Mine craft...help.

[pippitysqueakity]

Was mum of the year cos gave in and downloaded it, but it doesn't seem to work properly, ie they can't put down bricks or whatever. Right clicking does not work, nor moving from spawning ground.
I do not seem to be able to uninstall, as it is not in my list of programmes. This is on my PC, windows 7. So I thought. I would try on my iPad (air) but am not sure what download thing to use.
Basically I think I made some mistake in initial download and don't know where to go from here, have emailed but no response yet and off on holiday tomorrow, was hoping to take it with us.
Anyone got any suggestions? TIA

Help?

Dp says he's not sure but try going into settings and changing controls

Are you playing in adventure mode?

Have they played before? If they watch tutorials they may figure out the issue.

Have you tried...
-clicking the esc button
-this should bring up the 'game menu'
-click the button called options
-this brings up another menu
-click controls
-assign keyboard or mouse buttons to the commands you want

Also, mine craft on Apple devices (iPod, iPhone, iPad) is different, it's called mine craft pocket edition and you have to buy it separately to the computer version.

I'm not sure how helpful this is but I hope you can sort it out x

-info from my two DDs

Oooh, thank you, all v helpful. Will give it all a go now, and thanks for info re Ipad etc, saves me wasting time on that.

Have tried the controls menu, can't work out what button 1 supposed to be (not no 1) , and doesn't seem to give me many options. Why am I finding this so hard??? Everyone else seems to manage this. [wee humphy face ]
