Found this while browsing through emails today. Thought some of you may find it interesting. PS: Sorry, I know I suck at being OP. [url]http://code.google.com/p/minedroid/[/url] I have personally tested it (Samsung Galaxy S GTI9000) and it seems to work extremely well... There is alot of room for improvement (its not even a proper classic clone yet) but its a proof of concept. Some pics thanks to SGTNAPALM [IMG]http://thecodegurus.net/snap20110406_153424.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://thecodegurus.net/snap20110406_153444.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://thecodegurus.net/snap20110406_153606.png[/IMG] --- I will be contributing towards this project and so will implement a better log manager soon so we can monitor why many phones have problems. Hopefully will be able to sort most of them.
I have seen this exact same thing done for iphone.
Better than DroidCraft. I doubt my phones fast enough to run it anyways.
Why would people waste their time when Mojang is going to do this officially?

[QUOTE=NINTENDUDECT;29008890]Why would people waste their time when Mojang is going to do this officially?[/QUOTE] Because people can do it better than Mojang could dream of doing it.
Endless 'Loading level.dat' for me :sad: Droid X
[QUOTE=Nacho Cheese;29009300]Because people can do it better than Mojang could dream of doing it.[/QUOTE] Yeah, true.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;29010172]No pics for the droidless? :saddowns:[/QUOTE] There are videos in the link. [editline]5th April 2011[/editline] If you want later I can get screens though.
can someone record some gameplay ? [editline]6th April 2011[/editline] the ones provided are pretty bad
It's kinda cool I guess. I built a little shack, but I hit the home button and it didn't save it, so no pictures. Ran at about 15 FPS on my Droid 1, so it was a little sluggish.
Tried it on my Galaxy S. It didn't work sadly.
Holy fuck it works. Thanks so much OP. EDIT: Incase anyone wonders i'm playing it on a HTC Gratia with android 2.2, not rooted or anything.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;29008951]Is it Froyo+ only?[/QUOTE] Not sure, I will test it in eclair later today :) [editline]6th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=dude2193;29010504]can someone record some gameplay ?

It worked on my 2.1 Voodoo Fascinate. Here are some pictures from my server map. I can't be assed to turn them right side up.

Water does not flow properly. I was in noclip mode. Loading chunks was really laggy, probably due to my SD card, but when the chunks were loaded it was silky smooth. [editline]6th April 2011[/editline] Also, probably because the maker didn't want to have a lawsuit from Mojang, it uses painterly textures by default. I don't see a way to change that.
[QUOTE=NINTENDUDECT;29008890]Why would people waste their time when Mojang is going to do this officially?[/QUOTE] MineDroid was a proof of concept. Not meant for a real game.
[QUOTE]This is intended as an exploration of how [URL="http://www.minecraft.net/"][COLOR=#0000cc]Minecraft[/COLOR][/URL] could work with a touchscreen interface rather than a full implementation of the game. For that you'll have to wait for [URL="http://mojang.com/"][COLOR=#0000cc]Mojang[/COLOR][/URL] to either make their own client or release the source[/QUOTE] I'm not entirely sure clone is the right word.

I set up my MineDroid install so that I could sync my droid's world to my laptop's world, and show people my castles wherever I go. It's a useful little app, although still in early stages.
Work great on my Moto Droid 1

Looks interesting
[QUOTE=NINTENDUDECT;29008890]Why would people waste their time when Mojang is going to do this officially?[/QUOTE] Mojang are going do this officially you say. Where did you get this information?
[QUOTE=NINTENDUDECT;29008890]Why would people waste their time when Mojang is going to do this officially?[/QUOTE] Because it would take Mojang 2 years before it's even playable.
