Greetings, Oklahoma City tech community! Do you have a
son or daughter (or niece, nephew, grandchild,
super-friendly neighborhood child) who loves
Minecraft? Does said Minecraftian have an interest in
learning how to program? If so, this is your lucky
day. The Oklahoma City Java User Group would like to
invite you and 0 or more or pint-sized precocious
progeny to our July session where we'll be offering an
introduction to programming using Minecraft modding as
the goal.
<br>
<br>
<b>What will we be doing?</b> We're going to be
getting an introduction to various programming
concepts (types, variables, loops, conditionals,
classes, etc) using the Java programming language.
Having a concrete, usable goal is always more
interesting, so we'll learn these concepts as we
develop (and RUN!) simple Minecraft mods.<br>
<br>
<b>Will my <i>CHILD<Relationship></i> be an
expert programmer or modder when we're done?</b>
Probably not, but the hope is that this session will
be enough to flatten the learning curve a bit, leaving
each child well-equipped for further study, either
self-directed or with you, as well as with a taste for
how fun programming can be.<br>
<br>
<b>How old does you mini-me need to be?</b> That's
entirely up you. If you have, say, a 6 year-old who's
comfortable with compilers and API docs, then that's
old enough for us.
<br>
<br>
<b>Is there anything we need to install before we
come?</b> There certainly is. Our time will be
limited, so it would be extremely helpful to have a
basic, working environment already set up. While you
are free to use any IDE you want, I will be using
NetBeans, the Free (and TOTALLY AWESOME) IDE from
Oracle, which can be downloaded from <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://netbeans.org"
target="_blank">
http://netbeans.org</a>. You will also need a
working Java environment, as well as a relatively
current copy of the Minecraft Forge plugin development
kit. I'll have detailed instructions at the end of
this email to help you set up your environment.<br>
<br>
<b>This sounds great? When and where is it?!</b> In a
departure from our normal schedule (which will be
significant only for normal JUG attendees), we will be
meeting on Monday, July 13 at 11:30AM at Prototek,
which is located at 10th and Hudson in Oklahoma City (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://goo.gl/maps/tD26c" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/maps/tD26c</a>).
You can park in the dirt lot Hudson, just north of
Park Place. Do not park ON Park Place, as I own both
that and Boardwalk, and my improvements there are
guaranteed to ruin you.<br>
<br>
<b>What should we bring to the session?</b> To
participate, you will obviously need a laptop to work,
with one per laptop per child being ideal. If you are
bringing multiple wee ones and need to share, that
would be fine. If you don't have a laptop and just
want to come listen, that will work as well. :)<br>
<br>
<b>That's right during lunch. What's wrong with you
people?</b> Nothing that some free pizza can't
solve, so bring your appetites!<br>
<br>
<b>Is there anything else we need to know?</b> That's
about it. Come prepared to have fun and learn. And
don't forget your questions!<br>
<br>
We're pretty excited about this session and hope to
see LOTS of kids come out for a fun time.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-size:36.0pt;color:red">Detailed
Pre-Meeting Instructions</span></b><br>
<br>
<br>
I made that really large for two reason: I really
wanted to use that formatting bar in Thunderbird that
I've ignored for so long, and I wanted to make sure
you don't miss this part. :) You *can* come and set up
your laptop at the meeting, but we won't have time to
do that as a group, so we'll have to keep moving while
you're setting up. If you have to do that, that's
fine. I hope to conscript a few of the JUG leaders to
act as workshop assistants in case anyone needs help
installing the various pieces. Another issue is
bandwidth: Prototek will let us use their wifi, but
regardless of their bandwidth, when two dozen people
start downloading all of the dependencies, it probably
won't be fast. :)<br>
<br>
What do you need to download then? These three things:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Java - <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html"
target="_blank">
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html</a>.
You will need the Java SDK, and I would suggest the
latest version, which is currently Java SE 8u45.
Download the installer appropriate for your platform
and install it.
<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
NetBeans - <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://netbeans.org/downloads/"
target="_blank">https://netbeans.org/downloads/</a>
- You will need the Java SE version. Again, get the
installer appropriate for your platform and install
it.
<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Minecraft Forge - <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.8-11.14.1.1341/forge-1.8-11.14.1.1341-src.zip"
target="_blank">
http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.8-11.14.1.1341/forge-1.8-11.14.1.1341-src.zip</a>
- There are platform-specific installers, but I'd
just get this zip
<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p>With those downloaded and installed, extract the zip
file (using the tool of your choice) in a directory.
Mac and Linux users can do this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt">
<p>$ cd ~<br>
$ mkdir MinecraftMods<br>
$ cd MinecraftMods<br>
$ unzip $PATH_TO_ZIP/forge-1.8-11.14.1.1341-src.zip<o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Wherever you've extracted, you will need to open a
shell (or command prompt) and run this command in that
directory:<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt">
<p>$ ./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace
--refresh-dependencies<o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p>(Windows users can leave off the leading ./)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Once that is done, open up NetBeans, then click File
| Open Project and navigate to this directory.
Hopefully, this directory will show up as a Gradle
project. If it does not, you will need to install the
Gradle plugin ( Go to Tools | Plugins and install
"Gradle Support".) After a few seconds, you should see
the project open in the Project view, with several
nodes beneath in the tree. To test things, click on
the project node (it should be called MinecraftMods),
click Tasks, Run, and runClient. After a few seconds,
you should see Minecraft start up. Congratulations,
you should be ready to go.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Whew! That's kind of hard to follow!</b> If you're
like me and like to see pictures, you can see these
same instructions on the NetBeans blog at
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/seamless_minecraft_forge_in_netbeans"
target="_blank">
https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/seamless_minecraft_forge_in_netbeans</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>But I don't like NetBeans. I like pain!</b> There
may be some Eclipse fans out there. If just
<i>have</i> to use Eclipse, you can generate the
Eclipse project files by running "gradlew eclipse".<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>NetBeans is nice and all, but I prefer to buy
things. Can I use IDEA?</b> Sure! Just run "gradlew
idea" to generate the project files.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Is that "all"?</b> Should be. Pretty simple, huh?
:P If you run into problems, try to do as much as you
can before you come, and you can either ask for help
on the JUG mailing list (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://okcjug.org/contact-us" target="_blank">http://okcjug.org/contact-us</a>)
or, worst-case scenario, wait until the day of the JUG
and get help there (though it would help to arrive
early ;).<o:p></o:p></p>
