About a month ago I encountered an unfortunate performance degradation in mcedit: when you paste very long line (~50K) it takes visible time to process the paste: https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4421

I took it as an opportunity to give vim a second chance. Turns out ~/.vimrc I kept around for decades was actively corrupting text files. Once I fixed it vim became quite usable!

I dumped a bit of editor history I had into the https://trofi.github.io/posts/277-from-mcedit-to-vim.html

#midnightcommander #mcedit #vim

At first i was like:
```
Alt-6 for paste? wtf are they smoking? These binds are terrible.
```
Now i'm like:
```
C-Space, Alt-Space for moving word-by-word feels nice!
Alt-: to record a macro and Alt-; to execute is nice too!
Find and replace is way more intuitive with C-w than :s/foo/bar/g
```
Just my 2 cents - give #nano a chance

Unrelated: #helix is a damn nice modal editor, but i can't get used to d and x keystrokes changing places with vi.

#mcedit also uses Alt-6. I'll get used to it.

2016 project: UNDERWORLD - voxel landscapes from noise

Like many folk I travelled through the noisy realm of 2D and 3D heightmaps. Working in Python from first principles I made a few scripts that resulted in the UNDERWORLD filter, available here: http://www.brightmoore.net/mcedit-filters-1/underworld

It also has a mix of ore-vein and tunnel generators, as well as pine trees!

This has been a workhorse for a lot of projects.

January 22, 2016 project: WORLD FOUNDRY procedural planets

This project grew out of an earlier project THAT'S NO MOON that was my first attempt at large-scale stellar bodies. Here I focussed on creating noisy spherical landscapes with a layered structure.

This technology was used in Jigarbov's #MinecraftMarketplace worlds called "ABSTRACTION: SOLAR" and "ABSTRACTION: SOLAR 2", as well as several community projects that I am aware of.

The tools and techniques developed here became useful when I started thinking about procedurally generating the universe for my own Marketplace project: STAR BLOCK

Code and schematic examples available here http://www.brightmoore.net/mcedit-filters-1/worldfoundry

August 18, 2016 project ARMADA: Procedural voxel spaceship MCEdit script filter.

Code and schematic examples are available from http://www.brightmoore.net/mcedit-filters-1/armada

This devlog was really fun, with people claiming ships based on their own unique generation seed.

Начинаю подозревать, что терминальный мультиплексор (или что он там) это первый шаг к емаксу. Пока держусь в mcedit в консоли и kate в GUI.

Похоже, mcedit не умеет визуально переносить строки по границе окна. Странно. Хоть на tilde переходи.

Also, I was informed that there's a Generative Design in #Minecraft competition going on! Submit an #MCEdit filter or (new experimental option) #MinecraftForge mod for 1.12.2 that transforms a chunk of a map on request to place a human-style settlement on it. The result maps get loaded back into vanilla to be judged on their adaptiveness to the environment, functionality, quality of narrative implication, and aesthetics. #ProceduralGeneration

I am still, however, bad at computational geometry…
