"""Example map generator: Woodbox (Block)

This script demonstrates vmflib by generating a map (consisting of a large
empty room) and writing it to "woodbox_block.vmf". You can open the resulting
file using the Valve Hammer Editor and compile it for use in-game.

This example shows off the tools.Block class, which allows for the easy
creation of 3D block brushes. It's pretty awesome.
