2. There are many. I just started to program my own tree chopper. I would say: Do something you need
4. I do not think there's something like that. Correct me if I'm wrong

5. Like I said. A tree chopper, a tunnel program. All that basic stuff you would have to do without CC2 ;P

I can't answer you first and third question. Hope someone else can

Edit: To 4.: There's something. Look at this: http://www.computerc...on-environment/

2. Learn the basics of Lua: http://lua-users.org/wiki/LearningLua Just click the orange links :)/>
4. No there arent things like that. But there are emulators that only run CC and some tweaks and some more stuff. Google this:

site:computercraft.info ccdesk
Also there is a in-game editor released by GravityScore, its pretty awesome! Google:

site:computercraft.info LuaIDE
5. Check out the program section of this forum, you can make infinitely much, thats programming right there :)/>

1. If you just want that your computer asks you for your password every time you turn it on, just name the file "startup"

The best lua tutorial for me is "Programming in Lua" book: http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html
