Can someone shed some light on his development environment? I realize that he's writing Java in Eclipse, but it seems that the changes he's making are showing up in the rendering in real-time. How is this possible?
Eclipse will automatically update the running classes with the latest code that compiled. If you aren't changing method or class signatures then it will work like that :)
This is for Notch's Ludum Dare entry. Apparently he spent like $300 so that everyone could get a HD stream to read what he's writing. But then 11,000 people (by far the most popular on livestream.com right now) watched a screen that said "brb, getting a cheeseburger" for about an hour before he started. I bet someone at livestream.com analytics was really confused :)

I love it; using eclipses live debugging feature makes this incredibly entertaining. Also, excellent taste in music.
No-one cares how you develop it, it's a "just get it done" thing.
