description The rise of smart devices which in one way or another have an internal software development (mobile phones, home appliances, cars, among others), has increased the need for programmers. Since formal education has not been successful in meeting this need, several projects with tools that enable to learn programming in a simple and entertaining way have arisen, such as The Hour of Code (http://code.org), which bases its tutorials in different games. Following this trend, a variant of Minecraft, which allows creating and modifying the behavior of its objects in real-time using Smalltalk as a language, was created.

Since formal education has not been successful in meeting this need, several projects with tools that enable to learn programming in a simple and entertaining way have arisen, such as The Hour of Code (http://code.org), which bases its tutorials in different games. Following this trend, a variant of Minecraft, which allows creating and modifying the behavior of its objects in real-time using Smalltalk as a language, was created. La aparición de dispositivos inteligentes que de una forma u otra tienen un desarrollo de software interno (celulares, electrodomésticos, automóviles, entre otros), ha incrementado la necesidad de programadores. Dado que la educación formal no ha logrado cubrir esta necesidad, han surgido diversos proyectos con herramientas que permiten aprender a programar en forma sencilla y entretenida, como por ejemplo, La Hora del Código (http://code.org), que basa sus tutoriales en diferentes juegos. Dentro de esta línea se construyó una variante de Minecraft que permite en tiempo real crear y modificar el comportamiento de sus objetos utilizando Smalltalk como lenguaje.
