Minecraft Forums

Since you guys like challenges, I propose another one: a code golfing challenge.

The challenge is simple.
Create a ModPE Script under 140 characters that does something useful.
(For bonus lulz, tweet it)

Rules
- Must be under 140 characters, counted with Twitter character count rules. Line breaks count as one character.
- Less characters to accomplish the same function is better.
- JS minifiers are fair game.
- At a minimum, scripts must run in the latest Beta version of BlockLauncher.
- If you manage it, you get bragging rights and a tiny picture of a cookie to put in your signature
- If you want to base your script off one of these ideas, you must ask the author for permission unless they say so otherwise in their post
- Tweeting your script is optional.

Note to beginners: DO NOT LEARN FROM THESE SCRIPTS. They are written with space, not readability in mind, and thus will not exhibit good programming practices.

Submissions
Format

Here's mine:

GameMode changer: 79 characters.
/gamemode 1
/gamemode 0

function procCmd(a){a=a.split(" ");a[0]=="gamemode"?Level.setGameMode(a[1]):0}

Data spanner: 81 characters.
Tap on any block with an iron sword to increment its data value. Use it to quickly change wool color, spin bed blocks around, etc.

function useItem(x,y,z,i,B){i==267?setTile(x,y,z,b,Level.getData(x,y,z)+1&15):0}

Tweet: https://twitter.com/zhuowei/status/393223458189877248

Spheres: 133 characters.
Generates spheres with radius 10 metres when you try to place a block.

r=10;function useItem(x,y,z,i){for(a=-r;a<r;a++){for(b=-r;b<r;b++){for(c=-r;c<r;c++){c*c+b*b+a*a<=r*r?setTile(x+a,y+b+r,z+c,i):0}}}}

More Pigmen!
131 Characters

Pigmen spawn 2x more as they normally do!
= More BUDDER!

Just a quick simple mod

function entityAddedHook(e)
{
if(Entity.getEntityTypeId(e)==36)
{
spawnPigZombie(Entity.getX(e),Entity.getY(e),Entity.getZ(e));
}
}

First entry!

Block ID reader: tap iron sword on block to see block ID.
63 characters.
Made for sbd01's request.

function useItem(x,y,z,i,B){i==267&&clientMessage("ID: " + B)}

Untested; But I think it will work.

Characters: 115

Use: Spawns lava above you.

Code:

function useItem(x,y,z,itemId,blockId,side)
{if(itemId==280)
{setTile(getPlayerX(),getPlayerY+2,getPlayerZ(),11);}}

flaming budder sword
characters: 32 code:

function attackHook(attacker,victim){if(Player.getCarriedItem()==283)Entity.setFireTicks(victim,5)};

easy as pie (:

If you want to submit a script, follow the format above, and reply with your short script.

Will do, seems like a fun challenge, is there like winners? xD

Ahah awesome, also unrelated to the 50 character challenge for toaster messages (from ModPE) to stay up constantly?

Awesome! here's your miniature cookie:

(I really need to generate the achievement banner, don't I?)
(You can shorten that script further, you know)

Added. This can be a lot shorter, though.

By the way: I might start moving these to a GitHub gist instead, since the Forum keeps converting & to &.

Where is the download link for block id tester mod??

No download links yet - just select the code, copy, open up BlockLauncher, and select Import from Clipboard.
