as far as my best project? just look at my sig, it will link you to the forum about my game Scar.
i've been working on the 3d engine (witch is sort'a a upgrade of s65's 3d engine) and trying to get out the kinks and make the engine (witch i will most likely call "Bele 3D") into a usable SDK for scratch.

yes i play minecraft, and have bought it, (and i am VERY good with red stone :p)
Lol, I like redstone also. I even have the concept for a combination-protected steel door thought out.

but i do have a few questions:
1;is it going to be isomeric view?, or side scrolling?
Side scrolling
2;is it going to be infinite map?, or pre-made map?
It will probably have a pre-made map.
and will it be randomly generating?
I don't think so...

Okay, you're in!

I even have the concept for a combination-protected steel door thought out.   so far i've made a oscillator, a compasitor, a transistor, and a extarnal port witch links to the other floors of my house, and a monitoring station with red stone torch indicators for each of them to tell witch ones are on, and thats just in my red stone lab! i also have other things but talking about that would last a LONG time! lol

Side scrolling hmm ok i can under stand that
2;is it going to be infinite map?, or pre-made map?

I don't think so...pre-made just doesn't seem very minecraft to me, i had been thinking about making a minecraft game and i had a basic idea about how to make a randomly generating map using lists but i had planed about doing it in 3d, but if this is gonna be 2d the scripts will be much easier (see down \/)

Okay, you're in!

ok so this is one way about thinking how it might be randomly generating:

ok so say the screen is 5 blocks high by 5 blocks wide, you would need 5 lists for each Y row. the items would be either a 1 or a 0 if it was a 1 there would be a block there, if it was a zero the would be no block there.if you needed to know the block types you would be able to change that to;
0=nothing
1=dirt
2=stone
3=cobble stone ect...
and when you go forward it just adds a entry based on the blocks around it.

going back might be a bit hard, but if needed you could always make 5 more lists.
going up and down would be a bit harder seeing as the lists would all have to mesh but it would also mean more accuracy

i'll try to explain more soon but i got to finish a bit of school, let me know if you understand that and if you have any questions 

if you can find a way to do it with one list go for it, but  how would the game be able to interpret it? if it's a randomly generating map it needs to be able to make new entries and read the data... i guess if you made the entries 3 digits, like first is Y second is X third is TYPE you might be able to do that, but making the game to be able to read that is going to be tricky.

Add some more names to the objects. I know its time consuming, but it's good.
Am I an the collab? Can I join if i'm not?

I'll bump it for you. I hope this game will get done soon!

I dunno if you guys have resolved this already, but there's no point in making it 1s1s if you actually want the game to be playable, without loads of lag.

I'd like to join the collaboration. I would help by fixing any script errors/problems. I'd also help with some tasks that you may need.
