Minicraft (Python Port)
A downloadable game for Windows
About the Game
Play the 2011 classic in a completely new way! This is a faithful port of Minicraft, the iconic 2D game created by Notch for Ludum Dare 22.
Every mechanic, from world generation to the final battle with the Air Wizard, has been meticulously rewritten from scratch in Python. This version runs on my own engine built directly on top of the SDL2 wrapper.
Features
- Classic Gameplay: Mine, craft, and survive just like in the original.
- Custom Engine: Powered by PYSDL2.
- True to the Original: Experience the game exactly as it was intended, but in a fresh environment
Credits & Sources
This project wouldn't be possible without the amazing open-source community! Here are the main resources and repositories used to bring this port to life:
- Original Game & Concept: Minicraft created by Markus "Notch" Persson for Ludum Dare 22.
- Code Reference & Logic: Entity behaviors and the lighting system were adapted directly from the original Minicraft source code.
- Textures & Audio: Sourced from the Minicraft+ community project. Some of the textures were manually modified and edited by me to faithfully restore their classic, original appearance!
⚠️ Windows Warning:
Windows Defender might pop up with an "Unknown Publisher" warning when you open the game. This is normal for indie projects compiled with Nuitka, since I don't have a paid developer license to sign the files. The game is 100% safe, but if you want to be absolutely sure, feel free to upload the files to VirusTotal to check them yourself before running!
