Hmm. I am hurting my brain but I seem to recall it being in... err.. A very early Collections manager thread maybe? I dunno. I will go look.

deal with that later. other fish to fry. Got the recompiler to swallow the reference to the Amazon libs.

== ERRORS FOUND ==

src/minecraft/net/minecraft/client/Minecraft.java:803: cannot find symbol
symbol : method isActive()
location: class net.minecraft.client.MinecraftApplet
if (this.mcApplet != null && !this.mcApplet.isActive())
^

src/minecraft/net/minecraft/client/Minecraft.java:2195: cannot find symbol
symbol : method setStub(net.minecraft.src.MinecraftFakeLauncher)
location: class net.minecraft.client.MinecraftApplet
var15.setStub(var14);

That sounds like I need to extend the amazon class to include a fake isActive or patch the code to not need it. Thinking on that.

EDIT:
Okay. I went with fixing the code.

I got around the first error by a simple change of the test.

The send one I'm not so sure about

Im reading this and this to try and understand what is being asked.

here is the code that throws the error (looks to be init code)

    var1.put("demo", "" + var2);
        var1.put("stand-alone", "" + var3);
        var1.put("username", var5);
        var1.put("fullscreen", "" + var4);
        var1.put("sessionid", var6);
        Frame var13 = new Frame();
        var13.setTitle("Minecraft");
        var13.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
        JPanel var12 = new JPanel();
        var13.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        var12.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(854, 480));
        var13.add(var12, "Center");
        var13.pack();
        var13.setLocationRelativeTo((Component)null);
        var13.setVisible(true);
        var13.addWindowListener(new GameWindowListener());
        MinecraftFakeLauncher var14 = new MinecraftFakeLauncher(var1);
        MinecraftApplet var15 = new MinecraftApplet();
        var15.setStub(var14);
        var14.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        var14.add(var15, "Center");
        var14.validate();
        var13.removeAll();
        var13.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        var13.add(var14, "Center");
        var13.validate();
        var15.init();
        var15.start();
        Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new ThreadShutdown());

Heres the error:

me@dev ~/Downloads/MCPR $ ./recompile.sh --client

Thinking on that... yep, so this is linked to the fact that we dont have http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/...ppletStub.html as outlined by error one not having an isActive() method... Sigh wish I knew more java. : )

My Java is very rusty, but ...

        MinecraftApplet var15 = new MinecraftApplet();
        var15.setStub(var14);

I think the message is saying you don't have a MinecraftApplet.setStub method.
If so, it should be fixable by extending the MinecraftApplet with that method.

Warning: This is application code, I rarely ever did anything other than system's code.

Yep. spot on. now I just need to figure out if it would be better to rewrite the launcher entirely as a kindlet. head scratching

Thanks mate

Minecraft: Pocket Edition is now being "ported" to Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is a popular ARM/Linux-based general purpose minicomputer.

I guess, this "port" will be a bit more suitable for Kindle (which is also an ARM/Linux-based device). It may even run on Kindle as-is.

Yeah. That's great news : )

See, dream hard enough and they just walk right up to you : D

Thanks mate

"Expectations for minecraft pocket edition: worldwide mulitplayer, bigger worlds and redstone !"

Also heard and I'm not sure where that red stone is aiming for early next year.

multiplayer online possibly, they will try but it may not happen if it doesn't work well.

It will be interesting to see if there is any interoperability between the new raspberry pi version just announced.

further news on the general area. Looking quite rosy

[qlob]

Looking forward to this -- I've got 3 RasPis at the moment and another is on it's way.

If it supports python or ruby(they did say support for multiple languages after all) and we can get it to run on the kindle, I'd love to help in whatever way I can, even if that is writing docs or something.

[twobob]

I am quite certain it will support both

but I could be wrong. yep. prescient!!

happy days!

[qlob]

I did notice that the RasPi foundation said they sent some of their boards to mojang in their blog post... Maybe we should send them Kindles?

[twobob]

I thought actually a much similar thing. I had emailed Notch and told of our intent.

TBH this "should" be enough COME ON!

Lol... Hmm..

Minecraft... Amazon...

You have a great idea... Someone always runs off with it hehehe

[twobob]

LOL Hard float. Typical...

: )

[qlob]

Maybe we need to look at something like this assembly program for the TI 83/84 caclulators?

it's 2d, but still nice...
