I <3 it when people post os's with out screen shots yet says they are doing it later.
If you don't have screen shots, then you don't need to post period.

That's stupid. Period. A program is not the sum of its "screenies". In fact, screenies are only important to those who can't pop open the code and look at that instead. Are screenshots nice? Sure. Should they be necessary or required? No.

Allow me to rephrase that one for you:
Hey, I see that you're on your phone and all, but I'll just let you know that most people won't download this unless there are screenshots. Just a bit of friendly advice :)/>/>

There, isn't that better?

As I have always been told, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Of course, such a thing is easier said than done, but everyone should at least strive for that goal.

@OP - I apologize for my fellow forum members and their rude behavior. Here's a few pieces of advice:
  • As has been mentioned, the majority of folks won't download a program unless there's screenshots
  • I know it seems nitpicky, but I would also go ahead and actually link the program rather than just pasting plain text into a spoiler. It's a small thing, but it actually does make a difference :)/>/>
  • Remove the "Press any key to continue". It's a bit annoying.
  • Try using tables instead of huge if/elseif statements. Here's how I would do it:
  • 
    local command_list = {
    ["/command1"] = function()
       print("This command does something")
    end;
    ["/command2"] = function()
       print("This does something else")
    end;
    }
    
    while true do
      term.write("Command: ")
      local input = read()
      if command_list[input] then
    	command_list[input]()
      else
    	print("That is not a valid command!")
      end
    end
    
    This will just keep everything a bit cleaner and more versatile.
  • Maybe consider using loadstring in order to execute Lua commands from your prompt. Take a look at loadstring here.

It's fine, maybe I came off rude– that I apologize. But in general, IN MY OPINION, if they are not going to take the time to do simple stuff like screenshots, then why would I take my time to open the code, and see if it is legit. Stupid or not (look who is rude now), it is how I work. Maybe I could have rephrased it:

It's fine, maybe I came off rude– that I apologize.
I'm not a perfect individual.

And you are correct. I'm not the best with code, which is why I rely on the screenshots itself, along with many other uses, which is why I always get annoyed when the OP feels it isn't necessary.
I want to know what I am installing onto my server, I want to know what I am possibly adding some dangerous malicious code to turtle.

Screenshots IMO reinforce it for people like me who can't read code 100% yet.

Aside from all that shiz, It's a good program. Would like a few changes like that "Press Key to Continue".
