new (bi)weekly block game thread cause doors are done! \o/
not only are doors 2 blocks tall now, there's a generic system to create up to 16x16x16 multi-block structures just by specifying the positions and blocks in json
anyway, doors make a huge difference to the game's feel. with doors and tables and such these shacks are starting to feel like real houses

@eniko I don't think I've said this before: Watching along as you build a block game from scratch has done nothing to dissuade me that what you're doing is some sort of powerful magicks 🤩🤯

the json required to define multi-block structures is super simple btw. you just specify the x,y,z coords and the block type for each block. here's the json for a door:
"Structure": {
"0,0,0": "CrudeDoorX",
"0,1,0": "CrudeDoorUpperX"
}i think this could be real nice for modders in the future

added crude fence blocks to block game!
they still have a full block hitbox atm but they sure do make things look nice and cozy :3

figuring out how to implement fence gates in block game has taken a lot more brain power than you'd think it would given i already have doors implemented

added fence gates to block game. they really tie the front yard together, but they also manage to pull double duty as basic windows which is nice

the fun part of fence gates is that what's going on is that the posts flanking the gate come from the gate block itself, not the fence blocks
gates connect to fence blocks, and when they do they superimpose a post onto the fence block, outside its own block space
so the posts on the sides of the gate belong to the gate block, not the actual fence block
kind of a little hack, but it works really well

it's never too early to add quality of life features, so today i added a hold open/closed feature to doors in block game
if you press and hold the alt button (F by default) on a door it will toggle its state until you release the button or get too far away
very convenient for auto closing doors behind you! no pressure plates required
and if the door is already open holding F will keep it closed until you let go of the button
