Thanks. My son has been asking me how to write games, and has spent some time looking around in the code for the Raspberry Pi version of Minecraft. Maybe we can make some headway in this version because even dumb old Dad can handle 500 lines.

Why is it called "Minecraft in 500 lines of Python" when the slides mention 8000 lines?

The original project[1] was a very simple 500 line implementation of Minecraft. There is a fork[2] of that project with 8000 lines of code and many more features.

I cannot recommend pyglet strongly enough for learning graphics and game programming, it is so quick to get started with.

I wonder if anyone has written some learn to code tutorials with it.

Isn't "import minecraft" enough?

Yes, this 500 lines statement is somewhat misleading. This program isn't written on Python, rather on a large specific library which does a lot of heavy lifting.

It's better than nothing, though, to be able to look at an app dissected even to a few large blocks.

Kudos.
