Japanese House in Python for Minecraft

I have kids that I'm teaching to hack. They started of on Scratch (which is excellent) and are ready to move up to Python. They also happen to be mad Minecraft fans, so now they're making their way through Adventures in Minecraft.

As I used Scratch when they were, I'm also hacking in Python & Minecraft as they are. It helps if I hit the bumps and hurdles before they do, as well as have a sound handle on the problems they're solving.

Now I've branched out from the tutorial and I'm just having fun with it and leaving behind code the kids can use, hack whatever. This code is in my minecraft-tools repo (for want of a better name). It's just a collection of random tools I've written for Minecraft aren't quite up to being their own thing. I expect this will mostly be a collection of python programs to construct things inside Minecraft via CanaryMod and CanaryRaspberryJuicePlugin.

The first bit of code to be shaken out of the tree is japanese_house.py which produces a Minecraft interpretation of a classic Japanese house. Presently it only produces the single configuration that is little more than an empty shell.

I intend to add an interior fit out plus a whole bunch of optional configurations you can set at run time but for now it is what it is, as I'm going to move onto writing geodesic domes and transport | teleport rings (as per the Expanse, which will lead to eventually coding a TARDIS, that will you know, be actually bigger on the inside ;-)
