Minecraft 2D Java - Second Try

During a 15 hour drive back home from Georgia, I thought it'd be cool to make a good gui engine in java. It sports a custom sprite based font, colored text, buttons, and customizable button actions.

After making the GUI, I started a simple movement engine, which I hope to make into a better minecraft 2d game than my last.

Hey. This might be a little late to ask but. How did you manage to get the sprite font? I've been struggling to use a custom made font instead of windows built-in fonts (eg Arial, Courier, etc)

@ShredderSan

I have a spritesheet containing all the characters. I wrote a method for a class called "ImageLabel", that when supplied with a string it will check each character in the string, and compares it where it should be on the sprite sheet. When it finds the letter, I use the g.drawImage() method to draw just that section of the sheet.

@FiloJacobbb That's what I meant. This is a fun project, but make it something original...

[FiloJacobbb]

@ThinBear4 still nope

@kennytheamazing ...... its a minecraft remake, what is he going to use?

[kennytheamazing]

this is pretty neat, but you shouldn't be using minecraft's name or textures.

@uJelley ok maybe they have somethings in common.... i just hate all the minecraft DIEHARD fans who dont accept any games with the same concept as minecraft...

why cant other people make a game with the same concept as minecraft?

if its a good idea why leave it just to that one game...

Minecraft should be a genre not a game!

@ZeBrainkrieg ohhh 2 biomes :o wow :L the whole concept and style of the game is exactly the same, and cool, mine craft got big you could say and made adjustments, infiniminer doesn't even come into the question, and notch had plan for potions ages ago, like alpha period :L and wow were talking about mine craft and terraria not all of these other games... just saying
