Coding in Minecraft: Lesson 2 - Agent Move

What is "code" in the context of programming?

• Instructions written in a programming language that a computer can understand and execute

• A type of Minecraft block

• A chat message sent to friends

• A tool for drawing pictures

Which of the following best describes an "Agent" in Minecraft coding?

• A block used for building

• A programmable character or entity that students can control using code

• A type of animal in the game

• A chat command

What is "block code"?

• A command for the Agent

• A programming method using visual blocks that snap together to create programs

• A way to chat with friends

• A type of stone in Minecraft

What does an "event handler" do in a program?

• It creates new blocks

• It responds to specific actions or events, such as a user’s input or a command

• It moves the Agent randomly

• It builds houses in Minecraft

What is a "chat command" in Minecraft’s coding environment?

• A specific instruction that triggers the Agent to perform actions when entered

• A way to talk to other players

• A tool for building

• A type of block code

Which of the following is an example of using block code?

• Sending a chat command

• Typing a story in a text editor

• Dragging and snapping visual blocks together to make the Agent move forward

• Drawing a picture with a mouse

If you want your Agent to turn left when you type "left" in the chat, which programming concept would you use?

• Block code

• Event handler

• Agent

• Algorithmic thinking

How does a chat command help in controlling the Agent?

• It makes the Agent disappear

• It triggers the Agent to perform specific actions when the command is entered

• It builds a house automatically

• It changes the color of the Agent

Suppose you want to make your Agent build a staircase. Which of the following best describes how you would use algorithmic thinking for this task?

• Plan and code a sequence of steps for the Agent to move up and place blocks in a pattern

• Move the Agent randomly and hope it builds a staircase

• Use only chat commands without planning

• Ask another player to build it

You notice your Agent is not turning when you type the "turn" chat command. What is a logical first step to troubleshoot this problem?

• Ask your friend to fix it

• Check if the event handler for the "turn" chat command is correctly set up in your code

• Ignore the problem

• Delete your code and start over
