It has some fun binary logic mechanics.
Nicholas Wood
I shit you not saw this book in Chapters last weekend
Ryan Kelly
If you're even thinking of Minecraft, get into the game instead of the code instead. Let's Players gets 1M views day 1 upload and they probably make 1M dollars through Twitch and Patreon day 1 too.

>implying computer science is a discipline and has to be taught
Jonathan Ramirez
you teach yourself in minecraft
Elijah Collins
I think one of the mods like Industrycraft or whatever it's called had a "computer block" which you could interact with like a sign, except it had a full Lua environment and basic host naming so you could chain computers together and make a primitive network. it was pretty neat desu
Jeremiah Richardson
Degenerates like you belong on the cross
Joshua Adams
Computercraft
Jason Adams
yeah here it is
Jordan Jones
Aren't they the exact same thing?
Thomas Lee
>never learn how to use the computers
>they are just LUA
fuck I've been missing out
David Moore
Wait people still play this game let alone watch other people play it?
Landon Brown
yes
Jackson Powell
The primary audience is children, you know how kids demand to watch the same Disney movie a thousand times? A kid can click through 30-50 Minecraft videos a day every day, and they often accidentally click the advertisements generating additional revenue.
Being a kid oriented youtuber can net you a nice chunk of cash.

To be fair I was using computercraft several years ago. Like, maybe 2011 or 2012? God I don't remember. It's been a long ass time

didn't they all switch over to the indigo branding?
Leo Moore
Minecraft by itself probably not, but it can be a gateway I think (if the player chooses to look into redstone / mods)
Jason Clark
Do you have an actual question or did you just want an excuse to post your furry image on Jow Forums
Asher Long
minecraft...
Justin Gray
isn't 9minecraft that site which bundles free malware with stolen mods?
Leo James
why that pic
Angel Cox
It's from f-list
Elijah Howard
Okay, but why
Ian Carter
>didn't they all switch over to the indigo branding?
No, I think they keep some Chapters and Coles around. Save money on branding, I guess.
Also, is it just me or do all Sam's computer book suck?
David Williams
Everytime I download minecraft and install some cool tech mods I end up playing 1 session and deleting everything after that because it gets boring.
fml why can't I be autistic and enjoy things
Lincoln Lee
Yes, about as much as being a furry promotes not being a degenerate
Noah White
This basically
You can stick some XOR, NAND, AND etc gates and make your own ALU. Eventually a microprocessor etc.
Elijah White
I'm literally autistic and I've never been able to get into Minecraft the way my NT friends do.
I'm a furry degenerate and I love it.
Parker Robinson
When I was in high school my programming project was just making minecraft mods, pretty interesting to examine.
Cooper Garcia
Also no, Mine craft doesn't teach you any skills that can be utilized when perusing a CSE degree or help you pretend to have one.
Adrian Thompson
Posting furry outside of /trash/ should be a bannable offense.
Aiden Bennett
Why are people still buttmad about furry?
Benjamin Gutierrez
I don't, I always hated them and still hate them.
Oliver Flores
I actually play Minecraft with my 7 and 8 year old brothers. I’m a CS major. I’m kinda interested in building basic hardware components in the game with the red stones/other blocks, but I’m too lazy to deal with the movement/building in the actual game(if that makes sense). It’s tedious to build something complex. I don’t like video gaymes, just play it to help bond with family.
Julian Davis
Fair enough. It's not everyone's thing.
Aaron Gonzalez
I don't know*
Thomas Clark
>bitching about furries on Jow Forums of all places

Ethan Brooks
Nobody likes furries, fag.
Zachary Parker

Gavin Young
>does my pen can teach me math ??
Nathan Lewis
>complaining about furries on Jow Forums
Bentley Roberts
depends on how you play it i guess? computers are very simple when it comes to low-level hardware and you can build one in minecraft without any mods
Nathan Morales

your kind is not welcomed here
Joshua Lopez

Chase Cox

Jayden Hernandez
OpenComputers is quite fun/terrifying to make the things that make the computers as you need to do all those PCBs and shit to make the chips.
Levi Reyes
mc edit lets you copy and paste things you make
