Or take the advanced class, RedPower 2.

Caveat, it is hard to get into MC modding, due to the relatively difficult learning curve, and getting the environment setup (Eclipse, MCP'd Java code, etc) so, although fun, its not my first pick.

There was a game released a few years ago though (5?) that involved landing on a planet and writing small scripts for controlling robots used in exploring the planet. I cannot remember the title, but it was easy to learn the scripting, I think it was based on Java...

Comment Tracking? (Score 1) 540

Define "tracking". If it is an RFID (near field, like HID cards) then this cannot be used to pinpoint some kid walking around town while he should be in school. Likely it is a card reader that must be swiped by the student... so big deal. We used this in university to gain access to labs. The uproar is more likely parents who just don't RTFA. Caveat; I didn't RTFA either :)-
