Minecraftis probably the single most successful indie game ever made. It has sold almost3 million copies, and it isn’t even out yet.
It’s success is well-earned, though. Mojang created a remarkably simple tool set and let players run wild. We’ve already seen afully functional computer, loads ofpixel artandeven the planet earth. Now we have yet another example of obscenely imaginative people with perhaps a tad too much time on their hands.
Shrogg2 has created a3D printerusing red stone and pistons. It’s really interesting to watch, and I must admit I’m thoroughly impressed with his knowledge of electrical engineering.
AsMinecraftgets closer and closer to its full release, I’m excited to see what else people will come up with. I’m half expecting people to cure cancer, solve the energy crisis and invent faster-than-light travel with their ownanimal-based space program.
