Homebrew Minecraft for DS development on hold

Hey there,
I know it's been about two weeks since I last posted here, but I kind of needed a break from all this. Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that from now on the project is officially "on hold". The reason for this is that I've lost all motivation to push it any further for the time being. And this isn't really about me having school again; I've done this with pretty much all of my projects : I work hard on it for a while, and then it just kind of sits there for a few months... until I get back to it and finish it. So don't expect any updates for a few months (at least weeks) as I won't be working on this (I haven't touched the code since version 310811).

And before anyone says I should release the source code, I want you all to know that I have considered it and decided against it for the time being. As I have said already, I do plan on releasing the source code eventually, just not before I feel I'm done with the project. This is merely a break (hopefully) and at any rate the code is in no state to be published at this point in time. Massive amounts of cleaning have to be done and some stuff has to be rewritten, mostly because I tried to rush things to get it out in time for both competitions.

I hope you all understand, I'm very sorry about this.

I'm still trying to understand the whole Minecraft phenomenon; just doesn't appeal to me for some reason. As for the homebrew effort, I guess you often get what you pay for with these things...
