Re: Looking for a good C++ compiler

I've always been a fan of MinGW for CodeBlocks, namely due to me being able to just install it on an external hard drive and work wherever.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Dinnerbone finally seems to be gaining some grasp on game design. While his features are still a bit iffy, he genuinely seems to want to add more challenge back into the game.

For the first time in a LONG time I will say this: I'm looking forward to the next snapshot.

I shot Jens a message, although I doubt he'll read it, basically saying "Minecraft has been around for 4 years. If horses fit into the game, we would have seen them a long time ago. Besides, you just wasted god knows how long making pigs a useful method of transportation. Why nullify that work ...

Re: Any reason for no torchlight?

It's been done before in AdventureCraft and the Dynamic Lights mod, and it looks pretty nice. However, these effects are purely aesthetic. They have no effects on the actual light levels of the world around it. Meaning that you can carry around a torch, it will light the area, but the game will stil...

Re: Bets on Mojang adding meteors

For your consideration, I give you bats! Obviously useful is not a factor in adding game content for Mojang. If I were the game designer considering meteors, I'd consider making them provide a unique and useful resource unobtainable in any other way. Usefulness may not be a factor, but the damage i...

Re: Bets on Mojang adding meteors

Meteors would be too difficult to pull off. Maybe if it was just a random celestial event that didn't make any effect on the world it'd work. The question is what would it add? Even if they did an event which made craters, the meteor, and they did it well, you've just got a fucking ball of rock and ...

I'm not a rich man, so I can't donate a lot. However the money is going to a good cause, so I dumped the money I had on my side paypal.

My honest hope is that RTH gets you enough money(donations and/or sales) to buy a 13-foot tall battle mech and walk in beer cooler.
