This is more difficult because I don’t know python (or any language for that matter)

I open LXterminal:

cd /home/pi/Desktop/mcpi cd /home/pi/Desktop/mcpi/api/Python/mcpi python import minecraft as minecraft

then python shows >>>

To connect with the new API:

mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() mc.postToChat("Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey") mc.postToChat("Hey, beautiful day")

mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() mc.setBlock(0,0,0,46) mc.setBlocks(0,0,0,10,10,10,3)

The latter creates a block of dirt, 10x10x3.

Minecraft – Hide and Seek – a really simple game of hide and seek for Minecraft.
Minecraft – Auto Bridge – an absolutely brilliant utility (even if I say so myself) which automatically creates a bridge in front of you, no more falling off cliffs, no more having to swim across oceans, the auto bridge allows you to walk straight on

Use Python to make your first game on Raspberry Pi in our easy to follow step by step tutorial
In this tutorial we’re going to be remaking the classic game, Pong. To do this, we’ll be using a Python module called Pygame. Pygame is great, because it allows the programmer to create 2D games without having to worry about things such as rendering the graphics in too much detail. The main portion of the code will be the code that makes up the game’s structure and logic.

Build your very own media centre out of a Raspberry Pi to save on space and money using XBMC
One of the great things about the Raspberry Pi is that it not only has plenty of power to play back high definition video, but it also has the HDMI output to allow you to do so. This would naturally lead the media enthusiasts among you to think of the possibilities for using the RasPi as a media centre, but the list of advantages don’t stop there. It has network support to stream video, has a ridiculously small form factor so you can tuck it out the way, and of course the low price doesn’t hurt.
