I've nearly finished the create-an-event thing, but I want to find a less tacky way of representing them on the map. I want events to be drawn as they should appear, but also be clearly marked as events in an unambiguous way (especially between events made out of tiles and ordinary upper layer tiles).
In other things, I've also confirmed mining YAC is actually pretty fast despite it taking a long time between shares. This mining pool has a simple getting started guide and user-friendly controls, and more importantly, they actually paid up.
I did a little more research and it seems the reason for this is because YAC uses an algorithm (named "scrypt-jane") that greatly lessens the advantage people with way too many GPUs have over ordinary computer owners. You can have the miner run in the background while you do other things, like make RPGs. Then you can contribute to RPG 20XX or keep all the coins for yourself.

CloseYay a closer progress for the next update \ :D /
For unambiguous way, that E icons seems enough. Especially there won't many tiles with that shape in rpg (also give some alpha value). If not, it can be updated in the next update.
About YAC, how many cores (cpu) and ram did you use for mining?
--edit:
I just realized that the YAC wallet screenshot has gone.

I dunno about ram, but I let it run on all 4 of my laptop's cores. There is still an advantage to running cudaminer with -a scrypt-jane of about 4x 5x faster measured after an overnight mine (GPU mining) but it's not as insane as the difference for LiteCoin and DogeCoin. The minerd_scrypt_jane_x64_ssse3.exe program seems to yield correctly when you use the machine (I can browse this website and develop my program without noticing much).
There is an option to set threads. It's probably either -t # or --threads #
It's difficult to know how fast you'll actually gain shares- it's very random. Within a 2 hour session I once gained 0 shares and once I gained 4. It's best to just leave the YAC miner running and ignore it.
If you're going to GPU mine though, you should mine DogeCoins (that same website has a section for them, you'll have to make another account though) since they'll still be efficient to mine for three or so more months. Cudaminer out of the box will do this if you have an nVidia card since DogeCoin uses scrypt. I just added an address.
DogeCoin also has a hilarious music video:
I also got it confused: DogeCoin was invented to tip/donate to developers of desirable content while LiteCoin was just made to be a 'silver' standard.
It was unnecessary, and all the wallet programs look the same anyways.
What's attractive about the idea is it allows you to donate money to RPG 20XX without spending any. It's one thing to donate cash and then a project sinks.. with your cash, it's another to donate currency that wasn't initially worth anything at all.
If my project survives, then it will last long enough to earn the future value of the currency- whatever it becomes. In a sense, you're giving me money that eventually gains worth but only if I can continue to deliver on my promises for the project, at no cost to you other than computer power you weren't using anyway.
A failure state of the currency is where it never gains worth, but if enough people actually mine and use it, it will gain worth. So to use you (NeithR) as an example, if you find YACoin is the easiest to obtain over DogeCoin, then you're supporting YACoin by increasing its popularity and circulation and therefore its value might rise.
