Hi Darren: Not for something like Minecraft. Minecraft has a very huge game world, and something like a 10x10 grid or even something as large as 100x100 isn't big enough for the game world. In Minecraft the game's over world contains various types of terrain and areas such as forests, deserts, mountains, etc on what I assume to be a very large grid. I suppose in theory a level editor would be possible, but it would be a lot more complex than just dragging and dropping the various elements of the game world on the grid.
I'd have to put more thought into a project like that. I am sure something like Minecraft is doable, but it would have to be done differently from the mainstream version. It is a fairly complex game where you gather resources like wood, stone, ore, etc and then craft tools and weapons. You can build houses and other structures while trying to fend off giant spiders, skeletons, zombies, and other monsters. In short, it is a complex piece of software to write and even more complex to make fully accessible. Cheers!
