Turtle; The "Roguelike"

So I got this idea yesterday for some reason and decided I wanted to try and actually make it happen. I know this probably has been done many times before, but here's my take on it.

Turtle: The "Roguelike"

This program lets you control and "play as" a turtle kinda like if it was a roguelike game.
The programs must be run on a wireless mining turtle and an avanced computer with a modem attached to the top.

The controls are somewhat like the controls in Rogue.

• a: Mine a block (The 'a' key uses an item such as a pickaxe in NetHack, that is why I chose it)
• p: Place a block
• s: Quick search
• S: Identifying search – Identifies the blocks around you and colors them.
• hjkl: Move around (left, down, up and right respectively)
• q: Quit

Current issues:

• The item selection sucks: It doesn't know which of the turtle's slots actually contains items and there's no way to view more detailed information.
• You have no way to know which blocks are which color if you don't look at the code.
• Mobs in the way of the turtle make it unable to move, but you can't see them.
• Probably a bunch of other things I didn't think about…

Changelog:

• 1.0-supersneakyquickupdatethatnobodywillhopefullynotice: Made the turtle open the needed modem channel.

Very nice. I can see this being used to defuse bombs. (Guude!)

Great work! Now that the turtle opens the modem, it works great! ;)/> I hope you continue working on it. Moving up and down (instead of just backward and forward) would be cool.

Yeah, I'm gonna add that at some point, shouldn't be all too terribly difficult.

That's cool! If you make it 3d, you should do it similarly to how Dwarf Fortress does it in its adventure mode and its object testing arena. If you don't I will Eventually™ with my own version.

Can't you just edit your post in include this information.
