Ways Of Word on Legacy MineTest fulfils its further promise of testing its smaller map / realm on Linux. Beaut!

Ways Of Word on Legacy MineTest fulfils its further promise of testing its smaller map / realm, referred to as "32 Bit", on a low-end Linux system and (as predicted) it works, seamlessly! It is pleasing to have two somewhat different versions of the creative writing adventure map out there, where owners of low-end (or high-end) systems can journey and write within this 3D fantasy blocky-world. To access the Ways Of Word map, one only has to unzip the (no-binary / .EXE absent) .ZIP file and transfer its contents into the respective "Worlds" & "Mods" MineTest game folder. Any additional images, here included, present the Linux experience in this example. Thanks! PS. The larger Ways Of Word map / realm called "64 Bit" is also available as a separate download without any binary / .EXE.

Ways Of Word - Poetry Realm Map - N0.EXE

Current Location: Vienna, AT.

Inspired to share by a little friendly banter elsewhere online. This is what I wrote...

Ways Of Word on MineTest.

In building this large realm I set myself a challenge to build this creative writing world only by placing blocks manually, per click, and avoiding all Administration Rights even including flying. This meant that even at great height every block was placed - in fact from and in this instance - the standard helicopter.

This was a personal in-game challenge somewhat like playing Mahjong and was intended to be cathartic.

I had two other central aims. 1). to create the very first extensive prose & poetry blocky world online and to achieve this aim MineTest outstripped MineCraft in its in-game assets. 2). To make this blocky prose map / realm a possibility for use on all post-Windows Vista operating systems, so that persons of the lowest income bracket could achieve in-game creative writing. So, if the teacher were to suggest a writing concept using this blocky world tool that every teenager+ would be able to travel the fantasy world without it crashing. To this end I created two maps on MineTest 5.4.1, one in “32 Bit” (lowest system demands) and one in “64 Bit” (normal system demands). Each realm maintained core Ways Of Word venues and operate as single-player clone downloads.

Going forward, my own personal interest is seeing what prose students of English as a second language may write. Speaking as a qualified nurse, I know that creative writing is therapeutic and MineTest affords the opportunity for anyone to escape the horrors of their stress and be free to write within a 3D writing environment. Total respect to all MineTest game and mod developers! THX for reading and I will put up a little composite of example screenshots, below.

*Great* news MineTest writers... That which was thought impossible has actually been achieved - A Ways Of Word realm for writing within for truly low spec - 32 Bit , 2GB RAM, no threads CPUs computers. Yes I have reworked the map / realm RIVERBANK edition UPDATE, re-building significant parts of it to make it somewhat smaller than the 64 bit original, with the same number of goals to visit and write within. Moreover, the PC that I used to rebuild the Ways Of Word realm for 32 Bit computers was an EeePC N450 CPU, 2 GB machine running Windows 7. The downloads for the lower power version of Ways Of Word will be made available on our www.waysofword.org | wow.Irish project website. This reworked, Legacy MineTest 5.4.1., realm is also useable on 64 bit systems of the LOWEST order. HaPpY Days people!

We do hope that visitors are enjoying the virtues of experimenting in short and pleasing creative writing works, actually, within this beautiful blocky-game. Lots can be said about this innovative online e-publishing, free-will, grass-roots writing concept and a lot has already been said on the idea at:-

https://www.waysofword.org

Voluntary contributions can be uploaded to any of the Social Media forums linked on the WaysOfWord webpages, however, it has been decided to allocate a central and unified space for commentary and questions at:-

https://waysofword.dreamwidth.org

... due to its abundant clarity and good oversight and community culture.

Therefore, interested parties and groups and student classes are encouraged to create a free account

at Dreamwidth and then join the discussion and offer commentary and queries directly on the

Let me provide some examples of what there is to find regarding spaces to think and write. Write on...

The concept offers a 1st in in-game, 3D e-publishing on MineTest 5.4.1 within Ways Of Word

This is where client gamers spawn into within the super-large WOW creative writing map.

Hi!

So, go on then, another few words... I want to change the world and promote world peace. Another few...

The thing is, me and mine trawled through loads of mega stress over a period of four years with a truly disastrous overhead, attic building project of doom, conducted by sorts who were interested in money and not people. We were flushed out of our dwelling, no, much more than a living space, our home - twice! We survived and fought our way back home, poorer but ultimately dry (indoors)!

This Ways Of Word free-will, creative writing project is an off-shoot development of this 4 year endurance saga - a building project for different dimensions which offered diversion and relief to the mind.

What is it, exactly?

A map. You w'ot? A 3D legacy MineTest 5.4.1 blocky-game adventure realm, where players / gamers are tasked with:-

walking, swimming, climbing, jumping and teleporting [flight with helicopters is permitted] across this super-large build with one purpose in mind - to write creatively and screenshoot one's poems, prose and short stories unto Ways Of Word social media hubs, or alternatively email these micro-prose written works to Ways Of Word via the website. [ https://www.waysofword.org ].

Why the .org?

Organisation? Well, independent, grass-roots and not-for-profit with education within its mandate. Also, the project wants to standby the originator creation MineTest's principles of openness and freedom-to-use gaming. WOW also wishes to be accessible by persons of less privilege and developing nations' authors / gamers. With this in mind, from the start of the idea, the game / map was consciously built using 12+ year old computer systems x3. Ways Of Word can, most definitely, be played on the most ancient 4 GB of RAM, 64 bit systems. Admittedly, some will still therefore be excluded. Apologies to their good selves! The reason why I could not take it down to 2 GB of RAM and 32 bit systems was that I did try and it failed. My creation became too big (ultimately at a .zip download of 1.6 GB - unzipping into approximately 2.5 GB) but the game did remain stable on the 64 bit systems. Actually, this Ways Of Word Version 1.0 Riverbank Edition is not the first iteration of the concept. The first was a completed adventure map on Minecraft Nintendo Edition on console 2DS XL. Alas, that version was un-shareable due to system's designed security locks. The joy of this MineTest version is that MineTest is an Opensource, volunteer gift to society and does not operate punitively towards persons of lesser means. MineTest is free and so is this large map.

You have a real passion for this avant-garde concept...

I do! The reason why I am so interested is that I robustly take the view that writing is human and an inner journey that people who learn written language can embark upon and achieve and benefit from and not using AI - something about the thinking and feeling part of writing is somehow cleansing. But, in an age of racing T_K-T_K & Re_l videos and social media in general, writing, and moreover, thinking before writing is much less experienced. This is a key reason why I have created this unique blocky-game realm / map which has the sole aim at its core of encouraging actual reflection and writing directly within a 3D fantasy world, and I believe a 1st for online e-publishing.

And you, yourself, what do you think?

Well, screenshooting I can easily do, but writing... I am not so sure...

Go on, treat yourself to a few lines!
