In 2009, a deceptively simple block-based sandbox game first began appearing on computers. Now, eight years later, Minecraft is one of the best-selling games of all time. But how did this worldwide phenomenon come to be? Readers will learn about the game's creator, programmer Markus "Notch "Persson; Mojang, the company he founded to help make it a reality; and the team of people who've helped it reach its current popularity. Intriguing details, an in-depth timeline, and full-color photos will enthrall gaming enthusiasts eager to learn about the people that have broken the computer programming mold to create their favorite pastime. |
