You want to run the popular game Minecraft on your Raspberry Pi.
Step-by-Step
Mojang, the original developers of Minecraft, have ported it to the Raspberry Pi.
To install the software, you need to be using Raspbian (Recipe 1.4). Enter the following commands to download and install Minecraft (Figure 4-9):
| $ wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.minecraft.net/pi/minecraft-pi-0.1.1.tar.gz $ tar -zxvf minecraft-pi-0.1.1.tar.gz $ cd mcpi $ ./minecraft-pi |
Discussion
To get Minecraft to fit on the Raspberry Pi, the developers made some shortcuts in the graphics code. This means that you can only play the game directly on the Raspberry Pi with the keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected directly to it. It will not work over a remote connection.
