Was just messing around on some minecraft servers. That's all you really can do with them
Thoughtful gab:
Yesterday my 6 year old sister came over. She has played a few video games, like castle crashers on xbox, but not really any 1st person games. I had her play Minecraft. It was difficult to try and describe the game to a 6 year old. First thing she did was dig. She dug two blocks down and made a long trench. Over the course of about 2 hours she put a roof on her trench, added doors to the end, made torches, and expanded the inside. Of course I told her how to make the doors and all the crafting, but I wouldn't do anything for her and I tried to make her remember and figure things out and not just tell her what to do. It was fun and a neat experiment. Just see how someone who has never really played a first person game before handles it. I was surprised how well she remembered how to make a torch from scratch, using the charcoal method, and I was surprised how well she picked up digging and building. Out of everything, the thing she had the most trouble with was jumping. She would ask me to get her up a hill because she still had trouble moving. She would forget to press W to go forward and furious wave the mouse around or she would move forward, then jump, but had trouble coordinating them at the same time. Once she perfects navigation I'm sure she expand her level of play much faster. It will be interesting to watch the progress whenever she comes over.
