Wow man, you clearly put alot of thought into this one!
Overall, your ideas sound great, my main problem would be the alloy pickaxe being able to mine bedrock. While it would be REALLY cool to have an adminium castle, if we could break the bedrock, we might break a hole into the void, which would suck. How about make it mine a cube area around where you clicked, and instantly gather said cube (would be GREAT for obsidian). Really like the thought of a diamond smelter that repairs your stuff. I think that this could actually work, if someone with modding experience tried to pull it off.
Really nice idea man!
PS: You could call the alloy platinum or titanium (I know they're not alloys, they just sound cool!)
PPS: Maybe even call it crystal!
Well, i recently wondered whether the world in minecraft beta was ever rendering, or if it did have an end, as did the alpha, and if so, how far away is it/ how long does it take to reach? Thanks.
Yah speaking of programs to solve simple problems, in my physics class my teacher said : "If you can make a program to solve all the formulas, you can use it in class" So, a few hours and nested if else statements later, and I had a kinematics calculator. Unfortunately, I did not actually have a computer to use in class, so I tried to convert it onto my graphing calculator but decided that kinematics equations aren't actually that hard.
Lol i feel stupid now, my friend told me about it and he's got all these crazy theories, thought it was a recent find, not that old. But still, if it is man made... Holy ****. Thats crazy history and culture that just might have died, you know?
Off the coast of Japan, researchers have recently discovered a giant pyramid shape structure made out of gigantic stone blocks... UNDERWATER! Now, you may just say, "oh, well water level is rising" but this is around a half mile under the surface. The only reasonable explanation for this is that it was built during the last Ice Age, around 14,000 years ago. This is incredible because that means that either :
a) an advanced civilization with Knowledge of construction and stone carving existed before the Ice Age, and suddenly died, leaving no evidence, so far, other than this pyramid, or
:cool.gif: an alien species, more intelligent visited us and helped us build this massive thing, and possibly survive the Ice Age.
I know what your saying, and I too find it a little far-fetched, but the fact remains that we --humans-- did not have that kind of knowledge or the necessary technology ( ie : levers, pulleys) until relatively recently! So how did they manage to build this without any help, and if they did, why is there no other evidence of their existence??
Does "Blck Holes" realy exist? I generally do not believe until i see concrete evidence...
Yes. They most certainly do.
Though they are not directly observable, due to the fact that they absorb all light (true black) we can observe their effects in space.
Example I : Blocking light
If we look into a region of space lit with stars, and one happens to move 'behind' a black hole, it appears to disappear.
This is because the black hole absorbs the light emitted by the star coming towards us, the observer.
Example II: Gravity
Because of their infinite density, one could say that black holes must also have infinite gravity. While this is true, it only applies to a "small" region of space around the singularity(or center of the black hole). I say "small" because in celestial terms, it is relatively small. Outside this region, known as the Schwarzschild Radius, the gravity of the black hole is equal to a star of the same mass. Knowing this, we can observe black holes with orbiting bodies, just like a solar system.
Example III: Swirling Gases
Again due to their gravity, if a black hole has a partner star in the same system, it's gravity can attract some of the emitted gases produced by the star, creating a swirling gas effect closely resembling the formation of our own galaxy. In fact, by combining Examples II and III, scientists have theorized that at the center of our galaxy is a massive cluster of black holes collectively known as a supermassive black hole.
Yah my friend was obsessed with this topic for like a month, so I did a bunch of research, here's what I found out :
A formula exists for determining the probability of another intelligent life form. It is known as the Drake equation and can be used to calculate the amount of advanced civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy.
It states that :
where:
N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible;
and
R* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy
fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets
ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
fℓ = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point
fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life
fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
L = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space.
even with pessimistic values for the observables, like planets that can support life, there averages out to be approximately 2 civilizations that are trying to communicate at any time, and hundreds more who are not.
Wow that makes it much easier! Thanks a bunch, I tried it and am adding enemies now. I also created a similarly structured database for items and equipment. Looks like I should read up more on C++! Again, thanks, and have 100 for your help!
Yah I've noticed some wierd calculation errors, when I cout your hp and the enemy hp, sometimes it goes up instead of down, etc. If I just set them as plain int, will they still work when I include them, for some reason I thought static meant that they were global

Okay, I've read some Stephen Hawking, so I'll try to explain it in Laymen's terms.
Basically, whenever a mass is placed on space-time, it causes a slight curve, observed as gravity. The heavier an object or body, the greater the curvature. A black hole is a singularity in space-time, or a point with infinite density. This causes a curvature so "deep" that it eventually recedes into a single point, the black hole itself. So if time and space are curved to a point infinitesimally small, the curve would be infinitely long, going on forever, and because the space time is stretched, time appears to move slower. If we keep stretching it, like in a black hole, it can be slowed down to a speed of zero, theoretically. However, the Universe does not want this, and therefore we cannot prove it, but it makes logical sense.
Hey guys, recently I created a header file for a game I've been working on that contains all global variables. Ironically, it is named "globalvars.h" Here it is :
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;
int hp, att, def, str, wil, spr, fpr, agi, ehp, eatt, edef, estr, ewil, espr, efpr, eagi; //stats
int attr, eattr, defr, edefr, strr, estrr, wilr, ewilr, sprr, esprr, fprr, efprr, agir, eagir; // rolls
int dmg;
string MoA;
// this file contains all the global variables and is to be included in all other files in the program
Anyways, At first glance, this seems like a list of variables that should work when the file is included as such : #include "globalvars.h"
HOWEVER... when i try to run the program, I get this error for every variable (that's around 25) :
1>c:\users\jonathan\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\game\game\globalvars.h(8): error C2086: 'int hp' : redefinition
1> c:\users\jonathan\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\game\game\globalvars.h(8) : see declaration of 'hp'
So this says that I'm redefining the variable upon declaration, which is very, very strange, any help is GREATLY appreciated and you will be rewarded with at least 10 .
Thanks, JONO

SO, i'd say, the odds are stacked against us being alone. Sorry creationists. For more info see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation
