I do not participate much in the forum, but I read it a lot.
14 days ago I started programming my first game using the Jmonkey SDK. I’ve never programmed in Java.
My idea was to program a bloxel(original!! :-D) to learn Java.
By now I gotta show on screen 400x400x256 blocks in 16x16x16 chunks. Works at 200-300 fps in my new pc, 50-80 fps in my old mac . I added ligths and fog.
I also got to add and remove blocks. The chunk recharge in 5 ms. I built a stair .
Nicely done. Now that you’ve tried your hand at making your own from scratch, now might be a good time to try out a more mature project like Cubes, which benefits from multiple testers and contributors.
