¿Juegas juegos en la computadora? Si lo haces, probablemente has jugado Minecraft. Cuando el creador de Minecraft, Markus Persson, era joven, no estaba muy interesado en los juegos. Estaba más interesado en las instrucciones de programación en el manual de la computadora. Cuando Persson tenía ocho años, escribía código para sus propios juegos de computadora.

A los dieciocho años, Persson consiguió el trabajo de sus sueños como programador de videojuegos. En 2009, diseñó Minecraft en tan solo un fin de semana. En el juego, los jugadores usan bloques para construir lo que desean. Persson quería que los jugadores usaran su imaginación, y la idea dio sus frutos. En la actualidad, Minecraft es uno de los juegos de computadora más populares del mundo. Aunque Persson duda que alguna vez supere este éxito, continúa desarrollando juegos, mientras los fanáticos esperan el próximo desarrollo.

Do you play computer games? If you do, you’ve probably played Minecraft. When Minecraft creator Markus Persson was young, he wasn’t very interested in the games themselves. He was more interested in the programing instructions in the computer’s manual. By the time Persson was eight years old, he was writing code for his own computer games.

When he was eighteen, Persson landed his dream job as a video game programmer. In 2009, he designed Minecraft in a single weekend. In the game, players use blocks to build whatever they choose. Persson wanted to let players use their imaginations, and the idea paid off. Today, Minecraft is one of the most popular computer games in the world. Although Persson doubts he will ever top this success, he continues to develop games, while fans wait for what’s next.
