Re: Minecraft -- My ds12 has been working with a Minecraft feature called "Redstone circuits." It seems to be a simulator for electronic logic circuits, which can be set up visually on the computer screen, including components and wiring, and then implemented in Minecraft.
He has learned quite a bit the last week or so about things like AND and OR gates, etc., and the associated logic. He is sitting with me right now designing a Redstone binary to decimal converter.
I try to comfort myself that his Minecraft obsession has some learning value....
