I've started an independent project called Project ComputerCraft. (aka ComputerCraft Emulator) Yes, as stated by the title, it's written in batch.
I'm starting to take suggestions for commands and help for the edit command. So, basically, now this has become a community project!

Also, you need to download cecho for this software to work. Without it, you'll get a bunch of errors about internal or external commands.

Try to give me suggestions!

Thanks for reading!

Batch? Well, you've got my attention. Also, I don't think this belongs in the programs section as you don't have anything to show yet.

Well, as long as you've got something to show, I guess it's fine? Because threads without a download get locked.

Link will come tomorrow unless the emulator uploads in the next 5 minutes xD

Good lord… over 600 files?!?

Well, i guess it's because of extracting the ComputerCraft jar file to get access to all the folders…

It's GPL v2, so you can include it with the actual download. Or maybe add an auto-installer using something like curl.

Also, the cecho page doesn't make it abundantly clear as to where I can download it, except through svn. Tips?

I do believe you need permission from dan200 to distribute the ComputerCraft jar in any context other than mod packs

As this is not a mod pack, you will need to not include the ComputerCraft files with it. From what I could see in the batch file, you weren't even using them, so I'm not sure why you included them in the first place.

Is this a batch simulator of CraftOS or full-on lua + CC? I feel it would be pretty difficult to rewrite lua in batch unless you plan on packing a lua interpreter with it.

This is a batch simulator of CraftOS with all of it's functions.

The reason I extracted the files in the first place is so then later on in the versions it's going to start using the folders.

Your Tips: Download Here. Firstly, you need to sign up on the website. You don't need to confirm your e-mail. Secondly, once downloaded, grab both files and put them in C:\Windows\System32. Thirdly, check that you installed it correctly by launching cmd and typing cecho.If it comes up with 'cecho' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. , then you've messed this up, otherwise if it comes up with colors, then launch start_emu. It has arguments. The basic arguments are: start_emu 0 false. 0 as the ID, false as the http api (Not implemented).

(Correct me if I'm wrong)
Impossible without Lua interpreter

It looks like he's emulating Lua in batch.

Again, you should not be including the ComputerCraft files in things that are not mod packs. I've removed the download link until you can correct the issue.

Is he using the jar? If he is just using the lua files, dan did say this on irc a while back to someone else:
06:52:23 <@dan200> Oddstr13: yeah, sure. i dont mind what people do with CC's lua files

Yeah, the .jar is included in the download (though it's been unzipped)

Right, contacted dan200 about the .jar file distributing. Lyqyd, if he says yes, please can you put the download link back up? Thanks! :)/>

I didn't save it anywhere, but if dan does allow you to do so, feel free to put the link back up.

He's read it but not replied. Hmm… Maybe he's trying to find the emulator. I'll give him the link.

Be patient - it took dan a couple weeks to reply to my PM about including ROM in my emulator, but he did reply :)/>

Right. He's replied and he said yes so…
