you could use input!

Sharing and Cloning Minecraft
Pi Programs
When the Minecraft community meets the Raspberry Pi community, good things hap-
pen. Many people enjoy sharing the programs they have made for Minecraft Pi so that
you can clone them or make copies of them to use on your own Raspberry Pi. You can
ind shared Minecraft Pi programs on the Minecraft Pi forum (
www.minecraft
forum.net/forum/216-minecraft-pi-edition
)
or the Raspberry Pi forum
their code, try it out and help improve it. Why not have a go at downloading Martin
O'Hanlon's Minecraft Cannon program? his program places a cannon where your
player is positioned in Minecraft Pi. You use the LXTerminal command line to move
the cannon up or down before iring blocks. Check out the video at
www.youtube.
com/watch?v=6NHorP5VuYQ
to see it in action.
1.
Open an LXTerminal window. If your Raspbian image is not up to date you may
not be able to install the required applications, so irst update your application
packages by typing the following command into the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
2.
Next, type the following line:
sudo apt-get install git-core
his command installs an application called
git-core
that lets you clone the
code that Martin has placed on a repository called
github
.
3.
After
git-core
is installed, type the following code to have
git-core
create
a clone of the Cannon program on your Raspberry Pi:
cd ~
git clone ;
