Like the title says, is there a way for the computer to detect something in the world around it?
This is a read-only snapshot of the ComputerCraft forums,
taken in April 2020.
Question: Is there an API or something that can be used for indicating things throughout the world?

No. There is only turtle.detect and turtle.compare, which are for turtles.
You could use pressure plates and redstone or buttons, and hook them up to a computer, though.

What I was wanting was to have it detect when it was night so it would turn on a redstone current for automating my EU generation in Tekkit

If you want to turn something on time based you can use os.setAlarm( time ) and use the minecraft time that you want the event to happen as the argument. So if you want it on at 7am minecraft time do something like..
os.setAlarm(7)
evt, e1 = os.pullEvent("alarm")
rs.setOutput("right", true )

That worked, it took a couple tries to get it right for the event that would be a second alarm, but I got it :)/>/>

ccSensors
there is a world sensor that can provide you with the following world values (among other things):
"Sea Level",
"Light Level",
"Rain Strength",
"Raining?",
"Day/Night",
"isThunderStorm",
"SensorHeight",

If your running Redpower for v1.25 there is now an adjustable light sensor included in it as well.
