block game's first crafting gameplay loop is in!

okay i've modelled and pixelled bushes that aren't just leaf blocks and yeah, this is looking nice and lush now! you can also walk through bushes as requested, and you can still break them for sticks for torches

well would ya look at that, we've got a whole little crafting gameplay loop going. bash together flint and a stick to make an axe, use axe to break bark blocks, use the axe on the blocks to create wood, use the axe on the wood to create sticks, combine sticks with flamereed to create torches, then go and light up a cave :D

finally got to make a new block: rough planks! you get these by using an axe to cut bark blocks into rough wood and then using rough wood on itself to craft the rough planks (consuming 2 pieces of wood in the process)

@eniko If you want I can draft you a whole semi-realistic tree that starts with sticks and stones and ends up with plasma guns and giant Mechas 😜

got tired of tiny and off-center item icons so i spent some time in the icon renderer to add auto scaling and centering for every item in the game

also wow i have more items than fit in my hotbar already. i couldn't show torches cause i don't have a proper inventory other than the hotbar and they wouldn't fit lol

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

not the most exciting video ever but i've now done the necessary work so you can move items around your inventory and split stacks in block game

implemented the renderer for item drops in block game. added an outline because i didn't wanna have to deal with alpha sorting these, but pure alpha testing looked kinda pants. pretty happy with how this looks though

@eniko Also better for color blind people 👍

i managed to get drops done in the same day \o/ had to improve the physics so things accelerate and decelerate smoothly for the drops to move sideways, so now the player moves smoother, too. really happy with how this turned out
