My computer uses an Intel integrated GPU which doesn't support the current minimum OpenGL 1.4 to run Mincraft on my computer directly so the only means of which I am currently able to play Minecraft is on my browser.
I hope that in the future I will be able to play Minecraft right on my computer offline.
DirectX support instead - sligghtly of topic but not makeing a new thread for it.
That goes against some of Notch's Ideological views.
(Well I can't say for sure, but he sure seems to be a supporter of Open Source)
So what your basicly saying is that once our paypal payment goes thru im entilted to the full source code of minecraft and can decompile and recompile as and distribute as i see fit as long as I dont make profits with out consent :smile.gif:
well thats what your saying if by open source u also mean GPL

Notch hasn't made any promises but has alluded to the possibility of releasing the source under GPL or something similar if and when he gets tired of developing the game. But, this isn't going to happen for quite a while and definitely not until the game goes gold.

The epitome of optimistic thinking is when you hear some guy has tried to hang himself and immediately believe he was only trying to become taller.

To quote his Minecraft.net
Once sales start dying and a minimum time has passed, I will release the game source code as some kind of open source. I'm not very happy with the draconian nature of (L)GPL, nor do I believe the other licenses have much merit other than to boost the egos of the original authors, so I might just possibly release it all as public domain.
I did not say he published it under GPL, just that he seems to support open standards as opposed to the closed ones. You'll notice all of his textures are PNG format. Sound files are OGG I think. He seems to be more with it on principle than actually making his game Open Source. If and when the time comes, it will be very easy for him to do so.
Your mis reading what I wrote, I never said u emplyted it was under GPL. Read it over again a with a little less seriouseness, I was simply makeing a quirky judgement on your post :smile.gif: - relax
saphiredragon89, out of curiosity what Intel graphics chipset do you have?
Intel® 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family
According to a friend of mine, I could install generic drivers that can achieve 1.4 but both he and the Intel website warned it could cause my system to be unstable, and since I can play it in my browser it's not something I'd want to risk. Also considering I'm hardly the only one with integrated cards from Intel wider support is a much more likable option for the community as a whole.
Really? So I guess the game does require higher then OpenGL1.4, my friend was off it seems.... But the point does remain relevant, a broader range of support in the future would be outstanding.

There's an OpenGL Extensions Viewer tool you can download to verify.
And yes, based on what I have read it only supports up to 1.1, stupid Intel!!
