My JRuby Port of a Game by Minecraft's Creator

by PeterCooper —

Last weekend, hundreds of coders took part in Ludem Dare, a 48 hour game coding contest. Minecraft’s creator “Notch” created a cool little game in Java called Prelude of the Chambered. So far, I’ve spent two days porting it to JRuby. It’s not complete but you can play the first few minutes OK now (get weapon, push rocks, kill bats, etc.) The performance is nowhere near as good as in Java but that’s the next step, so if you’re a JRuby expert, I expect pull requests.. :-)

Comments

I’d especially like to see the performance using JRuby 1.6.3 or master on Java 7. I’m looking at tweaks to the code now to speed it up.

Re orignal game:

Amazingly retro game! Managed to collect 7 trinkets, my pew pew pew wasn’t good enough to kill the green monsters!

I’m massively impressed =)
