Hello world

Challenge

In order to be considered professional python programmers on the Raspberry Pi, we have to do the time-honored hello world in Minecraft.

Start up an instance of Pi Minecraft and a terminal window. Write a program to send a hello world message to the minecraft console.

Extensions

• Change the code to read in a message from the console
• Ask for the player’s name and write that out in the message.
• Use a while loop to keep writing messages to the chat window.
