And I have yet to see a game quite as fun to modify as Blockland. While I'm sure Badspot is really busy, I wish he'd give at least a little more support to the add-on makers. Also, while there are no true ways of coding, there are certainly good ways of coding. And if you can make a game like Blockland... you certainly have a good way of coding.
The 'good way' to code is to logically create your own code. Rather than live from someone else's work. (thus never actually understanding how it works)
I'll even bring your brown townogy into it.
Until we have something like that, I fear the quality of my add-ons will never surpass that of a kid tinkering around in the basement with a roll of duct tape, a few sticks, and a large pile of contraptions made by other people. Those other contraptions also being made of duct-tape and dead tree matter.[/list]
With sticks and a roll of duct tape, and a pile of other sticks and duct tape, you could make plenty of things.
A longer stick for reaching things.
A swing.
A long claw that can grab things.
A fire.
A toy.
A foundation for a model house.
A fishing rod.
A spear.
A lock.
A trap.
Or even use it to hold a window open.
To fix a chair leg.
A suit of wooden armor.
This is the problem. You're not thinking enough. You just look at what you got and don't think of anything unless someone puts it on your lap. I shouldn't have to show you that you can bundle a few of the sticks together with the tape, then use the tape as ropes to hang from a tree so you can swing on it. If you wanted a swing and had sticks and duct tape, you should be able to figure it out.
