One question, are you going to set aside the necessary space required for the temporary file? That seems like a lot of space.

Ah, magic numbers. I suspectd that's what you were talking about. And magic numbers hasn't been a good system for years and years. And it's totally incompatible with every other OS. I want cross-compatability with Linux, Windows, Mac, etc.
Well most operating systems that use it also use extensions for cross compatibility, but it would be helpful for files without extensions. But anywho, it's your choice

So I'm guessing you aren't going to think about using magic bits?

In the most basic sense, yes, but instead of just being a file, you can actually reference the original file with it, symbolic links are much more complex then shortcuts.
i.e: /home/eeems/Desktop/ha/ has a symbolic link located at /home/ha so instead of having to type out /home/eeems/Desktop/ha/ all the time to access that folder you can now use the shortcut of /home/ha/. Having a symbolic link to a file makes it seem like it is there, so symbolically linking a settings file in one location to another will make it editable by whatever accesses both locations, and unlike a .lnk which when you try to open it you open the shortcut file, symbolic links are followed when you edit them, so instead of the symbolic link file, you open the file it is pointed to.
In short, I much prefer the symbolic link method over the .lnk method due to the limitations that are not in place over symbolic links that are over .lnk files.

I think I'll try to implement that in Rogue whenever I get the chance to actually do something with it

Ah ok. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link or in other words, a file that represents another file. So with symbolic linking you can have the file /home/eeems/some_folder/this_file but with a symbolic link to it located at /link_to_file you can just reference /link_to_file to access it. Symbolic links to directories are also nice

How far along is the filesystem currently?
Also, I was wondering, are you going to allow for symbolic links?

Yay! 3D. Now we can make minecraft
Sorry to shatter your hopes, but there's just not enough RAM to make that happen.
Blasphemy!
