Watching Notch Create A Game For Ludum Dare


Spent quite a bit of time watching @notch create a game for the Ludum Dare (#LD48) gamedev competition. Devs have 48 hours to create a game using the theme of the competition. The theme for this year's competition is "Escape". While his game looks similar to the game he's known for, Minecraft, it's amazing just to watch how fast he codes in Java in Eclipse and how fast he creates graphics and maps in Paint.NET.

Stream is still up at http://www.twitch.tv/realnotch at this time.
The live stream is no longer up, as the competition is over, but you can play his game at:
