TermuA ComputerCraft Emulator for the Terminal
This is a simple emulator written in Lua.
It definitely doesn't have perfect emulation (e.g. LuaJ string bug, error checking).
But it's pretty lightweight, supports very old versions of CC and with a couple small tweaks to the ROM can be automated (just in case you want to do that).
It's only been tested on Linux, but it should work on OS X and you might be able to get it to work on Windows (using MinGW or Cygwin or something).
Github:
CoderPuppy/cc-emuLicense: MIT
Recomended InstallationSpoiler
First install the dependencies:
Arch Linux:
pacman -S lua unibilium nanomsg
# install termcap from the AUR
Ubuntu (and most other Debian-based distros):
apt-get install lua5.2 libncurses5-dev libunibilium0 libnanomsg0 libnanomsg-dev
Install LuaRocks:
Instructions
Either clone the repository or download and unpack the zip
Either clone alekso56/ComputercraftLua or download and unpack the zip so that you have a directory structure that looks like:
.
├── cc
│ ├── bios.lua
│ ├── README.md
│ ├── rom
│ └── treasure
├── ccpost.bbcode
├── cli.lua
├── emu.lua
├── keyboard-test.lua
├── LICENSE.txt
└── README.md
In a terminal run:
luarocks install penlight
luarocks install luv
luarocks install terminfo
luarocks install luaposix
luarocks install nn
luarocks install utf8
To start the emulator, run in a terminal in the directory the contains cli.lua:
lua cli.lua . # replace with where you want the computer's root directory to be
In the emulator Ctrl-Shift-tilde is mapped to left control (since that can't be captured on it's own).ConfigurationSpoiler
Peripherals
Spoiler
Create a tree like this (replacing [id] with the id or side that the peripheral should be on):
.
└── .termu/
└── peripherals/
└── [id]/
└── type
Currently supported types:
Spoiler
Nanomsg Modem
Spoiler
Put "nanomsg-modem" in the type file.
You'll need to run a server (for the addresses look at these: ipc, tcp):
lua nanomsg-server.lua [publish address] [input address]
Create a tree like this:
.
└── .termu/
└── peripherals/
└── [id]/
├── send_addr
├── sub_addr
└── type
In the sub_addr and send_addr files put addresses to connect to the server (sub_addr to publish address and send_addr to input address).
Also you can run multiple server and have multiple modems connected to the same computer.
And this whole section probably needs to be rewritten (if I suddenly get better at writing or someone else wants to help).
CUPS Printer
Spoiler
Put "cups-printer" in the type file.
You'll need a2ps installed and CUPS installed and setup (with a printer)
It should work straight away.
It's possible to customize it with the following files:
- cmd (default: "a2ps –columns=1 -l $$width$$ -L $$height$$ –center-title=$$title$$ 2>/dev/null | lpr >/dev/null 2>/dev/null")
- width (default: 25)
- height (default: 21)
Colors
Spoiler
Create a tree like this:
.
└── .termu/
└── term-colors/
└── [fg/bg]/
└── [color]
in each of the files put the escape sequence you want Termu to output to switch to the color
for example if you want CC's light blue color (in a terminal that supports truecolor):
echo -e '\e[38;2;153;178;242m' > .termu/term-colors/fg/lightBlue
echo -e '\e[48;2;153;178;242m' > .termu/term-colors/bg/lightBlue
Font
Spoiler
You need:
- Fontforge (fontforge on Arch Linux)
- Python 3
- Python Imaging Library (I used Pillow and pil-compat)
- svgwrite
- Imagemagick (imagemagick on Arch Linux)
Grab assets/computercraft/textures/gui/termFont.png from a CC jar and put it in fonts
Then in fonts run:
./build.sh
That should generate a termu.otf file in fonts.
To use create a tree like this:
.
└── .termu/
└── term-munging
Plans / To Do
Spoiler
- Better filesystem (support for more mounts, etc..)
- Better compatibility (error checking, etc..)
- Disks

There is no cli.lua in the zip. Only the lua files from computercraft
EDIT: Didn't see the other repo
EDIT 2: My terminal just flashed black and gone back to shell. No errorrs, nothing.

I just pushed an update that lets you actually see the error message, but you could just append ">/dev/null" to the end of the command, which should let you see the error.

Installed as recommended, ran
lua cli.lua ./0/
and got the error:
./cc/bios.lua:232: attempt to index global 'colors' (a nil value)
Edit: Ok, the error code was interfering with the code tags. That was wierd.

I just pushed a new branch: debug (here's a
zip), it should provide more information.
Just looking at your error it seems like it's erroring before loading colors.

Oh, my colors polyfill was broken, that's what happens when you don't test code (I tested it this time). I pushed an update that fixes it (which is available at the same link).

Cool! It works on my first system now, but when I am trying to install it on my Raspberry Pi it gives me:

stack traceback:

On a side note, is it possible to get the HTTP API ported over?

On your first system could you try disabling multishell (using the new set program), there should be an error. Actually I wonder if it's colours loading before colors, which would explain the whole thing. I just pushed another new version that tests that. What OS are you running this on?
And on you RPi you may need to install ncurses (if you're on Rasbian that should be some combination of ncurses, libncurses5, libncurses5-dbg, libncursesw5 and libncursesw5-dev) then you may need to reinstall luaposix.
That's just from looking at the error though, I can't test further (too many packages that depend on ncurses).
EDIT: I'll see about the HTTP API, it might require a rewrite.

Disabling multishell does not throw any errors. Running with the update does not throw any errors as well. System #1 is Debian Linux running alongside Chome OS via crouton on my Chromebook. On the Pi after installing the ncurses packages and reinstalling luaposix, it works!

Ok, good! I've merged all the fixes back into master, so you probably switch back to that (if you're using git). Also I've looked into implementing the HTTP API, I don't think it'll be a complete rewrite, I will have to use plain ANSI escapes instead of using curses but I think that'll be the only real change.

EDIT2: CTRL doesnt work in edit.
It is rather slow when using the window API (probably because my implementation of term.blit is slow), but you can disable multishell (the main use of windows) using the new set program.
Backspace (and other keys) not working will probably be a problem, but that's an error from an old version (new errors should say "unknown key seq").
CTRL can't be captured on it's own in the terminal, but I mapped Ctrl-Shift-Tilde to it.

Just pushed a fix that'll hopefully print the error even if termNat is nil.

I will test later, my Pi is currently down. I am borrowing the USB hub that was powering it for another purpose atm.
Side note: Personally, I like when emulators have a variable set somewhere so that programs can identify it as not standard CC. Like CCEmuRedux changed the _HOST variable in its latest version to include details about the CCEmuRedux version. Now, as you are advertising this as working with any version of CC and cannot throw it in with _HOST (as it hasn't been around long), I would suggest a new _G variable.

I've pushed a bunch of updates including:
- Add the HTTP API (probably buggy)
- Add fs.find
- Fix LuaJIT compat
- Use terminfo for keybindings (should fix Admicos's problem with backspace)
- Fix reading from files
- Fix term.clearLine
- Add _HOST, set to 'termu'
EDIT: and a hotfix for fs.find erroring when it doesn't find matches in a location

Just pushed an update to fix both those, though os.reboot still doesn't work (the emulator just isn't designed for it).
Also fixed term.setCursorPos not working fix decimals, and fs sandboxing (you could do ".." and get access to a directory outside the emulated computer's root directory).

I just pushed a new branch which contains GPIO integration (mainly for Raspberry Pi): rpi-gpio (here's a
zip).
It's completely untested.
If you want to test it you need to install
lua-periphery.
Then create a tree like:
.
└── .termu/
└── redstone-gpio/
In the redstone-gpio directory create a file (the name is how you reference it) containing "[GPIO pin] [direction]".
If you have a Raspberry Pi, GPIO pin is probably based on this diagram:
Direction can be in, out, high or low (high and low are the same as out but with an initial value).
Then just use normal redstone functions to read/write to/from them.

So, I see in your todo list you have Rednet and mouse support. I am curious on how you plan to implement both.
Will Rednet be data between Termu sessions on other computers?
Will it have to move out of the terminal to use the mouse?

Modems will probably use
ØMQ or
RabbitMQ. Either way it'll have a server running that all the sessions connect to.
Mouse will work in terminals that support mouse reporting (which seems to be sort of a
mess).

This is quite impressive! I have noticed a few issues however.
- When the computer shuts down, it throws a segfault
- Whenever I hit backspace, I get an error (unknown key seq: "\127")
I'm running Arch Linux and followed the instructions in the OP.

The segfault is a known bug, I can't figure out why it happens (because it happens after my code has exited).
Backspace not working means the terminal you're running it in is sending '\127' instead of whatever it has in it's termcap entry.
What terminal are you using? What does "tput kbs | cat -v" output?

I just pushed an update that should fix that.
It does include hardcoding some codes that I shouldn't have to.
It could mix up delete and backspace though.

That's too bad. The closest Unicode gets is 2x2:
http://jrgraphix.net...icode/2580-259FSo, how would I go about making a font for that? I assume the characters it renders instead is what it gets when you attempt to render them? Or are they just a placeholder can't cannot just be swapped out for the proper characters with a font.
If so, what values does it use?

Unless those characters exist in Unicode I can't add them in the emulator.

Unfortunately the codes used for them (128 - 159) are continuation code units in UTF-8.
Which means any terminal that interprets that output as UTF-8 will see them as invalid text.
It should be possible to remap the output to valid UTF-8 such that the codepoint is the same as the original byte.
However that means mangling any actual UTF-8 that's output and my very limited testing hasn't been successful.

Well, if you get that working so that each 128-159 are unique characters, let me know and I will attempt to make a font for the teletext from there.

You may be able to set a custom font through she'll commands with "setfont"

That will not help currently as each teletext character is printing as the same character. A font will not be able to fix that.

That looks like it only works for the real terminal not any terminal emulators.

I got the output remapped from a bytes to Unicode code points (encoded as UTF-8) (pushed to the debug branch).
Unfortunately U+0080 - U+009F (what 128-159 are mapped to) are control characters in Unicode, which seems to make the not render at all (tested in st and urxvt).
The only fix I can think of is having a custom mapping that maps a bunch of CC-specific characters to Unicode code points.
So I need suggestions for where to map them to (just pick a code page from
here that you think CC won't add support for in the future).

I would say use any language page that isn't from the Americas or Europe.

I'd use the CJK sets.

Ok, 128-159 (the teletext characters) now mapped to U+1D100 - U+1D10F (the first two columns of
this) on the debug branch.
I'd use the CJK sets.

Any reason why you think using a language page is best?

I just pushed an update with modems.
I added some instructions to the OP. However I feel they're terrible, so if anyone feels like writing documentation…
Also I need ideas for more peripherals to add, maybe modems for other things (such as SPI or I2C for RPis), something with printers or peripherals from other mods.

Oooooo…..
And, yes, Pi modems too :)/>

Are there any specific devices that you want to work? I might be able to add custom support for some things (maybe ZigBee or XBee radios could be modems and LCDs could be monitors).

I'm not sure what else. Is it possible to have USB printers act similar to CC Printers?

With enough buffering and invocation of lpr, everything is possible.

What about using USB drives as mounts?
I would think that would be quite a bit simpler than the printer idea.
Maybe Noteblock peripheral? Acts like either a Noteblock itself would via OpenPeripherals, or like one of various mods' Iron Note Blocks.
What about using either Jasper or just a STT and TTS service on their own to make a "Chatbox"?

I've added a bunch of new features:
- CUPS printers (actually somewhat old)
- Term munging: use all of the CC characters in Unicode terminals
- Font generation: use the actual characters from CC
- Term colors: custom colors
- Mouse (only SGR 1006, so it won't work in old terminals and urxvt)
- key_up
Look at the OP for instructions.
