Placing Every 10 Blocks

I am trying to make a mining program that tunnels down and then mines forward. My newest addition tries to place a torch every 10 blocks. Instead of placing a torch every 10 blocks it tries to place a torch in the same block 100 times.

Here's the Code:

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
for i=1, 55 do
turtle.digDown()
turtle.down()
– while not turtle.placeDown(15) do turtle.forward()
–end
while not turtle.forward() do turtle.dig()
print("Gravel!")
end
while not turtle.placeDown(15) do turtle.digDown()
print("No Floor!")
end
turtle.digUp()
for i=1, 14 do
turtle.select(i)
if turtle.compareTo(16) then
turtle.dropDown()
end
end
for i=1, 12 do
turtle.select(i)
if turtle.compareTo(13) then
turtle.dropDown()
end
end
for i = 10, 55 do
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.dig()
turtle.place(12)
turtle.turnLeft()
end
end
for i=1, 100 do
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.digUp()
for i=1, 15 do
turtle.select(i)
if turtle.compareTo(16) then
turtle.dropDown()
end
end
–Tries to Place Torch
for i=10, 100 do
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.dig()
turtle.placeRight(13)
turtle.turnLeft()
end
end

Start out by reading the turtle API spec. Some of the functions you're calling don't take parameters. Some of the functions you're calling don't exist at all.

You need to think about your order of operations. It's no good to tell the turtle to place a torch, then place a torch, then place a torch, etc… You need to perform one torch placement for every few other actions.

Eg:

torchcounter = 0

for i=1,50 do
  move turtle forward

  torchcounter = torchcounter + 1

  if torchcounter = 10 then
     place torch
     torchcounter = 0
  end
end

Another possibility, fuel? or more to the point, did you remember it>
