Minecraft
is a popular online game released in 2009. I do not know much about
Minecraft, but my two sons are really into it. In Minecraft, you
are likely to be in a world of blocks. Everything is made of various
kinds of blocks, such as metal, wood, soil, or ice. You can create
whatever you want to make with these blocks. So many fantastic works on
YouTube may frighten you because they are beyond the limitation of your
imagination.
Creeper
is an enemy that you fight against in Minecraft. Literally, Creeper
seems to be made up of plants, watches and follows you eerily, and, once
in a while, explodes. You may be injured or killed.
Last
weekend, my younger son, who is in second grade at elementary school
and a big fan of Minecraft, asked me to create Creeper. Surprisingly, he
was already planing to use cardboard boxes as the frame work and
folding papers for the pixelated appearance.
The
process was way much tougher than I expected, but my son did make it
with my support. Actually, it took two or three hours but he continued
to work with fun. I respect his approach and endurance.
A fun-loving attitude and never-give-up spirit are what I really want my kids to have.
