I made a simple program for computers that is able to act like some kinds of redstone gates.

You can get it with:
pastebin get 2g4pAN2U RedGates

Features:

Spoiler

-7 Gates: NOT-Gate, AND-Gate, NAND-Gate, OR-Gate, Redstone clock, XOR-Gate, XNOR-Gate, Randomizer
-wireless transmission of redstone signals

Screenshots(outdated):

changelog:

Spoiler

1.01
-you can select sides now
1.1
-added wireless transmission
-exit programs with tab
1.2
-added T-Flip-Flop
-using os.pullEvent() to make it more efficient
1.2.1
-added Randomizer
-made code a little bit more efficient

Upcoming features:
-more gates
-(maybe in the future) combine gates (not sure if i am good enough in lua to do that)
-possibility to add own gates in the program
-maybe synchronized clocks over rednet
-simulate inputs

If you find bugs or have tips for me to do this better feel free to comment :)/>

There are 16 gates and you can edit it to work with redstone, top and bottom for the inputs and the others for a binary selector of what gate to use

and where should the outputs be?

You might want to make it so that you can set where the inputs/outputs are, but overall, nice program!

i am working on that

Edit: impleted it in 1.01
Edit 2: does anyone know how to make the program quit if you press a key? i tried it with some of the code in the tutorials on the wiki, but then it did nothing anymore until i pressed a key

You need to run your program in parallel (waitForAny) with key detection.

Example:


function f1()
  while true do
    print("Lol, i'm runnin\'")
    sleep(1)
  end
  return
end

function f2()
  e = nil
  while e ~= "key" do
    e = os.pullEvent("key")
  end
  return
end

parallel.waitForAny(f1, f2)
return

Thanks for the help! I will use that in a new version that I will make tomorrow if I have time for that

hello, i just made an update with wireless redstone, but its crashing every time i tried to use it. I dont know very much about rednet so could you help me out with this, please?
The code of the beta version:

function wirelesssend(...)
write("Modem side:")
modemside = io.read()
rednet.open(modemside)
write("ID of receiver:")
receiverid = io.read()
write("Input side:")
inputside = io.read()
while true do
  redstoneinput = redstone.getInput(inputside)
  if redstoneinput == true then
   rednet.send(receiverid, 1)
  elseif redstoneinput == false then
   rednet.send(receiverid, 0)
  end
  sleep(0.1)
end
end
function wirelessreceive(...)
write("Modem side:")
modemside = io.read()
rednet.open(modemside)
write("Output side:")
Outputside = io.read()
while true do
  message = rednet.receive(10)
  if message == 1 then
   redstone.setOutput(Outputside, true)
  elseif message == 0 then
   redstone.setOutput(Outputside, false)
  end
  sleep(0.1)
end
end
function waitforkey()
	while true do
		local sEvent, param = os.pullEvent("key")

				redstone.setOutput("right", false)

edit : i have figured out what i did wrong and fixed it
edit 2: update 1.1 is out now, which contains this

with 16 options, you can use 4 wires for the options nad 2 for the redstone inputs and when the inputs are off, output the result
