Hi Caleb,
1. a few years back I dabbled a bit in Minecraft development myself, so
I could teach my son about programming (we were working on a new
sport/arena-type-game mode, which alas never saw the light of day
due to time constraints, even though we got pretty far (that the
Minecraft code base is pretty awful & a constantly moving target did
not help either ;-) ) ), and of course I did that using Groovy.
2. Ironically, after what I said in my last post, Minecraft development
is one of the few areas where Groovy is not a 100% drop in Java
replacement, due to the fact that the compiled bytecode needs to be
transformed to be compatible with Minecraft, and this runs into some
issues:
1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8385
3. Afaik this never got resolved and the ticket accordingly closed
after some time. This is something you could have a look at on your
own, asking on the mailing list if a question arises - or maybe
someone has the time & knowledge to guide you... G-)
Cheers,
mg

But uh, the biggest thing is that I want to spend my summer working on
a passion project with some really knowledgeable people and get
real-world experience in open-source software development. So like,
if this even /somewhat/ sounds like a good idea... would anyone be
willing to mentor me? 🥺
