This lecture explains how to connect Minecraft to the visualmodder server

Writing messages in the Q&A box is the easiest way to send messages to the instructor

This lecture shows how to assemble a first tower step by step

How we can make our towers more beautiful

We continue the previous example and see how to use multiple materials

This lecture shows how to download the resources of the Udemy lessons and how to load programs into the program editor

This lecture gives the hints needed to create a cake made of wool.

This lecture goes step by step in creating a cake made of wool.

This quiz improves the understanding of basic geometric shapes

This lecture gives the hints for expanding the first simple tower programs into creating a completed crenelated castle with a moat filled with water

This lecture shows how to create a crenelated castle with a moat filled with water

This lecture uses many of the actions available in the code editor to create new programs in Minecraft

Short quiz on how to name a function

This lecture goes through the objects, mobs, items and particles that can be created with the robot

Minecraft has a huge amount of different block types. This lecture shows how to filter the object lists.

This lecture explains the basic steps to create an aquarium with a train track around it

This lecture has the purpose of repeating what we have learned until now and creates a beautiful aquarium with a train track around it

This lecture shows how to move and turn the robot while creating an artistic sun made of blocks

A quick test to gain confidence with angles

This lecture shows how the vertical axe of the robot can be changed to create slanted buildings or even a sphere

This lecture shows how to slow down the programs in order to see how the blocks are put. Slowing down the run of programs allows also for the recording ot "Time lapse" movies

This lecture shows in an emulation, how functions can call each other

This lecture shows the advantages of organizing the code in functions and how to create and use them

Motivating children to organize code with functions

This lecture explores how functions can be called automatically by self created potions

This lecture explains potential issues with the naming of functions

This lecture explores how functions can be called automatically by events happening during gameplay

This lecture explains the usage of the drawing functionality by creating a zoo with animals and visitors

In this quiz we will repeat some of the basic concepts for creating a drawing

This lecture repeats the drawing functionality and shows an advanced use of it

This lecture repeats the drawing functionality to create a house in Minecraft

This lecture introduces random numbers by creating fun random constructions

In this quiz, we are reinforcing the understanding of random numbers

This lecture explains what variables are and shows their advantage in creating a simple program

This lecture focuses on doing math using variables

This lecture explains how to use logic in your programs to create a tower with random materials

This lecture explains how to use variables to build a pyramid

This lecture explains how to use the "count" loop to build a pyramid

This lecture practices the use of the "count" loop in order to create an artistic carpet

This lecture practices loops in order to create gigantic ice-creams

This lecture show further uses of the "count" loop

This lecture shows how to create parameters and how to use them to make functions adapt to our needs while playing

This lecture show the usefulness of parameters by creating custom length bridges

This lecture introduces "timed" blocks, uses them for games, creates a parametrizable timer made of blocks

This lecture introduces the "while" loop and shows its working with a simple emulation

This lecture introduces the "while" loop by creating an automatic digger that stops at the bottom of the world

This lecture explains the theory of cartesian coordinate systems

This section shows examples of how to use the cartesian coordinate system to mathematically position towers.

This lecture simplifies the theory behind polar coordinate systems, making it easy to understand.

This section shows examples of how to use the polar coordinate system to create beautiful shapes such as roses and hearts.
