Hello Computercraft users of the world :D/>
Basically, I am creating a 100% CC Banking Database (Serverside only for now) for a FTB Server I am staff for
(Take note, this is not a System for distribution, but rather a database to keep track of funds, which are, in this case, Industrial Credits)
Here is what, ideally, it will do:
Read a Floppy Disk containing the players "credentials/identification"
Check the 'database' of accounts, (preferably without displaying them to the person operating the computer)
Display how many credits are associated with the account, distribution not required.
in pseudocode:
begin pseudocode
Check if disk credentials are in database
If yes then
Display credits for that account.
Give option to add/remove credits from account
if deposting then
add industrial credits to bank safe (done by redpower/BC/etc)
add credits into digital account balance
if removing then
Give Player inputted amount of credits
subtract inputted amount from player digital balance
if "exit/nothing" then
return to "idle/ready to use stage"
if not then
add new account to the database, starting with 0 credits.
]
end psuedocode
Sorry for the messy pseudocode, I had it formatted and everything, but forum post preview didn't like the formatting & removed it
The problem is, I have never worked with CC serverside(database)-clientside(access) programs, as all my programming typically takes place in 1 computer on it's own, and even if so, it has been a long time since i last used databases/storing information long term.
If Someone/Some people more experienced than me could do either and/or all of the following, that would be greatly appreicated:
-Give a "skeleton example" of a serverside database (with basic functions, or explanation on how to add them)
-Write out a possible solution
-if you feel really generous, write out the program in such a way I can understand and learn from it (Comments, etc)
-link an example of a simple database in computercraft
