dan200 should really add individual pixel and color control, guess what it means: no more only text, that means 3d games, common i am a programmer and i saw a vid about 3d games in java without game engine, it worked

if this will be added i will try to make mario />

please leave a reply on this reply with jour thinking

you can edit some exotic chars of default font to get custom textures now, but that would be a very good thing to have for GUI-making.

i mean that u make a 2 dimensional array wint x and y values as position of the table then you let the array show up at the screen, maybe when this will be added i can make a API that works with buffered images that basicly a 2 dimensional array is with a for loop that sets the screen on to the array

i would like to see this because then you can make super cool games with the new monitor

If you want graphics, you are able to modify the default.png file in the minecraft jar (the font file) and use the extended ascii characters as your "sprites".

The reason we don't have "full" pixel control for computers is for SMP purposes. To transfer that much data is almost literally impossible in the time frame it would need to be transferred.

There's over 5000 pixels on the default screen size alone. That's a tad more than the 900 characters it holds. So your looking at a 5x increase in speed RIGHT off the bat. (Obv less if you didn't draw on all 5000 pixels, but the point is that it would be possible to lag a server heavily "easily".

This already exists: download the cc-gpu peripheral from the peripheral forum, it adds graphical displays. You can color every single pixel of the screen and in the next update 3d support will be added />

I don't think a mod with official smp support should include special features for ssp only. either the whole mod is smp, or nothing is.
