## What it is
A simple Minecraft-inspired voxel game demo written in Python using the Pyglet library. It is intended as an educational project to get kids excited about programming by making simple changes and seeing results quickly.

## Use cases
- play a lightweight minecraft-like game in python
- learn game programming with python and pyglet
- teach kids programming through a familiar game
- hack on a small voxel engine codebase
- demo of 3d graphics with pyglet

## When to choose
- you want a small, readable Python codebase to learn or teach game development
- you want a quick Minecraft-style demo to run and modify
- you prefer Python over C for experimentation

## When to avoid
- you need performance, terrain generation, or world saving - use fogleman/Craft instead
- you want a full-featured Minecraft clone
- you need an actively developed project with a library API

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: education, graphics
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: minecraft-clone, pyglet, voxel, educational, demo, game-development, desktop
