I just got a quick flash from an RSS feed about the release of the Pi edition of Minecraft, the World-building game. The post has since been unpublished, but details of the download were briefly available (even if the download itself was not accessible on the URL they gave).<\/p>\n

If you’ve been following the thread over at the Foundation<\/a>, \u00a0you’ll know this isn’t ‘new’ news – a leaked version has been available for a few weeks. Admittedly, this is only a version 0.1 Alpha version, so there are some bugs, but this is exciting news!<\/p>\n

If you want more information about the leaked version and some experimentation with the API, head on over to Stuff About Code<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I will report the official release of the game as soon as it comes up!<\/p>\n

In the meantime, here’s a link to the official Pi edition website if you want to find out more, or even subscribe to their RSS feed:<\/p>\n
