I don't mean to be stupid or anything, but is there some reason why you are using ASCII maps instead of like a 3D modeler program to make your terrain? I don't really know what ASCII maps are but is a more efficient way of making terrain than using a modeler?

Ok, I try out the skydome then! Maybe I'll make one of the good skydomes.

I agree with the idea that Sun is great at screwing things up. They should have updated the JMF years ago, and when they did that created the jit, instead of waiting until jre5 to speed things up. What was the speed difference between 4 to 5? It was huge! Why couldn't Sun have done that with 4?

I have tried the javafx preview out, and I do really like it. The javafx script is pretty simple to learn if you understand java, and the libraries are simple to use. What I really liked was the Media object that played a sound file properly and then played a video file properly, and was very fast at loading the video file. If Sun can somehow get some attention for JavaFX and do things correctly, I think they will have something that may compete with Flash. But, then again someone in that fool company will think, "Oh, let's sue Google for not purchasing a jre for the Android platform, and force them to use Jfx Mobile."

How do you render at 128*128? When I press F12 it just pops up this frame, and then , very slowly, renders out the camera view. I'm not sure if the rendered area is 128*128.

Also what are static particles? I'm a noob at blender.

Looks cool! What are going to use to make the textures for your terrain with? I was using Blender but although it is great for building the mesh of a terrain I can't figure out how to get a good terrain texture.

Nice job. It is better using a mouse than a touchpad. The one thing is the floating blocks disappear, which looks a little weird.

It may work. I suppose it depends whether the Textures are attached to the TextureManager or not. Just try it out!

Ok, I think I was using 1.15 with my shadow testing; I'll mess it with 1.16. Thanks for the heads up.
