if they had to update TWO games at the same time.

controls: a few buttons at the bottom of the screen
biggest button: jump, hold to jet
arrow keys: move around
tap the screen to place a ghost brick when holding the brick tool
a button at the right of the biggest button: place the brick
tap the screen to fire a weapon/use a tool
only default items
lan for servers

Before they put it on a closed console why go through the pile of stuff that is the Apple App Store Acceptance Screening, and actually get to have open access on Android?

Yeah, hypothetically it makes total sense to close out a multi-million dollar market because you don't like Apple.  :cookieMonster:

forget me lol.

No, it's because they won't let a 35000 player game that no one has ever heard of be in the app market.

This is still going on?
Listen, the only chance of there ever being BL on a portable device is that the game would have to be re-coded with something different, new engine and code.
I.E. THIS
That was the only chance of this happening.

That is not true in the slightest. How do you think any app starts out?

Any app, as long as it is of quality and meets guidelines, is allowed to be. It doesn't matter if you made it in your garage in 30 minutes.

Then how do you suppose they let angry birds, a brand new game with ZERO players initially, onto the app store.

I love how people hate anything Apple makes regardless of the product  :cookieMonster:

Yes, a hate filter for reasons unknown (considering so many here haven't actually handled an Apple product ever lol).
