Minecraft the next big software platform?

The last few days in software has been interesting. In fact the last couple of weeks have been strange. And that's just in the Minecraft community alone.
Lets recap:
Few days ago Mojang makers of Minecraft was "officially" bought by Microsoft.
Couple of weeks ago, CraftBukkit hit major issues, DMCA of its code base and all.
So many people have left the bukkit universe that it probably won't be restarted.

Allegro compilation

So yesturday I started work on making a game.
This was all well and good except it would help to have a game engine.
I choose Allegro for it being c based so much more easier to interface to D. (Bindings already exist).

My primary platform is Windows 7 64bit.
This was primarily because dmd (D's compiler) uses Microsofts toolchain for linking. This is rather nice thing for COFF support as it's linker (optilink) only support OMF and thats for 32bit only.
