'Minecraft' Fan Finds an Opportunity to Program BASIC Code In-game

You may have seen Minecraft used to teach programming or even mods that allow in-game programming however, writing BASIC code within Minecraft? It's almost impossible... until now. SethBling created a BASIC interpreter to allow you to compile and execute simple programs and scripts in Mojang’s world-building game. It boils down to using a lot of commands, but it really works. minecraft servers You can not only print text, but have in-game robots ("turtles") perform tasks. Are you looking to dig a tunnel? You can easily create a digging script and let the bot do all the work.

Suffice it to say that you won't write complex software in a game world that wasn't designed for it. Code is notoriously slow due to Minecraft's 20Hz operation clock (you can never perform more than 20 commands per second) and it slows down the more you use it. But, you don't have to create a whole week of the interpreter by yourself. SethBling has provided the required material, so it's just an issue of installing the add-on and brushing up on your IF/THEN statement.
