Aprenda a Programar com Minecraft

by Craig Richardson

Você já derrotou creepers, fez viagens a cavernas profundas e, talvez, até tenha ido ao The End e voltado. Mas... por acaso você já transformou uma espada numa varinha mágica? Construiu um palácio num piscar de olhos? Ou criou a sua própria pista de dança com luzes piscando? Em Aprenda a programar com Minecraft você fará tudo isso e muito mais com o poder do Python – uma linguagem disponibilizada gratuitamente, usada por milhões de programadores profissionais e iniciantes! Comece com lições breves e simples no Python, usando, em seguida, seus novos conhecimentos para modificar o Minecraft e produzir resultados instantâneos muito legais. Aprenda a personalizar o Minecraft para fazer minigames, duplicar casas e transformar blocos comuns em ouro. Você também escreverá programas podem levá-lo automaticamente a uma viagem de teletransporte por todo o mundo do Minecraft; o ajudarão a construir grandes monumentos, pirâmides, florestas e muito mais num piscar de olhos; podem criar passagens secretas que se abrem ao ativar uma chave oculta; criarão uma cidade fantasma assustadora, que some e reaparece em outro lugar; para construir blocos raros, irão mostrar exatamente onde escavar; com eles você poderá realizar um feitiço para que uma cascata de flores (ou dinamite, se for ousado!) siga cada um dos seus movimentos; podem criar travessuras com armadilhas de lava terríveis e maldições que causam grandes inundações. Mesmo que você seja um expert ou um novato no jogo, verá o Minecraft sob uma nova perspectiva, aprendendo, ao mesmo tempo, os conceitos básicos de programação. É claro que você poderia passar o dia todo garimpando pedras preciosas ou construindo sua mansão manualmente, mas, com o poder do Python, esses dias acabaram! Neste livro, o programa é compatível com Windows 7 ou versões posteriores, com OS X 10.10 ou versões posteriores ou com o Raspberry Pi (consulte a última página para informações detalhadas sobre os requisitos).

This is the first book I used to try and teach my 6th grader how to program. I started with game creation using Unity and C#. While we were able to create and publish a successful game, I did not feel as though he really understood what aspect of the game creation was "programming". It was much clearer using this book. While there were many times in which he just wanted to continue playing Minecraft rather than moving on to the next lesson, I felt it was important to just be patient and let him play. Its key that he associates coding with fun. We did not complete the lessons in this book because he 'lost' it. Because of this, I turned to the other one on his shelf called "Python For Kids" by Jason Briggs.

I'm finding that Python for Kids is much more in-line with what I want him to learn. It does a good job catering to kids and I find myself learning a few things! I'm thrilled that he is grasping the concepts surprisingly fast (especially classes, objects, and inheritance) but I think this has a lot to do with me being able to reference bits of code from the Unity tutorials as well as those of this book.

I don't think I got him hooked yet but I'm trying very hard.

I write software for a living, and bought this book for my kids . As someone who thinks in code, I found this book an odd mix of topics at various levels of technical depth, but still some hand waving. For example, using a library that reads from binary files, but not explaining what binary files are. But if that example didn't make any sense to you, then the book may be cool for you.

Great introduction to manipulating your Minecraft worlds with the help of Python.

[John Haworth · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a good mixture of practical examples and fun activities to do with Minecraft. What was particularly good is the ability to practice and play with the code structure and see the results immediately in the Minecraft world.

This was a fun book.

Good way to learn programming.

I have been learning how to teach programming as I wish to volunteer soon.
Although, with the recent variants, it won't likely happen for a while (COVID)

3.8/5

I feel very goodabout this book and I got a lot out of this. I got a little confused and I prefer HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Still good though.My

great but only if you have python ( i don't)
