Hey,

I'm looking for a program which allows me to control wireless turtles from the tap of a screen anyone got any ideas?
It would also be great if the program could link to a pocket computer so I can access it wherever.

Thanks :D/>

You can use the things at https://github.com/jv110/Gray/tree/master/dependencies/ui/ui to create an UI. then use the rednet_message event on the turtles to do something when a message is recieved

At least state "by jv110"!

Sorry. But there was no license specified, so I wasn't required to give credit when linking to something

What does a licence have to do with giving proper credit when linking to an author's program? That's a common courtesy, not a license issue. Having said said, I think it'll be obvious who wrote it if the link is followed.

While I don't know of an available touch screen turtle control (GoochGuy used to have one, but it's not available on Pastebin any longer), I *can* address your desire for turtle control via portable computer with a little shameless self-promotion - take a look at gtRemote. If gtRemote isn't what you're looking for, I've listed all the other portable turtle remote programs in the OP.
