Lol I meant what is the game supposed to be?
SmileBASIC is a 3DS application which lets you program in BASIC on your 3DS! It gives you the tools to create games using sprites, backgrounds, music, and sound effects. You can also upload your creations to the SmileBASIC servers so that other people can download your programs! SmileBASIC was created by SmileBoom; check out their website for more information: smilebasic.com
what is the game you are specifically coding that is shown in that video about or what will it have in it, wha is the main parts and such?

Water is a transparent and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms. Its chemical formula is H2O, meaning that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Strictly speaking, water refers to the liquid state of a substance that prevails at standard ambient temperature and pressure; but it often refers also to its solid state (ice) or its gaseous state (steam or water vapor). It also occurs in nature as snow, glaciers, ice packs and icebergs, clouds, fog, dew, aquifers, and atmospheric humidity.

Programming StrengthFirst YearMy account is over 1 year oldWebsitewait a minute... i see another game with similar water machanics, the game petitworld also has flowing water! -of course this says nothing-
anyways but i just wanted to know who thinks what for water in my terraria like game, i kind of forgot about it am now am here to wonder "wait how am i going to make this?", so ive come here to ask what you guys thought about how i should make it or what i should use.
my original thought was to make it stationary and just not let move or not let you break blocks under it but i think that might look a bit dumb idk, i would LOVE to make nice terraria flowing water that spills out but i just dont know how i would handle that with everything

#265✎ 144312Me21AdminSyntax HighlighterReceived for creating the code syntax highlighter on SBSNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfSecond YearMy account is over 2 years oldWebsiteWhat I would do is something like:
-have 8 or 16 or something different water tiles, one for each level of water you want.
-every so often, check each water tile
-if there's an empty space or water tile below it, fill the bottom tile and drain the upper tile (so, a 3/8 filled water tile above a 7/8 tile becomes a 2/8 above a 8/8 (full) tile)
-if there's another water tile or empty space next to it, set both to the average level (so, a 3 next to 5 becomes 4 and 4, or 6 next to air becomes 3 and 3)
-if the average isn't a whole number (say, a 5 was next to a 2), you have a few options:
--round up (4 and 4). This is what terraria does, and it causes some water to be duplicated.
--round down (3 and 3). This will cause water to gradually disappear as it flows.
--spread the extra (4 and 3). Non moving water won't be perfectly flat, but it will not create or destroy water.

Programming StrengthFirst YearMy account is over 1 year oldWebsitehmm yeah that sounds good (and i understand i think yeah), so i could just make a lot of water tiles for each level yeah (8 to be exact) if its os and so ong then dissipate it so and so blocks... huh that could work with some work.. ill keep thinking of this and uh try making it or something

after long and hard work I've got the 1000x1000 map working again though im working on the tiles mostly, ive now added all the terrains but am finishing adding smoothing for the jungle.
for the contest because collision is not done yet i will probably just not have it added, unless i figure it out in the next two days but i havent had much luck, though i am working on it, ive been working on adding things to the world generator but i have not re-added the trees yet because i cant seem to decide on how i want them to look and ive been working on the land types, so after i finish the jungle (which should take about 15-20 mins when i have the time) then ill make some type of tree sprites i think. i added caves but they wont be smoothed in this version i think because the other things are more important right now.
I GOT A MOUSE FROM MY UNCLE FOR CHRISTMAS, SO YAY.
now like i said when i listed things i wanted to have in it they are very unlikely to be in this first version so yeah ill try to add a few.
pictures of the current look will be here in a minute, (when i go get my phone and get it to work)

I also need to learn more about SmileBASIC in general, so I can finally get started on something good (hopefully).

so yesterday i *finally* got trees up and running, i only added the grass biome one because i onyl had that sprite at the time, now i have the snow biome sprites and am ready to add it (just have to type in some code an 9 sets of numbers), but i made some random ground things such as a little flower thingy and some random grass sprites and it turned out very nice actually, i thought it would not work to place them on my first try but it worked really well and nothing was wrong
Trees and grass stuff
so im still hoping to get collision up an running but its looking slim as i have had terrible luck doing it.
if anyone cares enough ill enter it for the contest even without collision, otherwise ill keep working on it to add stuff whenever i get collision working

Remember to add the "Programming Contest" category for it to count as a submission.
Thank you :).

Programming StrengthFirst YearMy account is over 1 year oldWebsiteso with the amazing help of Nathaniel i got my collision up and running *YAY!!* and i added a small thing to it that makes you climb up the hills so you dont have to jump every tile and can just walk *another yay!!*
so ill be releasing whatever i have tomorrow.
ill add whatever i can but yeah moving around and jumping is basically it aside from the generation
EDIT: With the help of chicken i got the breaking of blocks done, ill just need to fine tune it and add some stuff to make it nice but yeah going very well so far
