3D Engine​

  • ✅ Implemented 2D map functionality.

    1. ✅ Scale calculations are correct.
    2. ❌⚠️ Add detail rendering to show block details.
    3. ✅ Added more info output to Dialog.
    4. ✅ Added reset button in Dialog to return to initial state.
    5. ✅ Update logic adjusted — refresh only after player movement.

  • ✅ Bug fixes and legacy issue handling.

    1. ✅⚠️ Bug when crossing blocks with height difference — fall calculation incorrect, need to fix player’s view height.
    2. ✅ Separated IO operations, added Pages for later extension.
    3. ✅ Fixed missing Player state update when crossing blocks with zero height difference.
    4. ✅ Fixed Module not showing after block reload.
    5. ✅ Corrected timing of System’s launch event trigger.
    6. ✅ Added Player info page to view user data.
    7. ✅ Adjusted Player initial standing height based on block.

  • ✅ Display optimization.

    1. ✅ Added shadow support and tested effect — issues remain, requires full setup.
    2. ❌ Added lighting support and tested display effect.
    3. ✅ Added state.js to monitor performance changes.
    4. ✅ Performance test by extending player’s field — lags when set to 5, framerate cannot sustain 60.
    5. ✅ UI optimization — collapsible menu, adjusted color tone.

  • ✅ Trigger lifecycle optimization.

    1. ❌ Implement abord function structure — logic set up, need to call abord method.
    2. ❌ Implement recover function structure — logic set up, need to call recover method.
    3. ❌ Refactor logic to find suitable execution points.
    4. ✅ Game mode loads correctly based on parameters.
    5. ✅ Added teleport function to transfer/set player’s starting position.
    6. ✅ Prepared Game mode entry button — UI optimized for easier access.

2025.8.15–2025.8.21​

Promotion (Content & Video)​

  • ❌ Vlog Episode 6 (2025.8.21) to review prior work — not uploaded to YouTube yet. Watch the video
  • ❌ Upload Septopus vlog videos for browsing on the homepage.
  • ✅ Updated July records on the website, embedding YouTube videos into Markdown files.

3D Engine​

  • ✅ Implemented Player look up/down functionality, coordinate transformation works.

  • ✅ Code optimization for performance and execution logic.

    1. ✅ Fixed module loading logic to prevent duplicate loads causing performance issues.
    2. ✅ Improved block reload execution logic to reduce refreshes and duplicate data requests.
    3. ✅ Added code comments to key components for easier later development.

  • ✅ Game mode advanced development.

    1. ❌🛑 Implement region loading with parameter restrictions.
    2. ❌🛑 2D map draws normally, but only within game region.
    3. ✅ Simulated game config data, triggers Game mode when entering block.
    4. ✅ Game logic executes from on-chain config, interacting with game server.
    5. ✅ Game mode UI implemented — after confirming on-chain data, button appears to enter game.

  • ✅ Bug fixes and legacy issue handling.

    1. ❌ Fall calculation bug when crossing blocks with height differences.
    2. ✅ Fixed 2D map mouse panning issue.
    3. ✅ Implemented zoom control on 2D map’s right side.
    4. ✅ Zoom ratio displays correctly on 2D map.
    5. ✅ Synced player position with 2D map — cleared frame sync function after exit to avoid errors.
    6. ✅ Unified block loading methods: removed VBW.prepair, kept only VBW.load.
