"Hey Alex! I just watched this TV show about robots, and trying to create sentient beings. You're a whizz at coding stuff. Think you can do it?"Said Jake, a good friend of mine. "Well I'm up for the challenge" I replied, and started coding, taking a few breaks to avoid RSI. After about a week or two, I had finished, and installed it into Minecraft as a mod. It should hopefully create a sentient entity in my world. I brought Jake over to see, and loaded Minecraft. At first we were kinda disappointed because it initially showed the crash menu "oh well" I said "it was quite unlikely anyway. After all, people who have coding knowledge far superior to me haven't been able to create actually sentient and alive AI with full on feelings like humans". Right when I'm about to close Minecraft the screen suddenly goes pink and distorts, freezing the screen for about a second or two, before becoming dark green with tons of r binary code that say LOADING, and the numbers are changing, so the words move across the screen. And they start to get faster and faster, and the screen fades to white, and cuts to black. And suddenly everything is normal, and I'm on the Minecraft main menu. "Holy creeper... what just happened?" Jake states, he tends to use Minecraftified versions of normal expressions "I honestly have no idea" I answer back. I decide to load a new world called Sentience. The thing takes ages to load, and when it does, the game doesn't seem quite the same. The shading is like sonic ether's unbelievable shaders, and it starts off with the character lying on the ground, showing their perspective. Strange, I didn't add those. After the character looks around, it reminds me strongly of these Minecraft animations done on blender, complete with motion blur, as if the game used the unreal engine. I press F5, which brings me to a sort of cinematic camera, clicking the mouse changes how the camera is done (namely, a kind of spectator mode where you can fly around, one which is like when spectating in thirdperson, and I can rotate the camera, and one that's similar to that, but the character is not at the centre of the camera). I choose view 3. "Oh my... ghast" Jake finally lets out. I have done it. I have created a sentient being in Minecraft... just... wow.
A while later, and after we had brought Joe over, I decided the character needed a friend, and considering Joe was the only other person with Minecraft in our local area, we were able to open my world to LAN, and import a copy of my code into his Minecraft as I had also saved a backup on my memory stick. Whilst we were there, I set the other character to be female. "Hey, what gives? Why are you making my character a girl?" he responded with. Joe's character was a maroon fox with green eyes, and mine was a white (with a bit of grey) wolf with a creeper shirt and blue eyes. "Well hey; maybe we could trigger a love interest or something." I answered back. "Fine" he sighed. Joe's character spawned quite some distance away from mine, but as we watched they were getting closer...
