On some other notes... a) how do you build a roof? and b) how do I make fire?

bwahah I'm a caveman.

Edit: It's foggy at night and I can see things move in the distance... but nothing is getting close o.o
I usually build all of my dwellings underground or in mountainsides, which is nice because you don't have to worry about a roof, only doors. If you do want to do a roof though, you could do something simple like I usually do:



It may not be as pretty as what my friend does having a pitched roof, but it works. And you don't need glass -- basic stone would work.

You're definitely going to want torches at the very least -- those are really simple to make: Just a stick with a lump of coal on top. All of the current possible recipes are found here: Crafting - Minepedia - The Minecraft Wiki!

You also want to take a look at smelting: Furnace - Minepedia - The Minecraft Wiki!

Finally, you can adjust the fog by hitting the F key, and it will cycle through different fog distances. Shorter view distance is better for shittier computers.

Oh, and some of my stuff if you're interested, in very artifact-ey JPEGs:
