I haven't really used computer craft before but I thought this would be a good way to learn it.
The turtle treats the pillars as if they were square instead of round because it was easier to use a recursive function rather than dealing with lots of turns.
place the turtle like this facing the pillar and put fuel in slot 16. You also want everything above the turtle to be air.
o is empty space
x is obsidian
T is the turtle
