Thoughts on the further development of Haven & Hearth? Feel free to opine!

Stand alone "simulator"

Postby Zirikana » Mon Jan 31, 2011 4:18 am

I'm not really a programmer, but it seems like it would be very easy to make a sort of desktop haven "simulator" in java, so that you could design and refine your ideas for constructions before actually building it in the "real" world. Right?

It could use the same interface as the game, but you'd just start with a blank slate on a very small "mini" world, where you had free reign to place and move any objects you want, and change the floor tiles, etc. etc. Perhaps a cave mode could be included too without too much trouble? I've never really looked at the source code, but it seems like this should be possible.

(Basically, what i'm trying to politely say is that i'd appreciate it if someone did this, because it's been about ten years since i last used java and I don't think i'm up to writing something like this myself :lol:)

I'd probably spend all of my time in that! :D

If i could help, i would, but i'm about as useless as a brick when it comes to java.

That said, the finished product is something that i would like to see.

But isn't the bulk of the code held on the server, not the client?
