mcpython-7-pretests

Repo for some tests for the 7th revision of mcpython

Started nearly 2 years after the first public release of the mcpython series

Repo for testing stuff out and writing the base systems for the real mcpython-7 This is phase-1 of the development of mcpython 7, see below for a roadmap:

  1. Preparations (do research on how to do stuff, with other smaller tests) [Since ~17.2.2018 public, before 1-2 years private for fundamental tests]: mostly finished by now
  2. Design choices must be made: some are, some aren't
  3. Write the functional code implementing the design: What we currently do?
  4. Collect: What works, what not? What parts do need a revisit, which parts do work as we like them to do?
  5. Write the game, collecting the results from here

Tests out currently the following stuff:

  • nuitka compiler
  • multiprocessing

Planned tests:

  • networking
  • full data-driven system (-> compiled code can still load stuff)
  • custom nuitka plugin
  • pre-commit-hook for formatting the code
  • fast rendering
  • pyglet 2.0 compatibility

Launching the game [DEV-only]

py launch.py

Building the game [DEV-only]

py build.py

WARNING:

  • builds will take some time to complete, especially on first build
  • as part of the whole test phase, builds may NOT work

API's

Data-Driven

  • Blocks, Items, Entities (inclusive AI definitions)
  • Block Models, Block States, Item Models, Entity Models, Animations (including complex ones for entities)
  • recipes, tags (including gameplay tags), script-like .mcfunction files
  • loot tables, world generation

Python loaded

Codecs for data driven system The following codecs are arrival:

  • Block Codec: codec for block types

Storage Design:

  • registry tables:
    • blocks used in palettes for referencing block names, so there is only an ID, linking here
  • Chunk:
    • a map chunk relative pos -> chunk data:
      • shared_palette: a palette of size u2 with ref size ceil(log2(size)), maybe add global palette and special ref from here?
      • sectors: a list of the following structures:
        • u2 cy: the y//16 coord this section starts
        • u2 palette size followed by palette entries
        • the world, as an array of 16*16*16 entries, starting with 0 for local and 1 for shared, followed by needed bits for reference
