Going-Ons of Tadukoo

 I previously talked about the Tadukoo Bible Project . I mentioned that "any truth is God's truth". While that's true, it has to be understood how you find truth. How you find truth is a philosophical topic that is part of the study of epistemology. While it's a very interesting topic to talk about with all the various philosophers and their ideas, I'm not going to go into detail about all that here, but I'll present a bit of my experience in college philosophy. Early on in the class, we talked about different kinds of relativism (ideas that certain contradictory truths could both be true). I wrote them down, noting how crazy they seemed and figured we'd discuss why they're false. We didn't. I can't recall talking about any philosopher who accepted the obvious fact that absolute truth exists and that relativism is a joke. Let me clarify (since there are many varied definitions of relativism), that I am saying that to say two things are true...

 The idea with being creative in the Tadukoo Bible Project  can be misinterpreted (just like anything can be). For example, someone could think a way to be creative would be to present an idea that goes against what I believe and then refuting it and presenting my belief. While this is creative (and could be used honestly in the project), it can easily be done in a harmful way. If I would present an idea as true for 15 minutes in a 30 minute video without any notes in those 15 minutes (or the title or description) that I don't believe the idea, but then in the 2nd half of the video refute the idea and present my idea as true, it wouldn't be good. Some people would quit watching in those 15 minutes with the idea that I believe whatever I was presenting, which would be giving them the wrong idea. A better way to do it would be to include somewhere at the beginning (or in the title or description) that I'm simply presenting the idea and will refute it later (and I could includ...

 The Tadukoo Bible Program is a program I'm working on that will replace the Tadukoo Bible Bukkit plugin. It took months to make the Bukkit plugin because I was hand-copying verses from biblegateway.com and then formatting them into yml format. Now with the program, I can download them all (and have them formatted into Properties automatically) in 17 minutes. I also wrote a secondary plugin to take those yml files and format them into other yml files to fit into Minecraft books. Originally, it took about 2 minutes per chapter, meaning 39 hours of running the plugin. Now the program takes 2 minutes to do this. The program is being designed so that it can be reused for Bukkit, Spigot, Spout, Forge, Sponge, as a stand-alone program, and much more rather than just Bukkit or one of the others. Currently, it only runs as a program, but I'll soon be making it work with Bukkit (and Spigot). The others will come in time, and hopefully I'll be able to re-use it for so much more in th...

I recently talked about my new goal being the Tadukoo Bible Project , and that things should either be reconciled to the new goal or stopped. This post is about how I can reconcile things to the new goal. Regarding TAG (the game I've worked on programming and have posted about multiple times), to reconcile it, I'd simply have to give it a good moral message (or multiple). Any other games I would make would also need a good moral message or to be specifically about God. The API and Engine I've been designing don't really need reconciled, because they are tools to use to make other programs. Minecraft with Tadukoo would change in some way that I'd talk about God or His knowledge and wisdom in the videos as the main subject. Minecraft: Order of the Stone: A Retelling of the Cave Game would change so that I not only talk about the history of Minecraft, but events from those days in a Christian worldview and potentially my life in those days. Any other YouTube series wou...
