If you are a Github addict, you can also submit an issue here .
I build stuffs on Minecraft and Magicavoxel, is it possible to import them into Cubzh?
We do actually use Magicavoxel a lot internally to design assets. An import button is available in the item editor to import .vox files. As for Minecraft, you can use this plugin on your Java server to export world portions into .vox files.
Is it possible to code my own Cubzh World?
You can build fun games in just a few hours using the embedded code editor. You can also create your own items using the voxel editor, or use assets published by other artists in the community.
What programming language does Cubzh use?
In Cubzh, games are written in Lua . It's very easy to learn, you can find tutorials and game sample codes on the documentation
Is Cubzh open-source?
We open-sourced a few components and will keep open-sourcing more along the way. You can check our public repositories on Github .
Most things that we use to build the application are still close source though currently.
What engine does Cubzh run on?
Our own inhouse engine, written in C/C++, and using bgfx for rendering.
Is it possible to interact with external services?
There’s going to be a way to communicate with external services. We built this a while ago: https://github.com/docker/dockercraft (在新标签页中打开) . We want the same kind of things to be possible in Cubzh.
Any plans on porting to the web?
Yes, we decided to focus first on native applications for iOS, Android, Windows & Mac. Mainly because we want to get some visibility from the different app stores.
But yes, we're supporting Wasm as a build and Cubzh runs on web browsers.
