Public Domain 17 May 2018 www.cotswoldjam.org
To start Minecraft, click the Pi menu - Games - Minecraft Pi
Click Start Game then click an existing game or click Create New
Tab ↹ key to switch between the Minecraft world and the normal mouse on the desktop. The Tab ↹ key is to the left of the letter Q.
Esc for the game menu.
| Controls | |
|---|---|
| Mouse to look | 0 to select the sword |
| WSAD to move | E to reassign blocks 0–9 |
| Space to jump | Space twice to fly |
| Left-click to destroy a block | Space twice again to stop flying |
| Right-click to create a block | Space once while flying to go up |
| 1–9 to select a type of block | ⇧ Shift while flying to go down |
To code with Minecraft, leave Minecraft running. Press the Tab ↹ key to release the mouse from the game, so you can use the mouse on the desktop.
Click Pi menu - Programming - Python3 (IDLE) File menu - Open - python/minecraft-dungeon/myDungeon.py
from Dungeon import Dungeon
dungeon = Dungeon()
entrance = dungeon.create()
room1 = dungeon.newRoom(entrance, "N")
Run the program with Run menu - Run module. You should see a staircase down to a room.
Add more rooms to the program, for example:
room1 = dungeon.newRoom(entrance, "N")
hallway = dungeon.newRoom(room1, "N")
bedroom = dungeon.newRoom(hallway, "W")
lounge = dungeon.newRoom(hallway, "E")
Make a maze!
