Communication

##Console

To send a message to the Craftbukkit console just use the console command:

console(message1, ..., messagen) 

This behaves exactly the same as Kernel#print:

console 'Purugin stopped'

##Yourself

The Bukkit API method for this is 'send_message'. This seemed too long and I got annoyed typing it, so I made an alias to a msg:

person.msg 'You have died'

##Others

send_message/msg on any object reference to another player:

world.players.each do { |p| p.send_message 'P0wnd' }

If you want every one in every world to see your message you can:

server.broadcast_message "All may see this message"

##Colors

You can use a variety of colors by including the Purugin::Colors module:

person.msg red('Wicked red error message')

You can also use the colorize method:

person.msg colorize("{yellow}mellow{green}apple")

You can also use the special hex values for shortening the string (important for things like signs):

sign.text = colorize("&4mellow&dapple")

Accepted color values: &0 - {white}, &1 - {orange}, &2 - {magenta}, &3 - {lightblue}, &4 - {yellow}, &5 - {lime}, &6 - {pink}, &7 - {gray}, &8 - {lightgray}, &9 - {cyan}, &a - {purple}, &b - {blue}, &c - {brown}, &d - {green}, &e - {red}, &f - {black}
