Introduction to Programming Using Computer Craft in Minecraft

I’ve been messing around with ComputerCraft for a while now and I think it’s a great mod for Minecraft. Recently I’ve been working on a series of lessons to introduce programming using this mod and in particular the programmable turtles and terminals.

I’ve created a series of 7 lessons:

1. Command line and Conditionals
2. Variables and Boolean Logic
3. Logical Expressions
4. While and For Loops
5. Functions
6. ComputerCraft Communications
7. Programming Challenges

The lessons can be run on any version of Minecraft with the ComputerCraft mod installed. There is also an accompanying map you could use with programming challenge stations set up.

The lessons are on GitHub and the link to the map can be found on the main page.

I hope you find the lessons useful, please send feedback via Twitter @MrAHeard

As always, enjoy! 🙂
