This is my old entries for the 25-line ActionScript competition held by Keith Peters in 2008. Nearly three years has passed, how fast the time flies! They were originally written as timeline code within 25 lines, I tidied them up and here they are:
MineCraft will be open source someday in the future (http://www.minecraft.net/about.jsp):
"Once sales start dying and a minimum time has passed, I will release the game source code as some kind of open source. I'm not very happy with the draconian nature of (L)GPL, nor do I believe the other licenses have much merit other than to boost the egos of the original authors, so I might just possibly release it all as public domain. "
But for now, enjoy this list of open source MineCraft alternatives!

HaXeNME (http://www.haxenme.org) is an open source, cross platform haxe lib for developing games using a Flash like api. Just try it if you don't know it. If you hope to write once and compile to flash/html5/cpp/ios..., HaXeNME should be your first choice. I never tried to use mochiads with haxenme, though I know it is totally possible. Since some one PMed me for this topic, I did a quick research and want to share it here as a reminder for future reference.
Note: this is not a detailed step-by-step tutorial for newbies, just a reminder. I assume you have some experience of developing with HaXeNME using FlashDevelop (http://www.flashdevelop.org). However, if you have problems, feel free to post it here below.
The general steps for using mochiads with HaXeNME:
1. Download mochi api source code and compile all the AS3 source files into a "mochi.swc", unzip the swc file, rename the "library.swf" to "mochi.swf".
2. Generate the haxe source files needed for compiling your NME project:
haxe.exe -swf mochi.swf --no-output -swf-lib mochi.swf --gen-hx-classesCopy the genetated "mochi" folder (in its "as3" subfolder you should find lots of haxe files, such as "MochiAd.hx", "MochiCoins.hx", ...) into your project's "src" folder.
import mochi.as3.MochiAd; import mochi.as3.MochiServices;To show pregame ads, for example, using the following code, similar to AS3:
MochiServices.connect("60347b2977273733", root);
MochiAd.showPreGameAd( { id:"60347b2977273733", res:"640x580", clip: root} );
