Some Wild Suggestions

1) Cyborgs: Right click any vanila entity(pig/cow) with mind control helmet and you can use it like a turtle.
2) Bigger robots: Mechs and Walkers for starters. Turtles with legs and hands.
3) Micro entities(Sub Blocks): Small nanobot like turtles which will behave like…errr… nanobots. :P/>
4) Assembly Lines: Just like in car factories for manufacturing the bigger turtles.
5) GL Support: So that people can recreate (at least) classic minecraft or minecraft4k inside one of the computers.
6) Hostile entities: Skynet reborn! :D/> (Say: Hostile nanobots will eat up your farm etc)
7) Hyper RedNet Support: Rednet across worlds. Say my Computer in singleplayer will be able to communicate with a computer in multiplayer which is on a different server.
8) Talking turtles(With each other): Turtles/computers standing adjacent will be able to send or receive messages without rednet.
9) Rocket turtles: Faster than regular turtles.
10) Computers will shortcircuit when exposed to water: Buzzzt!

Eight is already apparently sort of possible, in that queueEvent is supposedly exposed as a peripheral method.

Never seen it before. Any sample program to illustrate, please?

No to every suggestion. And it isn't possible from Lua - and you'd have to code a peripheral to do it which goes on both turtles.

Ah, thanks anyways.

Technically isn't 9 just the new turtle mode in the new one?

The mode that never made it to release?

Someone's been lying to me in IRC, then! Gonna have to track 'em down. It seemed… highly unusual that that would be exposed.

Let me clarify.

Crap, Cloudy's here. Play it cool, play it cool. Time for the old switcheroo.

Just joking. Don't hurt me Lyqyd! Please D:

EDIT: Btw, what's up with Cloudy's quote? TheOriginalBIT's name turned out a little weird. Oh yeah, is this necroposting? Not sure. Sorry if it is. :S

I was on holidays so my username was TheOriginalBIT (OnHolidays) and it looks to me like the quote tag might accept the char ( and ) instead of its code…
