Minecraft 2.1

Hi, my name is Rohan. I am a programmer who creates games, making mobile applications, and web designing. I find devpost's work to be interesting, so I used my skills to make a 2d Minecraft game.

Inspiration

Minecraft is one of my favorite games, and I thought why not I make a simpler version using programming.

What it does

This game I made is a 2d version of Minecraft, and the player can move with arrow keys and place blocks with different letters.

How I built it

First I did the basic html web designing part, in which I added some bootstrap links, text elements, uploaded a background, and then added a canvas. Then I worked on css where I positioned my background, gave a style to the canvas, and other elements. I added the fabric.js library. Fabric.js is a javascript library that basically adds an interactive platform that works with the html canvas. Finally, I worked on the javascript, where I added the height and width of the blocks. I used addEventListener, e.shiftKey, and if conditions to enable the user to control the player and add different blocks using different keys. I downloaded the image blocks from google.

Challenges I ran into

Sometimes I received errors in the console, mainly from the javascript code. Sometimes I had incorrect syntax, in which I inspected the console, and debugged the code.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

Whenever I made syntax errors, or errors of any such, I persisted and didn't stop until it was fixed. I am proud of the output, and the input.

What I learned

I learned many new concepts along the way such as javascript, html, and css properties. I also learned to persist and keep going in order to accomplishing your goal.

What's next for Minecraft 2.1

Once my users get familiar with this app, I will eventually add mobs such as monsters, chickens, and more. I will also add different biomes.
