I've now seen people using red-stuff and torches to make logic gates - I guess pretty much anything can be built with enough time

Redstone.
And yeah, I do now remember someone was asking a while ago if a turing machine was possible, which I think it is - so with enough time, space, and resources anything can be emulated.
Of course, input and output methods are limited, and running anything complicated inside a game inside a Java VM inside an OS is not going to give the greatest performance.
But it's still cool how this "simple" stuff can allow such complexity.

Beta 1.2 is out.
Bastard!
I need to eat food, digest it, then go sleep. Preferably all achieved before 1am, so I can get enough sleep combined with being up at a decent time.
But I also want to go find the water mob, the new trees, and discover what the new recipes might be.
:(
I hate you Notch! :@

That's pretty damn cool :D
You might want to remove all the dirt/grass tiles round your crops to stop wildlife spawning and trampling them.

All this has reminded me "The Incredible Machine" I used to play in 1995. So I found the disc ( :Y ) and reinstalled it :-
I tried to make a random number generator using balls and ray guns, but I ran out of parts :(
Click for full sized.

Yeah took me a while to work out how the fuck the animals were getting into my farm.
I seem to always build my house as a bunch of raised islands connected by bridges. Which no doubt says something about my personality. That I am a dick perhaps. A dick surrounded by a cactus-wall.
I thought I'd kinda tired of this game for a while but I got lost in it again last night. I love exploring.

Anyone played it in 3D mode?
Wondering if it's worth getting some glasses off eBay....

Sounds fun, think I'll order some glasses then. They're only a couple of quid.
Just hope I can finish my new castle before they turn up :D

When can we have a Teh Mine? So far I have become an expert at tunneling rabbit holes through mountains. I'm going to have to build something soon....

Like that. :)
Although, maybe we should kick off another thread for people to post their current favourite Minecraft construction?
(not to kill this one, just to have a dedicated 'pictures' place for people that want to look)

Heh, that's a decent place to build a house. My Guest House is built into a hill just like that. And all the stone from hollowing it out has been rather helpful in building my castle.
And I know I don't need a reason to post pics, I was just trying to keep a semblance of flow to the thread :C
