But can it run Doom? Edit: HE DID IT!!
-
Make a physics engine with just redstone!
-
Now we know that while a redstone graphing calculator won't earn you a girlfriend, Pac-Man will certainly give you one.
-
2015: look at this redstone calculator, it's amazing! 2024: Mattbatwings remakes Pacman in redstone, so cool!
-
Its annoyingly hard to think of redstone games that are hard enough to be challenging but easy enough to be possible
-
note blocks also have an instrument based off of what block is under them and that can be changed with pistons to recreate the overflow bug
-
This man is on a full blown Anime character arc. Every arcade game by next week
-
I love how matt uses those “for example” so we understand what he’s talking about
-
Recreating Pacman completely out of redstone is not nearly as impressive as somehow making the whole process so clearly defined and understandable that I could confidently explain how to do it despite the fact that I'm incapable of doing it myself. Excellent writing, scripting, problem solving, editing, etc. Just a stellar video.
-
Personally for the walls, I'd use the good old fashioned Tetris code. Instead of storing if a tile has walls around it, you just store which tiles are walls. Then when pacman tries to move, you let him land on the wall, check if it is a wall, and if yes get him back to his previous location. This makes sense in code, though I'm not sure if it would be fast enough with redstone.
-
All the funky distance math was so interesting lol
-
Small correction at 19:40 (sorry, couldn't help myself) If a^2 > b^2, then it means that abs(a) > abs(b). Imagine for example a = -3, and b = 2. Then (-3)^2 = 9 > 2^2 = 4, but -3 < 2, so small problem there. This isn't an issue for the game though, as both a and b will be distances, and they can't be negative.
-
Give him enough time and bro will build a PS5
-
You could try pushing different blocks underneath the noteblocks with pistons as instruments get stored as differrent block states as well and get more available textures that way
-
thanks sloimy
-
You madlad, you did it. Can't wait to see the actual video
-
if you ever wanted to create a more robust screen, I would recommend using a pack that textures based on the amount of a certain item in a shulker
-
23:44 lol the mark rober music kicking in
-
I feel like the ghost eyes pointing in the right direction is something really important in judging where a ghost is going. Maybe it would be possible to overlay the ghost base texture + an eye direction texture, which would only require 8 textures compared to 16 if you combine them.
