'Minecraft' Fan Finds a Way to Program BASIC Code In-game



You may have seen Minecraft used to teach programming or even mods that let you play programming but writing BASIC code inside Minecraft? It's almost not possible... until now. SethBling has developed a BASIC interpreter that allows you to build and run basic programs and scripts within Mojang's game of world-building. It's simple to use many commands, many blocks, but it works. You can print text and include in-game robots ("turtles") accomplish tasks. Are you looking to dig an extensive tunnel for your project? Start the digging script and let the bot take care of all the hard work.



It's not possible to write complex software in a setting that wasn't designed for it. The game's operating speed of 20Hz makes code slow. You can only perform 20 commands per second, and it gets slower the more you use it. It's not necessary to spend weeks developing the interpreterIt's already there.MINECRAFT SERVERS SethBling has already published the required material so it's a matter of installing the addon and practicing your IF/THEN statement.
