For my Capstone project, I am learning about how Java works with Minecraft. One reason why I chose this topic is that I am curious to understand why Java is better or more used than other programming languages and how it became popular. Also, it is really amazing when I play Minecraft and I am in a world, and how Java can change what I can see and can do. An interesting fact I learned when I was looking at a couple of coding websites, they almost always use Java for Minecraft training. Also, I never thought about how coding can create games like Clash Royale, Xbox games, and more. I always used to just play video games, without thinking about how they were made, and this project helps me realize how most games are made. With Minecraft, I can see how coding can change the game and that is why I am so interested in this project. Something that blows my mind is how lines of code can create a world where a hundred thousand people can play on at once. Also, I am excited to interview two experts, one of them being my brother’s Java teacher Brian, and my uncle’s friend, Dan. Finally, I chose this topic because I am interested in Minecraft, and also interested in how Minecraft was made using lines of code from Java. I didn’t have a problem coming up with the main inquiry question. I had trouble with the sub-questions because I was not sure what would support the main inquiry question and how I would approach the research.
