https://github.com/jgosar/mine-city-2000/blob/master/MineCit... contains "private byte[][][][][][][] _blockDatas;" which made my eye twitch.

But generally I think it's just older than the git history indicates. The sln file mentions Visual Studio 2010!

Ye this commit [0] imports a "local repository" with Visual Studio 2010 .sln file.

The original README mentions .NET Framework 4, so C# has progressed a fair amount since.

Hi, I'm the author of this project. I actually coded most of it in 2014, i just did some refactoring and uploaded it to GitHub in 2019 after I mentioned it in a job interview and the guy asked if the code is uploaded anywhere so he could look at it.

Hi jgosar, and thanks for joining into the discussion :D

I figure you noticed the drastic increase in repo activity and stars. What's your own opinion on java-ness of the code? Do you feel it is an accurate assessment?

I hope you didn't take it personal, I've most certainly done similar things when I learned C# after doing java for the initial university courses.

Yes, I mostly worked on Java and C# projects at the time, so it's understandable:)
