Console Minecraft 1.0.0

Description

This is Console Minecraft. It is a C++ console application where you can do various Minecraft inspired things. All of it follows the real Minecraft logic such as tick mechanics, dailylight cycle, and etc. Has only a few features at the moment but I will definitely be adding more in the future!

Commands/Features

The app fully follows Minecrafts day/night system, that being 24,000 ticks for one whole minecraft day with a tick happening every .05 seconds. It follows Minecraft Bedrock logic which means one game tick, ticks 3 blocks (randomTickSpeed).

Below are the current commands you can do in the app:

• G - Place Grass: Click anywhere to place the one grass block. If the grass is ticked, it will spread to a nearby dirt block if applicable.
• M - Place Mycelium: Same logic as grass.
• W - Place Wheat: This will place a whole wheat field. Start with clicking where you want the top left of your field to be, then click where you want the bottom right part to be. Follows the logic of dry wheat (non hydrated soil).
• Up/Down Keys - Change Speed: This will change randomTickSpeed by multiples of 5 to increase the speed of the game.
• Q - Closes the game.

(Here is a small gif of me placing a wheat field, placing a few blocks of grass, then speeding up time to make the field grow and the grass spread.)

Running the App

Download all the code, navigate to the directory and type "make brun". This will compile all the files and run the program. You will most likely have to download ncurses if you haven't already. Currently only works on Mac because of the Usleep function. Can easily be swapped out however.
