This is very cool. I got it build/running in < 3 minutes in Linux.
My boy love Minecraft. I like to use this as base to teach him more about programming.
Any suggestion on small projects that can be addon / mod use this code as base.
I am thinking a series of coding exercises that can be hack/add on to this:
Add a command/mod to:
1) Draw line, Square, Triangle.
2) Draw Circle, Ellipse, Cone, Cylinder
3) Build Car, Airplane
4) Build Space Ship
5) Putting picture of his own face on the block.
... Any other suggestions?
Each small projects take about 1-2 hours build on skill sets that learn before. It should be simple and fun to do with goals of encourage kids to learn programming.
My boy finished all the CS classes in Khan Academy and seems to enjoys them.
If anyone else has strong interested in this, I will see if I (we - group of us) can develop this as a new Khan Academy CS class and contribute it to KA.
