Minecraft!

    Lately I have been posting more and more videos and blogs that have alot more to do with computers and other technology than most of my blogs. It's still winter and the weather currently is not suitable for flight, so I will be posting more computer related stuff.

   Recently I have begun playing an awesome game called Minecraft! If you have heard of it you probably know about it, but if you havent you might love the game. The game is a "sandbox" game and the theme is entirely based on blocks. You play as a block person and explore the world around you in first person view. You modify the world around you with blocks, however you must attain the blocks usually by mining. At night monsters come out and you must build houses and shelters to protect yourself.

  The game is currently still under developement so it has it's bugs, but it is currently in the beta stage and is close to being finished. There is also a multiplayer feature which is complicated and requires setting up your own server, or just playing on one already set.

  I will post more videos and blogs about mind craft so stay tuned for that. Also "subscribe" to my blog, it's free!

Weather

Today the Weather is crap, no flying for me. I watched the epic train film Unstoppable. I love the powerful "triple" 7. I might do some indoor flying with a Parkzone Night Vapor, Parkzone Ultra-Micro P-51D and the Parkzone T-28 Trojan. Up coming events include a Fun Fly in April and the Dan Sullivan in June/July. Stay tuned for upcoming RC action and videos. Also visit our FaceBook Page.

Microsoft smallBASIC

Hello and welcome to SwashBlade RC, lately I recently I have been learning programming, including HTML, smallBASIC and C++. I recomend starting on Microsoft smallBASIC. This simple language shows the fundamentals of programming and can be used to create simple and complex programs. The compiler that can be downloaded for free here. I have posted a youtube video lesson on programming. For more fun with programming you should download this extension here.
To add the extension to smallBASIC go to Start>Computer>MainHardDrive>ProgramFiles>Microsoft>SmallBasic and create a file called "lib" which is case sensitive. Copy the small basic fun files to this folder, then type tortoise.show() in small basic to test if the download is successful.
