Information Display

Hi everyone. My data center has an information display. But i don't have anything to put on it.

I need somekind of weather and uptime display. Or security information.

Something like that.

Anyway whats the best program to display on my info screen?

if you're happy to make your own program you could display the in-game time

http will allow you to get the real world time

http could also allow you to display real world weather

some addons provide peripherals which allow reading of the current in-game weather

Moved to General.

another idea: if you have computer controlled doors then they could all report the current door state to this computer

I just made a network diagram that shows how my internal network is setup.


The 5 computers at the top are the ones that are connected to the doors. All them are wired into a single computer (located in the server room) That handles the incoming requests and then the requests get sent to the monitor.

All the wires go up into the false ceiling.

You can check my other threads to see the false ceiling and all the other stuff.

And it would be nice if someone could make the programs for me (I am a noob).

If you have a basic understanding of lua loops and if statments then you should be able to make it yourself

I always find this page on the wiki useful http://computercraft...i/Category:APIs

here's a general tutorial on program writting/problem solving: http://www.computerc...oals-manageable TLDR: identify the components which make the problem and take those sub-problems one at a time
