<p class="MsoNormal">Coming from a child who has started proper coding recently (me.learnAllTheJava()) I have found the Minecraft Mod ComputerCraft (Wiki:
<a href="http://computercraft.info">http://computercraft.info</a>) was a great way to get me into Lua as it provided me with a reason to learn it. I wanted to be able to make things, do things in an environment I know well.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With it you can create "Computers" and "Turtle" (Computers that can move and perform actions with the world) that run an embedded Lua implementation and some custom API's that allow them to interact with the things around them and well
as use some normal Minecraft (most people refer to this as "Vanilla Minecraft") mechanics.</p>

around the screen. Interactions, collisions, explosions, animations, etc, were all quite complex to develop given it's purely code (with a few visual cues). Lua is very easy to learn but with the limited time I had with my year 9s it became a little too difficult.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Sorry for the cross posts but recently I have been quite absorbed with Codea as a programming language that can be a huge attraction for students of any year level in schools using iPads.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Has anyone taught programming on the iPad using this application? – it uses the language Lua, <a href="http://www.lua.org/about.html" target="_blank">http://www.lua.org/about.html</a>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I am already looking at creating a beginner’s tutorial of say 10 lessons and then an intermediate version. It looks like an amazing hook to get students into IT / gaming / programming in middle and senior years
considering they can do the work anywhere with their tablet on the bus, on the train, in the school playground, at home, in the car and oh I nearly forgot, the classroom
