Footage of Notch (Markus Persson) live-coding his Minicraft game in Java during a Ludum Dare 48-hour game jam. It shows a working game developer building a complete small game from scratch.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN points to it as an example of Notch's famous live-coding sessions, which drew many early Minecraft fans.
