I’ve been jotting down some ideas on content for a Minecraft command programming workshop to run over school holidays. I’ve some experience in real-time programming in the real world, and I’d like to apply some of that experience to make a programming workshop that introduces some real-time and multitasking programming concepts.
The question I’m asking myself now is how much should the workshop be about programming concepts and how much should it be about just getting familiar with commands in Minecraft? Probably I’ll keep focusing on programming concepts, but I might change course if it turns out the kids are really keen to learn more about commands.
