[Qwepir]

"Have you played... Eh... Zero times ten... or eh.. uhhhhhh... eh... Notches new game?"

"Ox Tensee"

[Ad Bot]

[Tingalz]

[Skyfrost.]

I wonder how the mining operations are going to work.

Just as a note I too have experience with assembly programming and am more familiar with the concepts of it and processor design than Nitramtj.

This, and he's probably better at teaching than me too.

Also, Notch hasn't been working on Minecraft for a long time. He handed it off to Jeb.

Considering their workspace, I feel like he still provides a helping hand whenever he has time. He can still do things, sitting directly across from Jeb.

GUYS

THE LOWERCASE C STANDS FOR THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

SCIENCE TO THE RESCUE

and 0x10 is hexidecimal for 16.

so its 16 times 16 to the speed of light.

so 16^299 792 458

My calculator isnt powerful enough to calculate that

What's your Steam again?

Also guys.
10 to the power of c in binary/machine code/I forgot what it was, is called a trillek.
There's a good chance this game will be called Trillek or something similar.

360,986,090 decimal digits. Hot damn. You'd need quite the computer to calculate that.

but.... i thought its called 0x10c......

[Menen]

The c stands for 12.

Wat.

ok.

16^12 is 2.814749797

That is identical to the current date, 281 474 976 712 644

my calculator didnt go out that far.

So the name of the game is an equation for the Time Setting

Never played that game so unfortunately I don't know.

Yes, it's not exact (it's meant to be that way) but it's pretty damn close. I worked that out a couple of posts back.

Why 12?

[Khepri]

Why 12?

Because math friend.
