Minecraft Diary

Compose a diary entry addressing the following:

  • What Minecraft problem did you decide to solve? What does your program do?

  • Describe how your Program figures out how to perform the task or solve the problem

  • Discuss one (or more) ways that working with a partner was different from just doing the project by yourself.

  • Describe one point where you got stuck. Then discuss how you figured it out.


Writing a computer program for your Minecraft World

  • writing code for a program that performs a specified task using a suitable programming language

  • setting out the program code clearly

  • documenting the program with comments

  • testing and debugging the program to ensure that it works on a sample of expected cases.
