Tutorials require a writeup. Moved to Media.

local pass = "pass"
local side = "left"
rs.setOutput(side, false)
while true do
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("This door is locked!")
write("Password: ")
password = read("*")
if password == pass then
print("Access Granted!")
rs.setOutput(side, true)
sleep(3)
rs.setOutput(side, false)
else
print("Access Denide!")
sleep(2)
end
end

Btw the = thing is one = is say I want this to mean this the 2 = is asking is it = to this

x = y --This sets X equal to Y

if 2 == "2" then --It asks if it's equal

if 2 === "2" then --This is false
if "2" === "2" then --This is true
if 2 === 2 then -- This is also true.

The triple equal sign says "Hey, are these two EXACTLY the same?"

if 2 === "2" then --This is false
if "2" === "2" then --This is true
if 2 === 2 then -- This is also true.

there is no strict comparison operator in Lua. if you try to it will error with "unexpected symbol".

To clarify to those who speak English,
The single equal sign says "Hey, let's set this value to that value"

x = y --This sets X equal to Y

The double equal sign says "Hey, are these two equal to each other?"

if 2 == "2" then --It asks if it's equal

The triple equal sign says "Hey, are these two EXACTLY the same?"

if 2 === "2" then --This is false
if "2" === "2" then --This is true
if 2 === 2 then -- This is also true.

You can also have things like hashed passwords on disk, timeouts after too many attempts, random biolock/player detector/rfid/mag strip card checks (from Gopher's Peripherals/MiscPeripherals/immibis's Peripherals/immibis's Peripherals respectively, and access to different doors based on passwords. For a unique tutorial (therefore more subs and likes etc.) I would make it different from the rest.

Yeah I love doing stuff like that, this was a tutorial just for the basics, y'know?

os.pullEnent = os.pullEventRaw and input = read("*")

well new people should know about the

os.pullEnent = os.pullEventRaw and input = read("*")

I didn't until I found a tutorial

end

print("Access Granted. Welcome to the Lab, Jim!")
rs.setOutput("left", true)
sleep(3)
rs.setOutput("left", false)
os.reboot()

this is
your code

If it hurts to look at, don't post it.
