Good day all

I am new to this mod and find it extreamly fun to play with , meaning I just use the miners to excavate and well thats it , since I do not have any programming skills to speak off and there for I litraly only use the mining function .

I have tryed using the wifi thing to send commonds and such but no idea what I am doing .

is there a OS or something for dummies that will help me enjoy playing without the trouble of learning every single bit of code ?

thank you for your time .

Regards

Southiebob

You mention trying to send commands wirelessly, and also ask for software. Are you looking for something like nsh? It is a remote shell program that allows you to control one computer from another.

If that's not what you're looking for, you're going to have to be more specific, sorry.

Hi there and thank you for the reply

Well I am just looking for things to do with the turtles the wireless commands poped up as a fun way if moving a turtle around though I am sure its used for much better things then that .

I am looking for some sort of detailed explenation on what code does what or something that can help me I am not a programer sadly , though with messing around I think I have connected my wifi turtle with my pc they are both red so think I am on the right track not sure .

ok now I have some free time for a change .

Basicly I am not a programer and yet I love the functions one can do with your mod on minecraft , it makes sense to have this mod installed as theres such a huge amount of things that can be done .

though the problem is I have no idea how the code works or how to get things to do stuff , other then excavate though thats a built in program .

I need help or something like a computer craft for dummies book that would be awesome , as I want to use this Mod for mining and exploration and stuff

Here's where i got started
http://computercraft.info/wiki/Tutorials
Later i moved onto "Programming in Lua" and lots of googling.
http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html
PiL is basically a manual for the language used to code in computercraft.
