  Ok then. I guess I'll see if I can find some tutorials. Also, are you saying it doesn't matter what size of tilemap I have?

  How would I divide the world into chunks and find which chunks are around the player? Would I use separate tilemaps for each chunk? Invisible sprites? Also, obviously I could not check every tick to see if the chunks are around the player- that would take the point out of them. How do I find which chunks are around the player? And lastly, like I said earlier, does having a very large number of sprites or tilemap tiles hurt the FPS in any way? Could you please help me with some of these?

  Thanks,

  Give me a Pixel

  About the chunking method:

  If I had a world that was 8640 by 4800 pixels, and a tilemap with tiles that were 8 by 8 pixels, would that work and have high FPS? How can the chunking method be applied to tilemaps for ground? I won't be able to mess with the ground tile in-game (i.e. digging, bombs, or placing blocks), but I will be able to mess with things that are on the ground (i.e. trees, grass, doors) and there will be NPCs. Just wondering if the chunking method would work for a very large layout with small tilemap tiles.

  While looking at that example more, I don't want that many water objects. I have been tinkering around with my example and got a little farther. It works perfectly when you put one block of water down. The problem is when you stack more than one water block.

  It might make more sense if I knew what sprites there were.

  Thanks a lot. I will certainly check it out.

  EDIT:

  I looked at the code. That is way to complex for me! I am not the slightest bit familier with JavaScript or CSS or whatever that is written in. I'm going to need some help converting this into events.

  I am also stumped on the water. I tried to re-create it, but it's not going so well. dropbox.com/s/58h5m76v4dwrbdg/Block%20Water%20Example.c3p

  Can anybody help me with this? I want it to be exactly like or very similar to Terraria's water. I know it probably won't be easy, but that is why I'm here ;). I also found this, but it's very old and the examples don't work. construct.net/en/forum/construct-classic/construct-classic-discussion-37/minecraft-like-lavawater-37554

  Thanks in advance,

  By the way, this is an open thread about Terraria. If anybody has ideas, comments, or other things relating to Terraria, they can post them in this thread.

  Does anybody know how Terraria keeps such good FPS? There are millions of blocks and water tiles,

  countless particles torches, etc. How did they do that? Any ideas? Thanks.

  I can't use the file. It is not a .c3p or .capx.

  Better, but still not completely solved. If the host kills a peer, it works fine for the host. But for the peer, it still says the host was killed by the host.

  Everything now works for the host, but something is off with the peer. When the host kills the peer, for the host it works fine, but for the peer, it says the host killed the host. If the peer kills the host, it works for the host, but for the peer it displays nothing at all.
