Purpose

Spoiler

After digging around for a while, I didn't find an OS for the terminal glasses that worked well for me. So, I've decided to start my own. This OS will operate on an advanced computer with the glasses directly part of the computer OS. I hope this will make a seamless computing environment to suit everyones needs.

Please give me feedback on the update! Glasses support coming soon!

GitHub is free–you can set up an account and create a repository yourself. Private repos cost money, of course.

If I understood how, I would. I'll look into it later today. Also, how would I go about setting up a poll?

GitHub can store any file - In this case; your OS files. Those can be either anything (.anything) but can always be read in text.

So if you setup a GitHub repository and upload those files you can make an installer.
So for example: The file I'll be downloading is startup. Now my GitHub username is OptimuSnorr - and the repository that file will be in is Files.

So overall - the file will be located at https://www.github.c...r/files/startup (Not real - just a link)

Now if you try to download that into ComputerCraft you'll end up with a bunch of HTML stuff.
So just like on Pastebin, there is a raw feature: eg: http://www.pastebin....php?i={pasteid}

Now this isn't about Pastebin - I'm talking about GitHub.

How I download and save files of GitHub.


local download = http.get("https://raw.github.com/optimussnorr/files/startup") --Notice how now the address is raw.github not www.github.
local data = download.readAll() --This makes a variable that data is the raw download from GitHub.
download.close() --Remember to close download!

local file = fs.open("saveto","w") --Opens the file 'saveto' with the permissions to write.
file.write(data) --Writes the data to the file.
file.close() --Remember to close the file!

And that should be it. Run startup and you'll have whats on GitHub.
Now doing that for an installer each time is a mission, so here is a little function you can put into your GitHub installer. (I use it in mine)
Also, this one will check if the connection + download was successful.


local function get(username, repo, repoFile, saveTo)	 --Username is your GitHub username, repo is the repository, repoFile is the file being downloaded, saveTo is the file to save the data to.
local download = http.get("https://raw.github.com/"..username.."/"..repo.."/"..repoFile) --Downloads the file
if download then  --Checks if the download was successful.
   local data = download.readAll()
   download.close()
   local file = fs.open(saveTo,"w")
   file.write(data)
   file.close()
  else   --if the download was unsuccessful then this will display.
   print("Couldn't connect to GitHub!")
   print("Make sure you have the HTTP API enabled")
end --Closes the if.
end --Closes the function.

get("OptimusSnorr","Files","startup","saveFile") --Call the function. Downloads the file 'startup' from the repository 'Files' from the user 'OptimusSnorr' and saves it as 'saveFile'.

I hope it helps you.
Also check out my GitHub downloader.

If the code doesn't work please tell me I did it without testing.

I can already see a mistake there. http.get never returns booleans - on the third line, that download == true will never evaluate true. Strip off the == true part and it'll work.

No it wouldn't, "if 5 == true then" doesn't run, but "if 5 then" does.

Out of curiosity, is ther any easy way that anyone has uploaded to GitHub from the computer? That will make the whole process a few steps easier.

No it wouldn't, "if 5 == true then" doesn't run, but "if 5 then" does.

Everything which is Not Nil or false returns true. 5 is Not Nil or false.

EDIT:
Sorry for my foolish mistake, it only works like This:
if var ~= false then

Not to bother anyone, but I noticed that you mentioned "terminal glasses support". I have the mod that adds those through a modpack (tekkit) and can't find anything relating to it, being the download link, wiki, or any tutorial. If someone could point me towards any resources, that would be appreciated. Good luck on your new OS, looks complicated.

After I have looked over some of the resources (See my first post) I would be happy to help in any way I can.

As TheOriginalBit said, it does not. The GUI is for the computer, once that is up I just have to port a 'lite' version over to the glasses. After looking Mikemoo's code, the most difficult thing will be finding x and y values. Simple.

Edit: maybe not port perse, but close ties to each other with interaction.

I don't know… For dramatic effect? That shouldn't be there… I used to put those in because I thought my cheesy little programs would feel more real if they took time to load. Probably force of a bad habit.

You might also look into Bitbucket, also uses git for version control but allows you to have a free private repo. Mind you, you'd have to enter the password and rework an API to get that to download properly directly from Repo. I prefer the code review and issues system myself, but preferences really.

Alright, break is over - back to work. I'm gonna push an update here, hopefully, I'll get user support up. As soon as that's done, I'll start cracking on the terminal glasses. Please submit programs and games, I want some functionality next update. XD

I'm going to check it out.

The over-simplified UI turns me off. I love the text UIs, but this one just doesn't work for me. I'm sorry. Now, this doesn't mean that your OS sucks; it doesn't. I just don't like the UI, and that's why I don't use very many OSes.
But, good choice on using Oeed's package make tool!

An interface can never be over simplified. Things that use the Fisher-Price "one big button" mentality always do better than those which look like they need a PhD in physics to use. But I see your point. There is a line between lack of features and difficulty that ease of use fits, and some times things drop below it.

So, what would you like better? I am personally not a fan of GUI's, just because it never looks good. This is the only UI that I have made in computercraft, so I would definitely like some input.

After looking at the UI again, I actually think this is a really good text UI. It's not really that oversimplified really. I just don't really see the issue.
