[1.4] Tablets? Cool.

Hello, i'm from Poland, and I've got a suggestion to add Tablets.

What? What? What tablets?
Tablets will be a mobile computer. It has charging and 'range of work'. And docking block for tablets.

STOP! Range of work?
Yea. Tablets will have a range. You must 'plug-in' your tablet to computer for install software 'CraftOS - Mobile'. Range is a distance from yours tablet to computer, the farther away from the computer the tablet has smaller range (and slower running). The deflaut range-distance is modifed in config file.

Ohh.. And what charging?
Mmmmm. Charging - it was simply - if you often and long use tablet the his level of charging will be smaller. If tablet be discharged don't work :)
Charging in Redpower energy, Industrial Energy, Buildcraft Energy or not.

Cool. It has REDNET?
The modern tablet has got Wi-Fi. The CCTablet… Maybe?

Woah. Okey. Crafting?
Oh…. I don't now maybe… Not perfectly, but it is.


OK. I know what is tablet, but I don't know what is 'docking block'!
It's similar to disk drive, but you can olny put in 'docking block' tablet.


OK. That's my suggestion. Have any questions? Write below. :)

I think its a great idea!

Very common suggestion, infact just a couple threads down is a thread titled "Tablet - Portable Computer". Discussions and responses can be found in those other threads.

Not only that, this is implementable in the API at some level at least, so it is basically supported. The rule is, if you want it that much, you can just implement it yourself.

Addon to CC?

There is an entire subforum for peripherals and the peripheral API, which allows you to make minecraft mods that integrate with computercraft in some way.
