Conventions

Code or commands that I’m showing you as examples look like this:

 
$ ​I've typed all of this as an example for you.

For code or commands that you’re supposed to type in, I’ll show it with a shaded background like this:

 
$ ​you type this part here (but not the dollar-sign prompt)

Things in italics are placeholders; you don’t type them in directly, so something like this:

me.chat( string msg );

means you would replace the italic part, like this:

me.chat("Creepers are coming.");

Now let’s see how to work this thing.
