Dang, I was sleeping the entire time this sh'bam went on...

Well, happy birthday anyway DJ.
That or I never noticed this topic before, .

Um, I didn't quite understand what you meant by the first paragraph... But by the second one, it already does that. That is the controls right now. "Move by sliding anywhere on the screen, except HUD"

What I meant (a little more clearly), was, The "cursor" stays in the middle of the screen while you move the screen by sliding the screen. But instead of touching ships, you line the cursor over them and control them with the menu in the HUD.

For example: You haven't got any ships selected. You move the cursor over a ship and select him with the button on the bottom left signifying "select". You then move the cursor away from the ship (move the view cause the cursor never really moves) and move it to where you want it and then press the move or attack button.

I'll post the next video explaining this.

Update: so I got my computer back, and have been working on this some more. I just made a menu screen but I need to know what you guys think.
So here:

Sorry I haven't posted any progress, I haven't had my computer in weeks.

Once I get it back I'll have a huge update so be expecting it.

I am excited for 0x10c!

Oh and btw, modding minecraft would be MUCH harder in C++. Either on the community or on the mojang devs. Right now, minecraft is broken up into a series of classes inside the jar. Because of this, you can simply swap some out with new ones. If it was in C++, it would be one big block of code, with no such ability. Modding it directly would be nearly impossible, so the mojang devs would have to build in a new system like the Elder Scrolls games use, where you have an external set of files it can load in and integrate with the game. VERY COMPLICATED.

Either that or they release the source, which they don't look like they plan on doing for a long, long time.

Actually, in C++ you CAN actually organize the classes into separate files that can be switched in and out. You just have to set up your code to function with that properly . They would have to change a lot of their code, but if they did what I just mentioned, they would keep the "classes having files" structure of the game. and would make modding the game almost as easy as Java. The game would not have to be "one big block of code" if they did this. But it isn't commonly done in C++, and would take a little extra time. Since Mojang seems to be very lazy (Most of the time), they probably "wouldn't find it feasible" and just stick with Java anyway.

Which kinda sucks because I think the game would be soooo much better in C++.

Oh, and I'm also excited for 0x10c , but I think I already said that...

On the Cemetech server, Fluf8x (my brother) and I (Fluffy8x) built this stadium.

I like it !

Oh ok I thought he reconsidered, since we still see Minecraft updates every now and then. I also thought that he was working on the PC version in solo.

Nah! Notch is working on 0x10c, which frankly, is the coolest thing I've seen so far. As far as pc minecraft Jeb and the crew are still making updates.
