I'd just like to point out that Minecraft's code is absolutely horrible from an algorithmic standpoint. On performance/speed and code quality metrics, Minecraft is a statistical fluke.
- jamesgeck0 15y agoIsn't there a lot of awful video game code around? Optimization is usually delayed until the end of a project, and crunch time is a norm at most AAA game developers.
- 5hoom 15y agoYet by any other conceivable metric it is a huge success. I love good code & elegant design, but it doesen't beat having a successful product out there. Remember, shipping is a feature ;)
- MostAwesomeDude 15y ago60FPS is also a feature. Not crashing when sent invalid input on the wire is a feature. Being able to support more than 100 concurrent connections without requiring a monstrous top-of-the-line server is a feature. These are all missing from Minecraft. Remember, usability is a feature. >:3
