An average CS freshman knows how to write hello world and print Pascal's triangles on the command line. An above average freshman at an above average university can probably make Sudoku, Tetris or Brick breaker. Even the smartest students probably won't be able to make.minecraft in a weekend. Maybe as a semester long project. But not a weekend.

I never suggested anyone could make Minecraft in a weekend. Microsoft only open sourced two small libraries that only represent maybe 0.1% of Minecraft.
