We have talked a bit about Notch's new upcoming space game, "0x10c" - a game where you wake up millions of years in the future, because of a misplaced digit! What separates the game from most other space-themed fare is the approach; the main draw of the title is undoubtedly the built-in CPU, which runs inside the game - not a facsimile of one, but an actual, functioning computer. The computer does literally whatever it is programmed to do, whether that be managing power aboard your new ship, running a game while you wait for a mining operation to finish, or anything else you can throw at it.
Yes, the player can program the computer themselves, if so inclined! What goes perfectly with an incredibly complex computer system? A wiki to cover every inch of it, that's what! Do you think you've got the technical know-how to program a CPU in Notch's latest game? If so, be sure to check out the wiki and make your expertise known! The sooner, the better - your entries may become the industry standard for players everywhere, if you're good enough. Take a look! Also, be sure to check out our 0x10c site, where we will be covering the game in detail - see you there!

Digital Diamond - Minecraft Mods - For Slackers
From "The Gamer's Cave's" Brandon comes a gem about mods, for the everyday slacker! He covers a number of different mods in a nice, compact cheese-cracker-friendly demonstration - check it out!
Also, I can't wait until we are able to trade with NPC villagers. That will be a lot of fun!
Secondly, concerning the new game. This looks highly promising. I hope we get to customize our ships internally and externally, especially to make us look unique when multiplayer comes out. What I suggest, when it comes to the CPU programming in-game, is there should be a basic format and advanced format for programmers of all skill levels. Basic format would have a list of basic programming functions, and advanced would be a completely clean slate meant for advanced programmers to work on.
Question: Will we be able to build stations/bases for our ships?
If you intend to play multiplayer.
Gee, way to learn not to care how other people play.

I've known several wikis come out before the game. They usually are a good source of exchanging information about rumors and cataloging information released by developers. In this case, however, Notch has been spewing forth so much information about the game including two workable "releases" (one was an accidental "leak" and the other was a pretty useful emulator for the DCPU-16) that detailed information about the game is available right now including a couple of issues that are fairly controversial.
The sad thing is that this effort by Curse is sort of late to the game as the 0x10^c fan community has already established a pretty robust forum and wiki. In fact one wiki already folded up shop and merged into another one simply to keep the community from getting even more fractured as duplicated effort was considered too much work.
Curse can't say I didn't warn them that it might be an issue. An unmet need was filled by somebody else. Perhaps these effort by Curse might bear some fruit, but it would be my guess that they stay marginalized.... particularly the wiki. At this point I only see it as fracturing the community even further and making it harder to be able to address the community of 0x10^c fans. The connection to the "official Minecraft forum" might be worth some, but how much?
