This builds in from blog 2 which was laying one block underneath the player. Then another block undereneath that. It ends up lookng like this:

This blog builds on from that and lays a Rainbow road spanning across from right to left from the centre of the players position. The code looks like this:

Points to not the first coordinates are x they are the blocks left to right of the player. Pink is directly where the player is set x-1 is left one block and so on. X +1 is one to the right of the player. Furthermore the second cooordinates Y are all -1as they are all set to 1 below the player.

Here is what your output looks like:

Thats it! well done you have extended your code to walk in colourful style.

M:EE Make Code blog 2: Get coding.

This first real coding in Minecraft is usually walking blocks, so lets see how you would achieve this with Make Code.

Step 1: Ensure you have followed blog 1. link:

http://warksjammy.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/mee-make-code-blog-1-getting-started.html

Step 2: Drag in the 'On Chat' command from 'Player' menu on the left.  

 

Step 3: From the 'Blocks' menu drag in the 'Place' command. Using the drop down list chose the block that you want to drop. By changing the middle 'Y' value you can lay blocks blow Alex. -1 is one block below and -2 one below that and so on.

Step 4: Repeat this with as many further blocks as you wish I did another block.

Step 5: In the 'On Chat' block type in 'Set', this will act at the trigger to launch the code in game.

Step 6: Click on the button in Make code that is a red square in picture above it should be a Green this will start off the command.

Step 7: Go back to  M:EE and press 't' on the keyboard, then type in 'Set' you should see blocks appear beneath your character (see below).

 

Extension: Walking blocks.......

Step 1: Remove the 'On Chat' command.

Step 2: Replace it with 'Forever' loop from 'Loops' menu

Step 3: Add in a time delay from the 'GamePlay' menu.

Step 4: Try rerunning your code by click on the Green/Red button. You should end up with this code:

  

And this output:

Well done! you have completed your first mod in M:EE.

Step 2: Load up a new world, or use an existing one.


Step 3: Load the Code Connection app. See below:

Step 4: Load up the Make code on website https://minecraft.makecode.com/ and open new project. This step may not be needed but was the only way I have found so far to get Make Code to launch.

Step 5: Switch to the Code Connection app and copy the IP address.  

Step 6: In M:EE press 't' on the keyboard to open chat, paste in the server address by pressing control v. Press enter to execute. 

Step 7: Then this should load....

However I found it to be a little bit hit and miss so you may need to try a few times. This might just be my isolated experience.

Step 8: Chose which ap you would like to use I chose Make Code. This should then appear on the left half of the screen like thus with M:EE on the right.

Step 9: See the next blog for your first coding adventure.
