Books Descriptions
A hands-on introduction to coding that teaches you how to program bots
to do cool things in the game you love--Minecraft! This book takes the
robotic "turtle" method, and extends it to the 3D, interactive world of
Minecraft.Play with Minecraft and Learn to Code will transform Minecraft
from a mere video game into an educational programming tool. Using
ComputerCraft, a free Minecraft mod, and the Lua programming language
(used by professional game developers), you'll write programs to make
your bots dig mines, chop wood, craft items, and build anything you can
imagine. Sit back, relax, and make your turtle army do the work! The book
provides the full code needed to write each program and walks you
through it line by line, explaining how things work along the way. By book's
end, you'll have a handle on computer science basics, a taste of how fun
and powerful coding can be, and plenty of turtle robots at your command.
