An other idea to do such a programming can be found at this ComputerCraft-Video ( ).įor more advanced users the possibilities of the turtle should be updated (new texture?) to have sensors and thus more possibilities to use these sensors to build/take blocks depending on the environment.Ĥ.) Next step will be a text-editor. In this stage the young programmer should learn the basic possibilities of programming, using if-statements and loops and so use the turtle to build 3D buildings.

It would be cool it we could use a blockly-like editor that exists for Lua (. See Computer-Craft for what I mean ( ).ģ.) The next step is to use a visual editor with blocks that give the syntax like in Scratch. In the future may be the turtle can be customized with colors and some funny accessories.Ģ.) With the remote control connected to your turtle you can move the turtle around by clicking on some buttons that stands for the basic actions of the turtle like movement (forward, backward, up, down), turn around (90° right or left), take a block (only in front of the turtle?), put a block (only in front of the turtle?). Use you remote control to 'tame' the wild turtle and have an own one. An idea like that is implemented for Minecraft in the mod ComputerCraftEDU ( ).ġ.) Catch a wild turtle, that lives in your world. This should happen in several steps, where the user and his turtle will have more and more abilities. The idea of the mod is, to let young ( and older) Minetest builder become a programmer. I'll later collect a list of all the mods that have nearly the same idea. May be some of the ideas and solutions can be used here in the TurtleMiner mod.

In fact there are many mods that have a similar idea but none if them has been finished. I present the mod as hopefully other users are interesting in being a part of it. It does not have the full abilities and is far away from the wanted state.
