Sure! It turned out to be pretty simple using libgdx. Ill just go ahead and share the whole class:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22   23   24   25   26   27   28   29   30   31   32   33   34   35   36   37   38   39   40   41   42   43   44   45   46   47   48   49   50   51   52   53   54   55   56   57   58   59   60   61   62   63   64   65   66   67   68   69   70

Just finished implementing a simple crafting system (not exactly crafting yet but the concept is all there) that is available in the updated download.
This download includes: new Mob ai, crafting menu (can be accesed by pressing z during gameplay), farm and house have been excluded from this update until some small bugs are fixed.
here is a screenshot of the crafting menu:


The mob is viewable in the bottom left area of the map. Please report any bugs / problems, enjoy!

For everyone who was having trouble with opening this on a Mac I will do little tutorial to help you out.
1. Open up terminal
2. type java -jar (drag the JAR file to the Terminal window)
3. Make sure you have a space between -jar and the file you dragged into the window
4. Press enter and enjoy!

Just spent some time recently to add a new "Mining Robot" which basically goes around collecting a single ore every minute. Eventually you will need to supply it with coal to keep it going but for now it works. Also I added a new iron and copper ore. Copper will be needed to build electronics (such as the mining robot) and iron is used for structures. The top bar of items / amounts has been removed and replaced with a blank bar which eventually will contain tools to use to make a particular task faster / easier. Since there are currently no tools it is blank. You can view your inventory by clicking the box with the slashes in it.
Here is the mining robot and its simple GUI.


At the moment its pretty simple but as I said above it will gain more features soon.
Also here are the new ores and the new Inventory system.

the left ore is copper and the right is iron


Eventually I think I will add pictures to the inventory / robot gui so you know which is which. Here is the updated download: http://goo.gl/RYovl

Looking great so far Do you have any plans to procedurally generate content? (presuming so far you're using a fixed grid owtte).
I always find it hard in rpg projects to keep code as clean as possible X) Good luck!

[Jimmt]

What font is that?

Eventually I do plan on setting up a randomly generated terrain, right now it is not set in a fixed grid however.

[wreed12345]

What font is that?

The cooler looking one in the menus? or the one that is drawn when you go over an object?

[wreed12345]

Just created and added a super cool tree falling animation made with Spine

The animation doesn't completely give it justice so go ahead and download the updated game here: http://goo.gl/f0xAw
If you run out of trees to place just go ahead and click z and place a new tree through the craft menu. If you have any suggestions for more animations to add or anything about the game in general feel free to leave a comment

Ahahaha This looks awesome!
Still needs some art-work on the trunk though

[isteinvids]

Try adding infinite terrain, with the background grass texture on repeat, and trees and stuff added randomly on terrain. Besides figuring out an algorithm for random trees, it shouldn't be too hard.

I did notice after staring at it, that it looks a little awkward

That's a goal, but do you have any suggestions on making the unlimited terrain? I really am not sure about that one.... The trees seems easy although detecting for overlapping trees might take some thinking. Also just as a follow up any chance that AI code helped you out?

[isteinvids]

Didn't really help cause I don't use libgdx, I personally prefer Slick2d, but it may have been helpful for others xD

The AI part is not really libgdx specific haha

Well just check out this article if you are having trouble with deltaTime problems.

[wreed12345]

also, @isteinvids do you have any idea on how to get unlimited (background) terrain working? I am trying to find some stuff on the internet but no luck so far.

[isteinvids]

You mean the repeated grass?
This could help;

That worked pretty good although still not unlimited (stuck at a fixed amount)

I did manage to do infinite background texture, it is made with Slick2d, but as long as you can get background texture width and height, it should work c:

Press space to toggle repeated texture, you should understand something if repeated texture is off.

You're welcome

Could you give me some insight on the variable names?

grX and grY are just image width and height,  gX and gY are position of grass texture, and you shouldn't have to use toggleX.

Basically, the texture is in middle, and if it moves exactly it's own width/height, it moves back to it's original place. So, if the image is repeated, it gives the illusion of infinite terrain.

Btw, if you couldn't tell, I'm really bad at explaining my own code :/

@isteinvids I reached my message limit for the day concerning that repeated texture. Do you have an email to talk with?
