Minecraft 2D for your Nspire

You might want to sit down for this one. Go ahead, pull up a chair. Are you sitting? Okay, good.

Earlier this year, Jens Kolbinger made the news when he released Bomberman Rush, a game that is still on my TI-Nspire to this day. Apparently, that was just a sneak peek at the level of game that was in store for our calcs. Jens has been diligently working in Lua to bring us Minecraft 2D, a full-fledged clone of the game that has taken the world by storm. There's not much more that I can say about it that Jens hasn't already said himself:

It is a 2D adaptation of the game "Minecraft" for the Nspire and has quite a lot of features yet:

• Break and place Blocks
• Randomly generated world, caves, ores, lakes, trees, flowers and dungeons
• Day/Night cycle
• Survival/Creative Mode (with flying)
• Mobs: pigs, sheeps, chicken, cows, zombies, skeletons and creepers
• Flowing water and lava
• TNT
• Fire
• Bow and arrows
• Farming
• Falling sand
• Inventory with moveable items
• Itembar with selectable item/block
• Tools with all functions of the real Minecraft
• Functioning furnaces, chests, doors, beds, buckets and stairs
• Crafting (without crafting grid)
• Functioning Saplings
• Shadows and Lights
• 5 savegame slots
• 2 graphic modes
• Health and Breath
• Export/Import world with the World Container
• It has the same exploration experience and replay value as the real Minecraft
• It has an innovative import/export function via the clipboard
