[ALPHA][0.115A] Colligo - A small inclusive API

Nice!!
If it's stable I may ask to use this in my program

you should localise variables in all your functions. also you should use math.ceil not math.floor in your cPrint function. here is an example of localising functions, while fixing your cPrint too.

function cPrint(text)
  local cx, cy = term.getCursorPos()
  local w, h = term.getSize() --# its good to get it again, just incase they've moved to a monitor or something since initialising the API
  local newX = math.ceil((w-#text)/2)
  term.setCursorPos(newX, cy)
  print(text)
end

by making the above variables local it keeps them out of the global space which is persistent even once your program has finished, and potentially could cause problems for other scripts.

also your getVersion, there's no point putting the string in a variable to then return it, just return the string.

There is also no point in even making a function, just make a variable called "version", like this:

--#API's File#--
...
version = "your version"
...
--#Program (API already loaded)#--
...
print(api-foo.version)
...

not completely true… getter approaches are very common and do (normally) have a lot of merit behind them

0.115 includes localised variables and some other updates. Luacrawler, as of this moment I don't want it being distributed with another program, sorry. I may amend this at a later date (I probably will) and allow distribution.

Updated to version 0.115A - License & Changelog added to the OP.
