Coding with Minecraft: Learn to Code by Programming Robots in Minecraft! PDF Free

Book description

A hands-on introduction to programming teaches you how to program bots to do cool things in your favorite game – Minecraft! This book takes the “turtle” robotics approach and extends it to the interactive 3D world of Minecraft.
You’ve mined diamonds, made dozens of tools, and built all sorts of structures – but what if you could program a robot to do it all for you in a short amount of time?
In this book, you will create an army of virtual robots with Lua, a programming language used by professional game developers. Step-by-step coding projects will show you how to write programs that automatically mine, gather materials, craft objects, and build anything you can imagine. In the process, you’ll explore key computer concepts like data types, functions, variables, and more.
You will learn how to make games like:
  • Program robots to make smart decisions with flow control
  • Reuse the code so your robots can grow any crop they want, including wheat, sugarcane, and even cacti.
  • Program a factory that generates infinite building materials
  • Design an algorithm to create walls and buildings of any size.
  • Code yourself like a robotic lumberjack swinging a pickaxe!
  • Create a robot that digs mining pits with ladders so you can explore safely
