Is there a list of sub-components available somewhere?

We can't use the banner on these forums… So where can we use it. Well we could use it on any other forum, but where could we use it so people would know what it is.

EDIT: I must be dumber than a monkey?

Sorry, forgot to mention the file cannot be named EnderAPI.

That seems rather counter intuitive :P/>

Quite so, though it is purely due to the fact that I create a directory called EnderAPI, which only seemed fitting. Lol

What if you name the directory '.enderAPI'? That way, the file itself can be named enderAPI, and the folder will be hidden (i think).

Yes,that would work and would hide the file, however I don't want to hide the files. Good suggestion, though!

Edit: I'll consider it

delete /.EnderAPI

* Renamed the color and colour APIs to colors and colours (Such derp)

CometWolf, on 16 March 2014 - 06:24 PM said:

Surely making the new one inherit the old one would be a much better solution, instead of confusing players whom now have to manage 2 apis with almost identical names?

Engineer, on 17 March 2014 - 12:39 AM said:

Since I'm planning to not participate with this for the full 100%, I decided to make a pull request under the github account 'EngineerCoding'

My view of it was that every api could be downloaded individually, thus I added a better assert in every API. I would say that you must feel free to remove it from a few API's, though not all of them because the native assert is not the best one :P/>
I also cleaned up some code here and there to make it look better or just some better behaviour.
And last but not least I created a new function in the pastebin API called updateFile. This functions compares the pastebin content with the file's content and if they differ the file gets updated.

Here is a link to the PR: https://github.com/S...EnderAPI/pull/2

Is it good enough for a merge?

SuicidalSTDz, on 18 March 2014 - 10:10 PM said:

+ Added new apis that will soon be documented on http://vm-0.suicidalstdz.kd.io/

Koding has changed, the websites are no longer permanently live they're only live for 15 minutes before being taken down, I suggest using GitHub pages (setup instructions) to do it over using Koding.

It's a shame we can't just keep it there, and iFrame it here…

I have made up my mind. Documentation will be in-game and possibly Github (one place is hard enough to keep updated)

Well, if it were on GitHub, it would be a simple matter to include the files in the launcher.

SuicidalSTDz, on 19 March 2014 - 01:16 PM said:

In-game documentation will most likely follow the native help file format or may have a have a help function in each API.

That sounds good to me

I'll start work on it later. If you want I can also do the web part, just set up a project page for the repo and add me.

I especially recommend […] parseColor

local function parseColor(source)
  --# parse number inputs
  if tonumber(source) then
	local shifted = math.floor(math.log(tonumber(source))/math.log(2)) --# here's the magic line that turns multiple colours into one in the same way CC does
	if shifted >= 0 and shifted <= 15 then
	  return 2^shifted
	end
	return false, "colour out of range"
  --# parse string inputs
  elseif type(source) == "string" then
	source =  source:lower():gsub("%s*", ""):gsub("colou?rs?%.?", ""):gsub("lightb(.+)", "lightB%1"):gsub("lightg(.+)", "lightG%1")
	source = colors[source] or colours[source]
	return (source ~= nil and source or false), (not source and "invalid string input" or nil)
  end
  --# reject other inputs
  return false, "expected number/string, got "..type(source)
end

print(1, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor(colours.lightBlue))
print(2, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("light blue"))
print(3, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("LiGHtBlUe"))
print(4, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("li gh  t b lu e"))
print(5, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("color lightBlue"))
print(6, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("colorslight blue"))
print(7, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("colour.lightBlue"))
print(8, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("colours.lightBlue"))
print(9, ' | ', colours.orange, ' : ', parseColor(colours.combine(colours.white, colours.orange)))

When somebody created an API, and he wants to add his api in enderAPI what shall he do?

Go to https://github.com/SuicidalSTDz/EnderAPI -> choose the branch 'prerelease' and add it to the repo in the 'apis' folder. An even quicker link (which already is in the prerelease branch!): https://github.com/SuicidalSTDz/EnderAPI/tree/prerelease

Then I think we'll decide if its stable enough for an actual release :)/>/>

PS: if you want to test your API in the prerelease with the launcher, run the following line in your shell: launcher -prerelease
This will take the files from the prerelease branch instead the master branch!

Err it would just fork it and make a PR, not actually add it :P/>

Can I please be taken off the list as developer? Thats because I do not code for ComputerCraft anymore, and I want this topic to be at the very least accurate ;)/>
Also, it is nice to see this alive again!

About the crypto api, specifically the AES part, I tried testing it against the official FIPS test vectors and they did not pass.
After some research, it looks like the key_schedule part is not properly implemented.

I'll speak to KillaVanilla about fixing that. It's not exactly my cup of tea.
