Hi guys! I am a 15 year old guy who likes to code and likes to draw and so on, I am known as "EEVV", "0EEVV0", "LeftHandedGuy" or even "LeftHandedGuyPlays"... (Enough about auto-biography)
It was really confusing where to post this, I found this subforum the most relevant.
I have create a program over the past ~5 days that mimics or emulates or even simulates Starmade logic, this program was supposed to be bare-bone, and it's for those who don't like waiting for Starmade to launch just to try something cool. This program is in 2d.
Why don't you watch this video:
For those of you who didn't want to watch the long video, here is some text for you to stare at indefinitely;
(Some thing about the program)
The program has 4 logic gates;
1 - And (Max 4 inputs)
2 - Not (Max 2 inputs)
3 - Or (Max 4 inputs)
4 - Xor (Might be removed)
And 1 white lamp.
Here are some controls :p
w - move up
a - move left
s - move down
d - move right
left shift - move faster
left click - place an activation modules / buffer
left click + 1 - place an and gate
left click + 2 - place a not gate
left click + 3 - place an or gate
left click + 4 - place an xor gate
left click + 9 - place a white lamp
middle mouse + mouse movement - drag the screen (move around using mouse)
c - select block
v - connect selected block to the block under the mouse cursor
x - removes current blocks connections
and some more :D
"-" or "_" - zoom out
"=" or "+" - zoom in
g - toggle grid
b - select multiple blocks (work in progress)
And i'm nearly finished typing, what a relief *exhales
I hope you enjoy using this program as much as I have enjoy creating it.
Downloads:
Download for Windows (Current version = v2.4.2)
For linux you will have to wine it, it works perfectly (I have used wine1.7, and ironically i prefer linux)
What I will do, and what I wouldn't do:
Would:
I will add sleep gates / timer gates
I will add more lamps
I will add a simple inventory system (think of minecraft styles)
I will add wireless logic
I will add multiplayer support
I will add public schematic support (share it to the world)
I will add saving very soon
I will change the logic to be more efficient yet more responsive
I will recode everything from scratch and give it some textures
I will add a proper main menu
I will add some options for the lower-end pc's
I will add user selective logic optimization
Wouldn't:
3d - just not going to happen, starmade already did that, I wanted to make it kind of bare-boned
4d - are you kidding me 0.0
ships - this is just a logic emulator
(I guess that's all ?)
Performance:
On average using only buffers / activation modules I get
~ 400 fps
While building a 2bit adder I got down to
~ 30 fps (Blaming procedurally generated text)
You see for now the blocks use text instead of textures, which is generating text realtime
all that number crunching causes lag.
Now you might think that's bad, here is some optimistic text to get some hope back;
Don't believe my earlier text? Place alot of buffers, about 50, or more. And the press f3,
suddenly your fps plummets, why? Because it shows all the ID's of the blocks, it also is an aligned text, which also does more number crunching, this can make your precious medieval toaster explode (aka everything not responding pop ups)
here is my sweet toaster rig:
Acer aspire x310 (I believe)
Modfied windows to support Gt 630 Nvidia (power failures)
CPU: 2 core (1 thread each) 2.7GHz
GPU: 96 cuda cores, 700MHz
Changelog:
Coming soon (It's comming soon, I promise, I promise...)
Post for any features I could add in, full credit will go to you, don't worry !
