Now, from the title, you may be thinking, "Why does he need help with a program to make his turtle go forward?"
Answer:
1) New to LUA, semi-new to coding (beginner to C++, completely new to LUA)
2) This program is designed to make the turtle go x distance in a straight line, trying to avoid mining the blocks directly in front of it and keep track of d items mined.
My problem is that with this code I am getting errors not in the code itself but in its execution. You see, I am trying to make the turtle go over an obstacle, check if it has another obstacle, and if it doesn't, to go down. But when it encounters an obstacle, it repeats the loop of avoiding the obstacle even when the turtle doe snot, in fact, have an obstacle in front of it anymore. Without the obstacle, it runs fine.
I have tried fixing this part of the code to no avail, so here is my code pre-screwing it up to see what works and what doesn't.
Because I'm new both to coding and to Lua, any tips on cleaning up the code would also be appreciated.
