Should we make a Touhou mod for Minecraft?

Genocide is such a strong term. I prefer "becoming the best in all of Gensokyo". As for spell cards, this is what they would probably look like in 16 bits. As for the coder issue, I was thinking we should reveal this to the Minecraft Forums. What do you think?
No whatever, more Reimu!

mhm, revealing it to the forum sounds fine
Buy overpriced unecessary Junk or GTFO :3

Done. All we can do is wait. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1661762-looking-for-coder-for-touhou-related-minecraft-mod/

if I wasn't making my own game right now, I might have thought about jumping on this
just as a side-note though... as a programmer, advertisements such as these look rather unappealing; if you really want someone to get on this, you need to give them some sort of incentive to do so; money works but I doubt a touhou minecraft mod is worth that amount of money to anyone; make it clear that the project is THEIRS, and that they'll have a lot lot lot of control over the final product, as well as ALL the revenue from ad.fly links (or at least 2/3 if you include texture artists); when you listed those job titles (supervisor, ideas, etc.), you make it seem like those positions have already been decided, and that I'm there only to fill in the programmer gap and just follow orders from above; just say that you already have some ideas (list some in the thread to inspire people! unless you guys are paranoid that this is a really really good idea and someone will steal it) and that you, rap, and topaz have the art assets covered so that I don't need to worry about it and can concentrate on just the programming
nothing pisses us off more than when designers try and ask us to do something and expect it to be doable and done exactly how they describe it... code just doesn't work that way (though it's infinitely easier with something as simple as minecraft)
if you all aren't willing to do that, then you all should just learn some Java!(for IDEs I recommend IntelliJ for newbie-beginners, but if you aren't scared of complex interfaces I'd recommend eclipse or netbeans) if you don't know it already that is; if it's your first language ever, then great! knowing how to program is something that will never hurt you in terms of future job prospects or experience

I have been thinking about learning Java for some time now. Maybe I'll get to learn it in college.

I'm not in college and I already know a lot about Java. Maybe some things I'm not so sharp at (reflections grumblegrumble), but I'm decent enough to make small programs and little games.
If you've had experience in C# (essentially C with Java syntax) or any C language, it'll be easy to learn it because the basic syntax is the same.
Just know that Java has a lot more hand-holding.
and, as lostguru had said, it would be bad to start in college because homework and classes and things.

Well, it looks like I have to learn Java, since no one is replying to the job.
