Mirror screen

I was wondering if it was possible to be able to be doing one thing on a computer and have tides play on a monitor so other people can see what you are doing

Look around the forums. This has been posted innumerable times. I think at least one was called "mirror API", there are several others.

ok thank you very much :)/>

You can also override the term functions which is used for drawing and use them to draw on the monitor as well as on the terminal.
Functions that are most important for this

• term.write( string )
• term.clear()
• term.setCursorPos( x, y )
• term.setCursorBlink( boolean )

local mon = peripheral.wrap("<Monitor Side")

oldTermWrite = oldTermWrite or term.write
term.write = function( text )
	oldTermWrite( text )
	mon.write( text )
end

oldCursorPos = oldCursorPos or term.setCursorPos
term.setCursorPos = function( x, y )
	oldCursorPos( x, y )
	mon.setCursorPos( x, y )
end

oldClear = oldClear or term.clear
term.clear = function()
	oldClear()
	mon.clear()
end

oldBlink = oldBlink or term.setCursorBlink
term.setCursorBlink = function( boolean )
	oldBlink( boolean )
	mon.setCursorBlink( boolean )
end

And term.clearLine, and term.scroll, and term.setTextColor, and term.setBackgroundColor, etc. Probably best to just use an existing API.

I would do this to mirror, but I'm not sure if it would work.

local screens = {"monitor_1", "monitor_0"}
for i=1, #screens do
local curScreen = peripheral.wrap(screens[i])
term.redirect(curScreen)
--[[Todo here]]
end
term.restore()

Can someone confirm this code?
