I can't really think of a witty way to introduce this, but this is a chat system for ComputerCraft. It lets you talk to all people connected on the network. AND if you have Moar Peripherals, putting some monitors in front of the computer and activating lets you use a mode controlled by the keyboards added with that addon mod!

Why would I need this?
If you're on a server where admins can read your /tell or /whisper text, and you want to tell someone something SUPER important, such as tactics for a competition you're on the other side on to the admins, you can use this for quick and simple communication. Just hook up with wired or wireless modems, depending on the distance and type of wireless you prefer, enter a username and chat away.

If you wanted, with a bit of playing around with code you could use this so you can use the messages sent on the network to display messages sent by you and other staff on a board at spawn, or even in your town hub.

AND it works with wireless remotes!

Screenshots?



Please feel free to tell me anything wrong with my code, I'm a bit of a novice :P

Usage?
pastebin get Ww1h4EwR startup
reboot

No, I meant like how to use it ingame!
Oh, it's simple. Place a modem on the BACK and (Optional, only with Moar Peripherals unless you want a weird experience) monitor on front (I use 5x3 size) Simply install the script to startup using the pastebin API or whatever it's called, reboot and then enter a username when prompted. Then just type whatever you want to into the chat, and all people currently "logged in" (Connected with a running computer) will see your messages. AND the best bit about it is you could technically leave people "notes", which you couldn't with vanilla chat.

Okay thanks!

To do list:
  • Commands
  • More peripheral support
  • Touchscreen mode?
  • A "terminal" computer, so people with wireless remotes can use them from a slightly bigger range than normal (I believe it would double the range?)
  • Any suggestions
  • Make code not suck
