Wow second post in one day, I'll prolly be banned for being a spam bot any min now! lol.

Well anyways, I'm trying to create a mining turtle, I'm having a real bad problem trying to understand how and what im doing wrong.

Currently I'm trying to move the turtle (yes I'm a n00b), so far i have this:


turtle.forward()

saved in a file called tunnel, but when I call that program it does nothing, I have coal in the first slot on the turtle….any suggestions?

I would really like to get my program out to this community my idea is great and I think alot of people will benifit from it, I'm just a stupid n00b that cant work out the most simple things lol…

Having coal in the turtle does nuttin' unless you fuel it. Run the program 'refuel' or call turtle.refuel()

Oh, and two posts a day isn't spam. I average maybe 25 per day. :P/>

With turtle.refuel(), yes, the fuel must be in the currently selected slot.

With the refuel program, I don't think it matters, but I'm not 100% sure.

I've been on the forums for a long time, I just haven't been a complete addict that long. If there was a way to reset average posts, it would be about 25.
