Oh, look who's alive! It is now how long, 1/2 month since your last commit?
Fun? Definitely. Come on, it's Legoland, after all. It brings out the inner child in every man
I'm now doing two things - in the trunk I'm trying to speed up the NBT parser and serializer so that MCA files are read fast enough. And in my composable_generator branch I'm rewriting the lighting. Because since the generator rewrite we get the advantage of having chunk's block fully generated in one go (instead of previously waiting for neighbors for trees), so the lighting can take full advantage of this. Also I'm thinking of doing a lazy-lighting evaluation - lighting will be calculated only when needed (sending chunk to a player or getting light value for a mob to spawn), instead of after each block change.
