Current features include: 1 Element (Dirt) Text-based backpack Mining and replacement of blocks Full movement system TNT (. key) Super TNT (. and Shift) Planned features include: 25-50 elements Monsters Crafting Vehicles Crafting using yourself to create different characters Water And more...

    If you have Python and Pygame installed, you should just be able to double-click mechanic.py.  If you are having trouble, email me - defensoft at gmail dot com.

    Hmm, I can't get it to work due to it asking for a savefile on the start. How do I start a new game?

    Looks great, nice job. Would you mind if I used the source code to help me make a 2d plat-former? with a level editor
