Help!

Im a noob:

My program:

turtle.dig(18)
[Tab]end



I didn't put tab but computer won't let me put tab on this website

can someone give me a simple program for a turtle to dig forward like a strip mine! HELP!

ok the first thing is that turtle.dig takes no arguments that means you can only do: turtle.dig()
if you want to strip mine then you can use a for loop
Second tabs don't matter

Ex.:
local blocks = 18 – How many blocks to dig down
for i = 1, blocks do – this will increase the i for 1 every time the code inside the for loop executes and will do this until i = blocks(18)
turtle.digDown() – Dig 1 block down
turtle.down() – go 1 block down
end – end the for loop

Commands to make the turtle dig out the block in front of itself, while also moving into position to dig out the next one, would enhance that loop somewhat. ;)/>
