Have you ever been sitting around on your Linux box or Mac thinking, "Gee, I wish I could run ComputerCraft in my terminal?"
Well, wait no more!
With CCTerm, you can run a fully-featured ComputerCraft emulator in the comfort of your POSIX-compatible terminal!
I'll put more info in this thread in the coming days, because this project is VERY new!
Also note: This isn't finished yet. Some very basic features like the 'edit' program don't work properly.If you know JavaScript, though, you can help!
Here's the repository, if you want to play with it or improve it.
https://github.com/zacpier/CCTerm================== INSTALL ==================Install nodejs:
Arch: sudo pacman -S nodejs
Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install nodejs
Install CCTerm:
Download from github.Unzip to a folder.
Open a terminal in that folder.
Run nodejs ccterm.js

Probably. The thing is, it's a nodejs/iojs program, so if you can get node/io to run through it, then probably.

I have never before seen so many technologies bootstrapped together in ways that were never intended.
First, you have Lua in C, bootstrapped to javascript. Then you have Mimic bootstrapped from browser to console. And you have CC itself bootstrapped from a 3D Java game to a command line program. And finally you tape them all together with Node.js to make one big mess. It's glorious. I love it.

*duct tape
You can't just go around implying that this was rigged together with scotch tape. This is heavy-duty duct tape. I'm sure it'll hold!

I'm confused by how you mention
bootstrap. Bootstrap is where the computer slowly compiles into higher-level languages.

Replace "bootstrapped" with "horribly rigged with ungodly spaghetti code," and it'll be completely valid.

Now we're just one step further to making real computercraft computers.
While you're at it, why not make rednet work by making its range be the local network it's connected to?

That's a terribly useless idea.
I love it!

Sorry for the necro, but is this still being worked on? It's still an interesting idea that I haven't seen elsewhere, and what with ComputerCraft becoming open source, I would imagine there'd be less trouble developing.

I'm sure zacpier has worked on this every day in the years since he last posted anything. The fact that he's killed the repository means nothing.
