Programming Tutorial with Minecraft Turtles -- Ep. 1: Intro to Turtles and If-Then-Else_End

In this series, I teach you about programming by using Turtles in Minecraft. This is meant as a general purpose programming tutorial, and should help you learn any language.
This episode covers the Turtle command line, several basic turtle commands, and "if-then-else-end" structures.

Music at the end is Cipher by Kevin MacLeod

This video was... something.. I'm 4th year in university computer science because of you and this video, Seth. Thanks for helping me discover my passion.

[SethBling]

I have a bachelor's degree in computer science, and I worked as a software engineer at Microsoft for three years.

(I know that this video is from about 8 years ago) Thank you, you helped me to like Computer Craft, now I understand a good deal of CC.

Had learnt a little lua for turtles a while back, needed a refresher and this was absolutely perfect. Great video and series, thank you!

After watching this:
I think I'mma go program some Turtles, this is an awesome video!

[robclswoverland]

Thank you for this video. These videos you've uploaded have been infinitely helpful to my understanding of how LUA functions. I recommend this series to everyone who would look to expand their use of Computer Craft turtles.

Having taken a computer science course this semester, I actually knew what Seth was talking about most of this episode. I feel brilliant.

I'm so glad i learned some programming back in the day. I'd have never thought this would help me in gaming some day xD

[orenazar]

Thanks so much for uploading this series, looking forward to learn more about turtles!

"Ok Turtles Off The bucket list!"

[SethBling]

Yeah, I'll probably get to it eventually, but I'm guessing it'll be a while. There's a lot to teach!

Great video, I can't wait to see more. I like that you are going slowly through and explaining the concepts.
Cheers

That "port" is actually supposed to be a 5-1/4" floppy drive. ;)

[RSHMAN]

can you make a new tutorial for TurtleOS 1.5

[BeckanWasHere]

Really good! Thanks for the help. Don't know anything about programming and this really helps me to understand! Nice done.

[doktorfluuf]

I think you ignited something in me, I learned more from this video than I have ever learned before in a video

NOTE: You can also use "ls" instead of "dir" :)
