#Minecraft Turtles 3D
We've been using the Raspberry Pi edition of Minecraft in our Code Club and trying out the the MCPiPy API.
This is an attempt to recreate LOGO Turtle movements in Minecraft, by placing blocks along their paths. Still very basic.
(Not to be mixed up with the Turtles of the Computercraft Mod: http://computercraft.info/wiki/Turtle)
MCPiPy, and therefore Minecraft Turtles, can also be used with the standard PC version of Minecraft. You will need a CraftBukkit server running the Raspberry Juice plugin. There is a good blog post on the MCPiPy website describing the steps to do this.
##Installation
git clone --recursive git@github.com:tombh/mc-turtles.git
If your Minecraft server is a different machine from where you are using this code then you can set custom values for the server's address and port in settings.py. You can copy settings.py.sample as a starting point.
To draw a flower in your Minecraft world simply issue: python flowers.py
##Examples
Hello World
from turtlecraft import Turtlecraft
T = Turtlecraft()
T.chat("Hello World")Basic Commands
# Move the turtle forward
T.fd(steps)
# Rotate the turtle right or left
T.rt(angle)
T.lt(angle)
# Tilt the turtle forwards and backwards
T.tilt_fd(angle)
T.tilt_bk(angle)
# Set an area the size of <square_length>^3 to the AIR block
T.clear(cubic_length)
# Set the current block type. Similar to traditional turtle's pencolor()
# There are hundreds of block types, but for now just added a list of possible blocks:
#['GRASS','AIR','DIRT','STONE','TNT','GOLD_ORE','LAVA','MELON']
# Default is Grass
T.setBT(blocktype)
# Pen up / pen down - While moving the turtle leaves a trail of blocks or not
T.pu()
T.pd()Accessing the turtle's properties
# It can be useful to find out where your turtle is (it's invisible so far!)
T.Turtle.getTilePos()
#You can also set its position
T.Turtle.setPos(x,y,z)
# What block type is set at the moment?
T.Turtle.getBlockType()
# Which direction is the turtle facing?
T.Turtle.getDir()##Contributing
Feedback and PRs are very welcome.
To run tests you will need some dependencies, so Virtualenv can be useful for that:
# In the project root:
virtuaenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
# To run tests:
nosetests spec/*Some more Block Types
