[Turtle][CraftOS] Race Pro Kid's Programs - Simple Stuff - Random Generators, Turtle Controller [Test], Calculators, etc. [17]

THIS POST HAS MOVED TO MY WEBSITE. This post will stay up, but I will either be here rarely or not again.


These are some of my first programs. I taught myself Lua by looking at scripts others made. I find it fun to code, especially when my programs work. Most of these are test scripts and aren't very advanced. Now, on to the less boring stuff.

Changes/News

Spoiler

Wed. March 14

Added A virus tutorial, "House Fence", and Turtle Controller.

Fri. March 16

Added pictures for the calculators and generators, added two videos for the self-destruct and house builder.

Sun. March 25

Added a download of a source code version of my scripts and had a small update for the calculators.

Sat. April 14

Wow, I haven't been very active on here lately, I'm starting to *somewhat* lose interest in Minecraft. I still love it, but there are other things to do.
anyway, off the boring life stuff and onto the real news. I am soon going to have an installer for my scripts! I am also taking installation requests. I now have made the installer! It will replace the old complete download.

Downloads
Download a direct download of an installer for all of my programs from Dropbox here, or download an independent file from each program info spoiler.

My Programs
Random Generators

Spoiler

Number Generator

Spoiler

When you run it, It first asks, "Between [#]", and you type in a number where the # is. It then asks, "and [#]", and again, type a number. It then randomly selects a number between A and B.

Download

Phone Number Generator

Spoiler

All this does is spit out a random phone number. Pretty simple.

Download

Name Generator

Spoiler

Does what it says. Spits out a random name. I am still collecting names at the moment, so technically it's a WIP.

Download

Turtle

Spoiler

Turtle Controller

Spoiler

Just run it and use WASD to move and turn, Q to break blocks in front of the Turtle, E to place blocks, space to go up and CTRL to go down. The Turtle will automatically break blocks above it when it moves up, and the same down.

Download

House Builder

Spoiler

Full House

Spoiler

Builds a descent 9x7 (meant it to be 8x6, but it turned out different :mellow:/>/>) house. To run: place 2 stacks of wood or any other (placeable) material into the Turtle's inventory, then about 19-64 of the same material. This is because it takes 64+64+19 blocks to make a house. Then place at least 21 blocksin the next slot for the window material, then at least 4 torches in the next slot, then at least 43 fence blocks in the next slot and 1 fence gate in the next. When You start it up, it will start with the skeleton, then the windows, then the torches, then the fence.

Download

House Skeleton

Spoiler

Just makes the house, no windows, no torches. Look at Full House for more.

Download

House Windows

Spoiler

Just makes the windows. WARNING: WILL NOT DETECT HOUSES. LEAVE THE TURTLE IN THE PLACE WHERE IT STOPS FROM MAKING THE HOUSE SKELETON OR FULL HOUSE.

Download

House Torches

Spoiler

Just places the torches. Places the torches sideways in some parts though, will fix.WARNING: WILL NOT DETECT HOUSES. LEAVE THE TURTLE IN THE PLACE WHERE IT STOPS FROM MAKING THE HOUSE SKELETON OR FULL HOUSE.

Download

House Fence

Spoiler

Just places a fence around the house. Place at least 43 fence blocks (or whatever material you want to use) into the first Turtle slot, then at least 1 fence gate or fence, depending of if you want a gate. Fence gate might be placed sideways, depending on the way you placed the Turtle, eg, North/South - should be fine, East/West - gate will be sideways. WARNING: WILL NOT DETECT HOUSES. LEAVE THE TURTLE IN THE PLACE WHERE IT STOPS FROM MAKING THE HOUSE SKELETON OR FULL HOUSE.

Calculators

Spoiler

Calculator

Spoiler

A full calculator. Proper syntax: calc [number] [+, -, *, or /] [number]

Self Destruct

Spoiler

Sets off redstone outputs everywhere. Literally, on every side of the computer. Just place TNT under/next to/behind/above the computer to make it work. There isn't any known way to do it through Lua. When you run it, it asks if you are sure you want to continue, and you have to say "yes" or "no". Saying "yes" will start the countdown and will let you head for the hills.

Virus [Tutorial]

Spoiler

Part 1 - The virus:
When you place down a computer, type "edit startup". This will let you edit the startup script for that computer. Once in, type "print ("Your computer is infected!")", or whatever you want. Then start a new line and type "sleep(2)". Start another line. Finally, type "os.shutdown()". What this does is whenever you start up your computer, it will be uncontrollable (except if you press CTRL+T, which force-stops the program; to fix that remove the first two lines).

Part 2 - The anti-virus:
Put down a drive next to a different computer and put an unchanged floppy disk in it. Now in the computer type "edit disk/startup". It will bring you to the edit screen. Now just type "print ("Anti-Virus Plus loaded successfully.")". Press CTRL, press enter when "save" is selected, then press "exit". Now put the floppy into a drive next to the infected computer and start it up. It should say "Anti-Virus Plus loaded successfully."

Anyone need pictures?

Request a program, eh? If you're interested, I've been wanting to make a buncha programs for an Airport I made, but I don't know crap in Lua. If you want, parhaps you could join my Hamachi server, so I can see how things are going, give input, and hopefully learn some stuff at the same time? (Annoyingly, some stuff in my airport has to wait untill RedPower updates. I also got an subway, but I don't think I'll put computers there.)

Hey, I know a good one… Possibly a script that makes a Turtle build a ramp from a building to an airplane, the ground to an airplane, or anything else, and break it upon command? Sound cool? :D/>/>

I am currently working a controllable Turtle. You can go forward, backward, up, down, turn left, turn right, dig, place, and set the selected block in the Turtle's inventory.

With rednet? Already made by me :D/>/> Even dance function. But I can easily set it to local control to. I think I will add this

Nah, with the turtle… I know all the simple stuff, but I don't know the hard/really hard stuff. It's weird. I can't find any middle stuff, lol.

Edit: that's a long quote chain. I'll take it out.

Edit 2: I forgot to say that I use and love your remote-controlled Turtle idea. I've been trying to decipher what I can from your code, but I still need to figure out some new stuff so I can.

I can help you understand it and thx for liking it :D/>/>

Here's an idea for a program: An analogue clock emulator for a 3x3 monitor display. As far as I know, that would be difficult, but it'd look sweet in a modern style grand central train station as a centerpiece.

Hey, can I make it… well… simple? And possibly make it an actual clock with art from zeh text, and just count seconds? So just a movie basically?

I shall request thee program.
Im fairly new to computercraft, and I'm basically looking for a code to put in my turtle(s) they are able to strip mine. Any ideas?

Strip mining? What's that? maybe I can build it

Erm, what's strip mining? Don't bash me, I've just never heard it before.

Nevermind. If no one else knows what it is, Google it.

Strip mining: Mining in large quantities at once, such as clearing a hole chunk away.
Well, maybe strip mining isnt what i want. Branch mining should do it.
Branch Mining: Digging 1x1x7 "branches" along a main shaft. Try looking it up on the wiki.

Also, from previous videos, i've seen a block where the turtle will drop it's items in it and continue mining. Is this another mod?

Bump

OK I could try to programm branch mining :D/>/>

You should make a game

Request-A-Program

id like to request a a program to auto controll a door and lighting system on a per room base, and have it use the API for the bundled wires from redpower i use the redworks OS atm ona server

Could you please make a game. Like snake, pong and other classic games.

(Not snake and pong, those are already made :(/>/>)

Thanks

Wait, how would branch mining help turtles? They don't know if they hit anything valuable… well I guess you could make sure each turtle has 1 block of cobble, dirt, and gravel to compare to their surroundings. Does compare actually work? I haven't used it yet

EDIT: I tested it, and turtle.compare() works just fine. So comparing to a set of bad blocks is not a problem.

Honestly though, the biggest problem for turtles is not picking up bad blocks, but carrying them home. I would just have it keep one of each bad block in its inventory, and drop those blocks whenever it mines it. Then it would reach max capacity of useful stuff slower.

You can make the turtle drop the scrap blocks after mining them. (Sorry for being out of topic)
Great programs! I could make them all myself, but only if i really want to.

about the airport server thing…I wud luv to give it a go and make a few programs for it…what's the ip?

Make a analog or digital clock that will be shown on a monitor :)/>/>

probably is RedPower or BuildCraft
i havnt seen any other mod that has that kind of block,describe what it looked like adn ill see what mod it is
