Today's project: moving Mindcraft to Lua. Entirely. Because the C implementation of it is split into several parts across several files, making it a royal pain to modify.

The first thing I notice: there is still a TON of magic in T2 that's stuck in the compiled part of the code.

So begins the greater project... Moving as much of this stuff as I can to Lua scripts, and removing the functionality from the compiled part of the code.

This is going to take a long time.

Sounds like a good project to take on -- and long overdue!

Have you been keeping up with the unofficial 2.3.X maintaining thread on the forums?

Well, I just set up a Gitorious account for the project. Let's see where this goes...

That didn't work too well. Probably because I've never used a version control system before. Let's try again... Without masquerading as the wrong guy this time. Sorry about that AnonymousHero.

Okay got it, I think. I lost AnonymousHero's commit history (was I supposed to do that?), but at least I'm not falsely presenting myself as him any more.

And in belated answer... Yes I am. Actually now seemed like a good time to set this thing up because not much has been happening with it lately.
Things in it break REALLY easily.)
