A Map?

Yes I've been working on a map..

Maybe you're rigt now asking, Why and what kind?

Well.. It's not going to be an adventure map or horror map or something like that...

No not at all... What it is going to be is a map that you need to code for

Well not really code but a bit like this Hour of Code

It lets you look at the code also, this will I be implementing also!

What should the name be of the map? Because I don't know

I hope I'll get this 'done' quickly, so i'm done with coding and can start building the map

Somewhere a link to a photo of the map......

A Lot of people are looking for a scoreboard program.

but those use monitors..

Ánd doesn't it look way better on the side of the screen?

Well that's what i thought!

So I've been working on a command program that creates a sidebar with what ever you want on it!

Screenshots:

Some information you need to know!

Loading a scoreboard file is the simplest thing in the world! just use 'scoreboard load <file>'

Formatting the file is a bit harder... See this example G31x0vAb

A list of all the colors

"black",
"dark_blue",
"dark_green",
"dark_aqua",
"dark_red",
"dark_purple",
"gold",
"gray",
"dark_gray",
"blue",
"green",
"aqua",
"red",
"light_purple",
"yellow",
"white"

Okay now the fun part.... DOWNLOAD!!!!

pastebin get 11P0AHK4 scoreboard

and remember first 'scoreboard init'!!! Have fun!
