[Question] ComputerCraft Lua Emulator for iPads and iPods

Can I make a emulator for coding lua and testing it just like in computercraft or do I have to get dans permission first?

dan doesnt own lua :P/>/> (Does he?)

if you could make this i would get it on my ipad 2 :D/>/>

and on my ipone ^^ there is not much app for programming lua… and they didn't work ^^

Oh, my.. Actually, I was just looking for something like this. I would /love/ to be able to CC on the go :3

I wouldn't mind paying for an app like this.

How about one for android too. I alrealy have the lua interpreter but i dont have it customized for computercraft.

iLuaBox is the best app for programming lua on the iOS

What if I add CraftOS?

you could make it a computercraft emulater

*facepalm*
this is about how to run lua as an app
i would use the android platform first if you plan on having all the apis and not having to recode everything because it can run java smoothly

well this might be off topic but what about a CC for mac and pc? cause i would love it if i did not have to do it on minecraft… and lag my computer like crazy. like maybe make a java window of some sorts?

hmm.. Adding CraftOS would require Dan's permission though.
I don't really want a CraftOS emulator.
You should make a lua interpreter with addons like CraftOS.
Just don't sell it for 99cents, some of us don't have money and I can't really imagine many people buying it (If it were just CraftOS).
Overall you would pretty much get only a few people buying it because most don't have money for it and nearly most of the CC community is at the forums (if sold for 99cents).

EDIT: Ideally you should make it a background CC-looking and have it enterpret your code Lua only, then also make a plugin/addon for CraftOS.

Have you tried the app codea? I've bought it and it works pretty well. Maybe somebody could even program a
craftOS emulator in codea?

craftOS emulator is easy.

Forgot, does codea have corutine.yeild() with characters?

This would not be too hard on Android, as we can write android apps with C++, and we can easily embed Lua in C++.

Also, Android has Java support, so you could use LuaJ.

Java + Android
DON'T MIX.

Takes hella long time to run an app in java on an Andriod.

Wth? Google advices you to do that. It was originally intended that Android apps should be written in Java. More than 90% of all apps on the Google Play Store are written in Java, so don't tell us that it does not run fast, and is not a good mix.

Please, do some research before babbling about something that a simple google search could answer.
Also, it says in your own signature: "LTS. Learn to google", so I see no reason why you could not have done that yourself.

Lmao @mad
I had an android… It loaded so slow that I threw it against the wall and It died (broke). I then went out and got an iPhone. Java and Android was intended but It doesn't load (nearly) as fast as native programs do. I'm just saying that it really isn't the best in quality, not that people that have an android are messed or something.
Android
Pros: Graphics, big
Cons: Slow, Big, easy to break, battery, apps crash, much more.

iPhone
Pros: Sized, Fast, Graphics, not-so-breakable, parses fast (java + native)
Cons: Some records of battery misbehaviors, Some apps crash

iOS is proprietary to Apple products, While Android is a open platform where any company with any model of phone can use so you cannot compare a phone running android to the iPhone unless the two phones have the same or equivalent hardware specs.

What the Hell? iPhone doesn't even run Java! It's obvious you have no idea what you're even talking about.

@Noodle, it is not my fault that you probably treat your phone bad. You probably threw it into the wall many times, and this might affect some of the connections in the hardware. You are probably just some Apple fanboy.

Don't forgot, the iPad is like the iphone but like this:

Is big iPad.
They're making the mini-iPad…..

Oh gawd, $6! Soon they might cost a hundredth of the phone they run on!
Emulating CC shouldn't be to hard, you just need to copy over the OS with some minor edits here and there.

Thanks for pointing me to Codea.
Begin rant.
1 Computer? What about testing that giant network youve got there? After all, it would be a shame if something happened to it. *facepalm*
End rant.
Edit: Just realised the post date. *gravedug* Sry!

i see to many people going out and saying android phones and pcs are crappy even when they were to ignorant to look at the specs and ratings before buying the thing

android phone ~= all of them

I would definitely get a ComputerCraft emulator for the iOS, it would be great. I could program on my iPad! Good idea.

Sometimes I wonder how people manage to even find these old threads.
Locked, let the dead rest in peace.
