XNA Terraria Clone Test #2

Added some collision. Character movement is still very primitive. Jumping sucks ;)
Still have some cases left to add to the tile rendering engine.
Pretty sure when I start the graphics I'm gonna shoot for alien stuff.

Oh, and this runs on WP7 ;) and the finished game will target Windows, Xbox, WP7, and hopefully Mac with Mono!

@Pr3fixProducts what is Terraria a clone of?

[t0rk3y]

Hey, this looks nice. Do you think you can give me the source code to your debug charts? They look really nice and would be extremely useful in my xna project.

@t0rk3y I used Gearset from The Complot

Nice work! How long did this take you?

[mattbettcher]

@jw3st0n This version is around 12 hours, but there were a few versions before it each around 6 hours. That time includes figuring out how to create a tile engine with massive worlds that take up a lot less memory then Terraria. Terraria uses around 350MB for a small world. I only get 90MB on WP7.

Also all coding was done without referencing or even looking at the leaked Terraria source code. This code is 100% original.

@mattbettcher The reason Terraria takes up so much memory is because it was poorly coded. Terraria could reduce memory requirements by as much as 50%, if not more.
