I am a peripheral developer; however, I need ideas. Anyone have a peripheral they want?
This is a read-only snapshot of the ComputerCraft forums,

holographic renderer :P/>
so basically that lets it render anything in a given radius around it, though the rendered stuff would appear "ghostly"
using proxy functions for open gl rendering i suppose

A possibly insane to do but extravagant as hell: a gravity activator for turtles -> makes turtles fall.
A practical one for OpenCCsensors ( I talked a lot about doing it myself, but I got sidetracked with networks and ect): a radar sensor (basic version tells if block at relative coordinates x,y,z is air or not). Better, faster, and more realistic pathfinding.
A very practical one for networks: satellite dish peripheral. Allows communication over unloaded chunks at extreme distances, not at short ones.
Another practical one for dynamic networks: emits a pre-set rednet message when the computer/turtle chunk is about to be unloaded.

parallel.waitForAny(function()
while true do
turtle.down()
sleep(1)
end,
function()
-- your code here
end
)

Heh, quite true. Also can't think of a legit reason to do that.A possibly insane to do but extravagant as hell: a gravity activator for turtles -> makes turtles fall.parallel.waitForAny(function() while true do turtle.down() sleep(1) end, function() -- your code here end )
Holographs I have been toying with, but I want to have support for projecting mod blocks as well. Can't quite figure out how to create a dynamic system for that.

Well, I did say it was extravagant, and I think you know that I meant falling like an anvil does. Oh well.Heh, quite true.

I'm not for extravagant stuff; if it has a use, I'll be happy to code it (holograms) but not the useless stuff.

Stoner turtles! They will sit around sleeping 90% of the time the other 10% of the time they will be smoking a bong.
