First program tree chopper - ComputerCraft Forums (archive)

Posted 17 May 2013 - 12:52 PM

This is my first program that actually does more than just moving forward and turning

This program will cut the trees replant and gather any drops from the trees any mobs though will interrupt the script. I know how to fix this problem just have not had time to do any corrections. I am open to advice on how to make this better.

This is a very inefficient code that builds the farm that the above program uses all you have to do after using this is place the water to carry the drops

Both of these 2 programs were originally written about 3 or 4 days after i first started messing around with computer craft and slowly have been improved there are probably many ways to make this better.
