The Big Adventure:
Crafty Crossing
YOU HAVE ARRIVED
at your last big adventure! You will be using all the skills you
have learned on your journey to create your own fully functional mini-game in
Minecraft. You will realise just how versatile the Minecraft world is, as well as how you
can achieve remarkable things just by using simple commands to get and set a block,
and get and set the players' positions.
You will also learn a new program skill and use
threading
to make your program do
more than one thing at once.
This project can be extended in many ways, and once you've finished, it doesn't mean
you're at the end of your adventure: instead, you will have arrived at the starting point
for creating even more creative, sophisticated and challenging games.
A Game within.a Game
The game you're going to create here is called Crafty Crossing. The objective of the
game is to collect diamonds and get to the other side of the arena before the timer runs
out, all the time navigating past a series of pesky obstacles that are designed to slow
you down.
You score points for each diamond you collect, and your points are then multiplied by
the number of seconds left on the clock when your player reaches the other side.
