- wolfgke 13y agoQuote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zachary_Barth#Infiniminer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zachary_Barth#Infiniminer "The visuals and mechanics of procedural generation and terrain deformation of Minecraft were drawn from Infiniminer. According to Minecraft author Markus Persson, after he discovered Infiniminer, he "decided it was the game he wanted to do". As a result, if one plays Infiniminer, one can note that the visuals of blocky graphics and carving out blocks as a miner are practically identical." So Minecraft probably is more than an Infiniminer clone.
- Smudge 13y agoYou forgot to include the bit about a bad citation: > "[not in citation given]" (Sounds like whoever wrote that "practically identical" bit may have had an agenda.) The visuals were certainly drawn from Infiniminer. But that's about as far as the similarities go -- Minecraft is ultimately a very different game.
