Well it wouldn't have to be in grayscale at all.
It could be done just with different looking patterns for blocks.

Random calculation...
64 by 64 by 8 map run from ram?
That would be 8192 bytes if each block took 2 bits for a very simple version.

Even if a working minecraft style engine was created, there just isn't enough memory to have a world large enough to be fun.

Yeah, you could have it function like RuneScape, which loads a 104x104 tile area and as you move too close to the edge of the visible area, it reloads the next 104x104 area (centered at you). That way it isn't keeping track of ALL objects and players, etc, all at the same time.

Exactly what I was thinking :) plus, it doesn't really have to be THAT big to have fun :P 500x50 would be awesome.

Someone should also try those block stacking type physics with rotation.  Hard but awesome.  :D

Someone could use the number keys for a nice game of whack-a-mole.
Also, that would be a good game for pre-rendered 3d.  ;)

I have a nice Whack-A-Mole that I made in TI Basic sometime 2.25 years ago.

If anyone tries it, let me know what you think. :)

I'm too lazy to say *bump* so instead I quote myself and give a thorough response

Anyways, since I won't finish UCTI in time for the contest I'm gonna probably make another attempt at making a 2D minecraft clone instead of getting further on UCTI, in which the bugs have bitten me half to death.
