Hello Computer Craft community, I'm working off an idea of new spawning players in my server would have open peripheral Terminal Glasses in their helmet slot which would display rules and information. My problem, I have no experience with computer craft or Lua in general. I have knowledge of C# Visual Basic and C++ and I have not worked with Lua very much at all. I can read most code, understand what is going on, and edit code. But I cannot write it from scratch.

Are there any Terminal Glasses programs I can use as reference to get started in making my own HUD for starting players? I have searched and found a few, like Plastic but I am unable to find something diverse or simple enough for me to start with and learn from.

My knowledge with computer craft is as basic as

[on startup]
monitor = peripheral.wrap("left")
monitor.setTextSize(2)
monitor.setCursorPos(2,3)
monitor.setTextColor(colors.cyan)
monitor.write("I'm a noob")

I will eventually be able to figure out complicated things, but I need somewhere to start and something solid to reference off of until I can write Lua from scratch and create the HUD I want.

Check out the Programs section of the forums. There are a number of programs that use them. The search function may help narrow it down.
