00:00:04.420 --> 00:00:08.320
Stampy: I wonder what Stacy is up to?

00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:17.380
Stacy: Woah, I think I'm in the right place.

00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:19.300
This is amazing!

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:22.160
I feel like I'm back in Minecraft!

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:23.700
Hello.

00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:24.700
How are you?

00:00:24.700 --> 00:00:26.760
Hello?

00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:30.740
Oh, there's a creeper. You don't do anything, do you?

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:31.380
Katie: Stacy?

00:00:31.420 --> 00:00:32.180
Stacy:Hi, Katie?

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:32.740
Katie: Yes!

00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:33.960
Welcome to Minecraft.

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:34.780
Stacy: Thank you!

00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:36.900
Katie: Come on in!

00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:39.620
Stacy: This is amazing.

00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:42.740
So you work here every day as a developer,
right?

00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:44.320
Katie: Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.789
I'm a developer on the Minecraft marketplace
team.

00:00:46.789 --> 00:00:49.310
Stacy: How many coding languages do you know?

00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:51.980
Katie: In my career I've probably worked with
over a dozen.

00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:52.980
Stacy: A dozen?

00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:53.980
Katie: Yeah.

00:00:53.980 --> 00:00:57.539
Stacy: So now, you wouldn't happen to know
anything about this little golem guy that

00:00:57.539 --> 00:00:59.040
calls himself "the Agent"?

00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:05.800
Katie: We use the Agent to do things that
Steve or Alex can't, like go across lava.

00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:10.009
Stacy: Well, I want to learn how to code,
and they want to learn how to code, so what

00:01:10.009 --> 00:01:13.050
is one of the first things that you need to
know when you're learning?

00:01:13.050 --> 00:01:15.550
Katie: Well, you need to learn how to use
loops.

00:01:15.550 --> 00:01:16.550
Stacy: Ok.

00:01:16.550 --> 00:01:20.890
Katie: Loops are things that developers write
to give commands to a computer that can be

00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:22.050
run over and over again.

00:01:22.050 --> 00:01:25.640
Stacy: Got it, so I think there's actually
some of that coming up in the levels ahead,

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.869
so go ahead and give loops a try.

00:01:28.869 --> 00:01:32.860
In the next level, you can use a loop to move
the Agent along the path.

00:01:32.860 --> 00:01:38.110
Drag the repeat block into the workspace and
place the move forward block inside the repeat

00:01:38.110 --> 00:01:39.170
block.

00:01:39.170 --> 00:01:43.750
This tells the computer to do the same thing
many times in a row without having to drag

00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:46.340
a whole bunch of blocks into the workspace.

00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:50.640
You can choose how many times to repeat by
putting a number in the repeat block.

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.700
You can put turns and multiple commands in
the repeat block too, but for now try using

00:01:55.700 --> 00:01:59.000
a repeat to move the Agent forward a few steps.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.649
Remember, if you get stuck on a puzzle you
can always hit the blue "reset" button and

00:02:02.649 --> 00:02:03.759
try again.

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:08.770
If you are thinking about having a cool job
like Katie's, go ahead and click the "show

00:02:08.770 --> 00:02:11.440
code" button when you finish every level.

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:15.000
That's going to actually show you the Javascript
code that someone like Katie uses when she's

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.840
actually programming Minecraft.

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.350
So anyway, thank you so much!

00:02:18.350 --> 00:02:19.599
Katie: Yeah, good luck everyone!
