1.20.2 Submitted

Yesterday I submitted 1.20.2 for Microsoft and Amazon, as promised. It usually takes 3-5 days for them to certify it, so 1.20 should be available to update/download sometime before the next weekend.

I submitted both of them practically simultaneously, we’ll see who’s faster this time! If you don’t remember, last time I did it, Amazon won by several hours.

      Google play is alot less laxed but also dangerous. Amazon and windows do certifications to protect its customers from viruses and other harmful things. Google play doesnt so you have no idea if the app you are downloading can harm your device.

        These are rare though the idea of Google play being dangerous in my opinion depends on the discretion of the individual I’ve been on android for about a year now and have never come across an app on Google play that my antivirus checker flagged. Just a thought.

      Lower the fps to 30. You should see a big performance increase.

    So whats next for 1.21?
    Will it be more animals?
    Trains and boats?
    Natives?
    Gold?
    New electric devices?

    I have a question how did you get the LEDs to blink one after another. I haven’t been able to get that to work yet with regular light bulbs. Will it only work with the leds?
    You showed it in a video in one of your earlier posts. It was a trail of lights.

      You use a delay gate in-between lights, and a not gate at the end, that connects back to the systems beginning.

    Hi Kaalus, is there any chance you could add a diode to the electric items? I need the electric in my circuit to flow in one direction.

      you can use a delay gate

      • Posted February 4, 2013 at 23:41 | Permalink | Reply

        No, A better way is to use 2 NOT gates. This will only cause a minimal delay.

        Ive tried that but it didnt work. I need an undelyed signal back through that wire. I sorted it out now with an OR gate thanks for your suggestion though.

    i have found a bug with wires and not gates i made a post in the bug report section of the forums with screenshots of the issue. here is a link to the post: http://survivalcraft.lefora.com/2013/02/04/bug-with-wires-and-not-gates/0/

    • Posted February 4, 2013 at 18:57 | Permalink | Reply

      The spikes react to the rising edge of the signal, not the value of the signal. When you add something to the circuit, it is recalculated, during which there can be transient signal jumps, which will activate the spikes.

        Posted February 4, 2013 at 19:29 | Permalink | Reply

        Im new to circuts and how they work exactly, but shouldnt the spikes lower back down than once the circet has recalculated? Or are you basicly saying that each wire changes the final output of the not gate? Adding the wire has completly reversed how the spikes react now to the diode for me. They are now behaving as if the not gate is not present at all. Sorry for my confusion.

        • Posted February 4, 2013 at 22:37 | Permalink

          The spikes toggle on rising edge of the signal (i.e. at the exact moment when signal goes from 0 to 1). That’s all.
          It’s not true that they are raised when signal is 1 and lowered when it’s 0 – it may look like it for a while but then it will desync and they will stop behaving as expected.

      I think minecraft and survival”raft are intentionally blocky to make the graphics easier to render and to make it easier to build and edit. Would you rather build a house in the game by having to placing every single little brick or a block of bricks.?

  19. Posted February 5, 2013 at 02:56 | Permalink | Reply

    First, a question: How do I upgrade? I purchased 1.19 just a few weeks ago. Do I need to purchase it again or will it be automatically pushed out to my phone? (WP7)

    Second, my daughter has been playing Minecraft Lite on the iPad a lot, and has been really enjoying it. When I bought Survival Craft for my phone, she became really interested in it, and the things I could do. Eventually, she started asking me if she could play it. One day, she said “This is better than Minecraft.” A week or so later, while playing SC, she said “I was wrong when I said this was better than Minecraft. This is even better than better than Minecraft.” I have to concur.

      Hi,

      1.20 is not yet available for WP7, it is currently in certification and should appear in the marketplace in a few days.

      I’m glad your daughter likes it :-)

    Still having Problem with opening game and loading a world.
    Together it takes 15-20 minutes.I Guess its not supposed to be that long.

      Did you try re-installing the game? I run it on a less powerful device ( galaxy ace 2 ) and the game runs fast and smooth. S3 mini should give you a good experience

        Posted February 5, 2013 at 15:52 | Permalink | Reply

        The Game runs great on my Samsung galaxy exhilerate which is lower spec wise than your s3. I wonder if your using too much ram. Try using your task manager to kill all other apps belore you start the game. Im unsure if it will increase your load time but the game is running much smoother on my device with the framerate limiter set to 30, so maybe you can try that also if reinstsiling and freeing up some ram don’t help.

    I have two simple transportation ideas:Bacon/bird on a stick.Dangerous,but faster.We “ride” on a wolf/coyote/bears and direct them using it.

    Pumpkin on a stick.Same with Bacon/bird on a stick,but not dangerous,yet slower.

    These ideas are simple coz you dont need to tame
