New buttons for computers!
You could code buttons on the computers and click them.
Imagine the possibilities!
Shortcuts.
Startmenu
etc.
You could also implement re-sizable windows.
Example
f = frame
f.width(400)
f.height(400)
And WAAAYYY more.

Excuse me? I know it isn't going to happen because it is against dan's vision for his mod. Hence why it is text based, with no colours. You can carry on holding your breath for it if you want, but prepare to be blue in the face.

I agree, but it would be nice to have f.width(400) f.height(400). Plus it is 100% posible since he (Dan200) did that in the config already.

Excellent idea! However I do agree it goes against the vision of the mod. The current setup really gets rid of the distractions of GUIs and such. The os.pullEvent will work, and I think I will stick with that regardless. Just my two cents ^.^

I meant like minecraft buttons if you missed that.
Ik it does mess with the GUI and/or the main idea.
It just seems easier to, atleast add a button to click on not a "ESC Menu button".
As for teraminer
IKR What if you could do that without going into the config!

Or this:
f = frame.new()
f.name = "Fart"
f.width = (400)
f.height = (400)
f.text = "Shutdown"
local event, id = os.pullEvent("button")
if id == "Fart" then
os.shutdown()
end

As I said before, it isn't going to happen. I know that Dan has no interest in making a GUI for computers - and on a personal level, it isn't something I am interested in developing either - so talking about implementation is moot.

Not a gui, but a button that is flat. You can make it, style it (using #'s and symbols), JUST SOMETHING CLICKABLE.

There is an API that adds clicking buttons.

a UI isn't a GUI, I'm talking about a click event. Have a click event or a target item to click on.

Buttons you can put your mouse over, and call a event by left clicking.

So, it would be more like mouse support than buttons. If you have mouse support, you can make the buttons yourself in ascii art (not as fancy as you might want, but it's something).

@MysticT
I would like that to be implemented. I have no problem with ascii art but if you can take the position of your mouse and click.

Yeah, I wanted that too, it would be really usefull even with no gui. There could be a "mouse_click" event with mouse position and button (left, right, middle) arguments, and a "mouse_move" event with the x and y positions as arguments. It would be usefull to make better guis, games, and some other things I can't think of now :)/>/>.

being able to highlight text instead of a gui type thing would be best as dan wants it to be terminal based

Only the GUI, which shouldn't be a problem if they coded their OS properly :)/>/>
