[QUOTE=Agent Fedora;33808969][t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29790304/mcccc.png[/t] Interesting.[/QUOTE] It's not working for me either.
I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 btw.
Maybe it's because I'm using Java 7 prereleases.

This would be amazing if it could be ported to mobile java i'd pay for it.
It launches when I run it, but then it just displays a white screen and nothing else.
Working on recreating this for android, with saving and building
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;33809329]Working on recreating this for android, with saving and building[/QUOTE] Recreate it for nokia too.
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;33809329]Working on recreating this for android, with saving and building[/QUOTE] I'd love you if you made it for iOS as well. But that's never going to happen.
I'm trying to contact notch, to see if he can get me some sort of license so i can use his artwork etc..
only complaint is on how fucking unoriginal, uncreative it is.
I watched the livestream where he coded this, say what you want about the man but Notch is VERY good at coding.
[QUOTE=Egonny;33810798]I watched the livestream where he coded this, say what you want about the man but Notch is VERY good at coding.[/QUOTE] I'm still amazed at how fast he is. The resulting code isn't the prettiest, most elegant code, but that's probably the case for most LD games.
[QUOTE=Robber;33810935]I'm still amazed at how fast he is. The resulting code isn't the prettiest, most elegant code, but that's probably the case for most LD games.[/QUOTE] That's probably how he codes all the time then, which would explain why alot of the crap in Minecraft isn't finished. "Okay, time to add villages. Aaaaaaand GO! C'mon, only 24 hours to add villages!"
Oh look, it's Minecraft. Again. :geno: [editline]20th December 2011[/editline] Notch's design process for the Ludum Dare series really annoys me, because all he does nowadays is make speed through everything without any polish. For him, it's stopped being "look what I can make in 48 hours!" and started becoming "look how fast I can make stuff in 48 hours!" and that's just not what the contest is about.
Have this playing in the background while you play. Adds to the ambiance. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b6aUiFA_Jg[/media]
Some one needs to make a mod that allows you to place stone.
Still no use for cloth. I have about 2 million of them.
[QUOTE=Empty_Shadow;33813694]Still no use for cloth. I have about 2 million of them.[/QUOTE] You don't get armor later on? The zombies in the mines have armor. [editline]20th December 2011[/editline] also why do lantern use slime instead of coal?
No armor.
Think of slime lanterns as burning it like oil. Also if you open inventory with a lifted benchtype item, you'll stash it back in your inventory. Very useful for relocating.
I added saving: [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1106779/Minicraft/Minicraft.jar]Download[/url] [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1106779/Minicraft/source.zip]Source[/url] Note: It's a quick and dirty solution and therefore not very polished, but I might even fix a few bugs if you report them. Edit: Oh shit, I forgot to tell you: I is the save button :v:
Fuck this shit. I wanted to play but each time I manage to get stone stuff sorted, I venture into the cave, I die. Each and every time. I don't even have time to orientate myself thanks to the poor lighting and insane enemy damage. Oh and need an upgradable energy bar. The consumption rate is far too high.
Ug, I really want to save my current game for another day.
notch should put this as a video game you can craft in minecraft kind of like the video games in animal crossing i guess. god a mix between animal crossing and minecraft would be fucking awesome and here i am off to play animal crossing again

What, you make a loss on seeds when growing wheat? [editline]20th December 2011[/editline] And the only place where slimes spawn in my home is on my wheat patch!
[QUOTE=Egonny;33810798]I watched the livestream where he coded this, say what you want about the man but Notch is VERY good at coding.[/QUOTE] Yep, watched him code Metagun last year. When he got a green square bleeding tiny red dots, everyone watching livestream came.
Notch ISN'T very good at coding, though. He jumps through hoops to do otherwise simple things, like display text across the screen in a certain manner. His code is really unoptimized, which is not bad for a game like Minecraft or (ugh) Minicraft but if Notch were making a full game with a story and all that, he'd get lost in his own code trying to sort things out.
