Minecraft officially ported to Raspberry Pi

The creation of the official Minecraft Pocket Edition port for the Raspberry Pi minicomputer was announced on Saturday at the Minecon conference in Paris. Minecraft Pi Edition will be distributed free of charge, in addition, it will be possible to manipulate the game world programmatically, and in several languages. The creators of the game hope that the Pi Edition will not only be fun, but also a tool for learning programming, because programming in Minecraft is much more exciting than writing boring, dry learning examples or drawing turtles from Logo. The exact release date of the Pi Edition is still unknown, but Mojang says it will happen "soon."
