Minicraft!

It’s now a couple of hours past half-time, and I decided on the direction for my game. I call it “Minicraft”, since it’s obviously going to get compared to Minecraft. 
Lacking is a bunch of more item interactions, more monsters, sounds, and some kind of game goal.
You can play the latest version here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ld48/ld22/index.html
Comments and feedback would be greatly appreciated! 
Awesome! This is fantastic, are you in the dare or the jam?
I can’t wait till there a game goal and sounds!
Good luck!
your releasing your source code right? i really need to learn better game code
Notch is going to the best, as usual. XD
I’ve already looked at his source last night…was confused then again i don’t do direct image manipulation.
How do you select an option in menu? I can scroll through them, but nothing I press allows me to go into any of the 3 options
Make sure the applet is selected (click on it). With C you can select the chosen option, but at this point only ‘Start Game’ works
You called your game like my fan-game Minecraft!
You pouuvez test it here: http://pyrofoux.olympe-network.com/Projet%20Special/Jeu.html
(He is in Beta)
but how do you play it?
The downloadable version just crashes
Great game for 48 hours of work – watching the streaming was oddly hypnotic. I’d like to be able to modify the code myself so I can learn a bit more about coding games in java, unfortunately I’m having trouble building (is that even correct for java?) the source. Can anyone give me some pointers?
I’m using java version “1.6.0_29″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-11M3527)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)
on OSX Lion.
I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually.
Anyway – great effort Notch!
[...] Minecraft-pappan Markus “Notch” Persson var som bekant med och spelet som han skapade heter Minicraft. Spelet är en lite enkel blandning mellan Minecraft och det första Legend of Zelda-spelet där man kontrollerar en liten snubbe som skall samla saker och döda ondingar. Om man vill spela detta spel så kan man göra det här. [...]
You don’t speak english, eh?

Very slick and surprisingly addictive, actually so addictive that the biggest problem I have with it is that I can’t save my progress
One of the few LD games I’ve played that I’m tempted to get into the source code of and make some “improvements” namely a bigger viewport, savegame feature, and removal of the annoying requirement to always have a workbench with you when you want to make new stuff
If you want save search on Google videos: minicraft save, should be the first one, that says: Minitale: Minicraft – How to Save! – VerbalProcessing. There is a link in the description.

. Its not amazing but its great and I hope you win! Also why are people saying the games not innovative? Its only slightly similar to minecraft, imo theres a big difference and its a completely different and awesome game 
!
This is a brilliant little game Notch. I can just waist hours away on this for because it is so simple and fun. I know this is for the competition but if you were to put this on the app store and on androids I would defiantly buy it.

A few suggestion for the future minitale
1. More mobs! (yes, you said this yourself.)
2. More items! (yes, MORE ITEMS!
3. More bosses. (right now, there’s just the air wizard)
4. Finally, Placeable grass. (there’s placeable sand, but no grass? :O)

[...] As I’ve been learning Java I have taken a look at several source-code examples from previous Ludum Dare competitions (a 48-hour game jam where entrants work solo on a game which must include a theme which is announced at the start of the weekend). Being a big Minecraft fan I’ve spent a lot of time checking out Notch’s recent #LD48 entry ‘minicraft’. [...]
NOTCH PLEASE ENTER THIS LUDUM DARE !!!
