computercraft? - Nickster258 - 06-07-2013
What is the best tutorial/method to learn lua?
Also, turtles?
Can you give me examples of scripts you have written? All I have written was a locked door in FTB, and if you enter the passcode wrong a tesla coil turns on for 15 seconds killing the lowly peasants.

Don't EVER lean lua. EVER.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW

I just want to learn lua to program computercraft. I know it is really touchy.

This is the dumbest decision you can ever take.

Apparently not... How else do you suggest me to learn computer craft?
RE: computercraft? - mad1231999 - 06-07-2013
I don't. You shouldn't.
RE: computercraft? - Chibill - 06-07-2013
Make a C interpreter for it.
RE: computercraft? - Nickster258 - 06-08-2013
Oh ok. I guess I need to learn C then.

C is not interpreted, it is compiled.
RE: computercraft? - Chibill - 06-08-2013
Yes but it would be an interpreter in CC because you can't run C on LUA if its not interrupted.
RE: computercraft? - mort96 - 06-08-2013
CC is fun. Even the Lua part of it. Programmable computers in MC = awesomeness.

*Mutilates Computercraft*
RE: computercraft? - Chibill - 06-09-2013
I can make a wifi pineapple with CC.
(Virt get over here let me put this wifi modem and CCC in your brain!)

Then use a damn interpreted language. And I don't see why LUA is so bad.
RE: computercraft? - Xeomorpher - 06-11-2013
Then you don't see anything.
RE: computercraft? - fl3tching101 - 06-15-2013
Ok, yes, Lua is a pretty horrifying language, but computer craft is a LOT of fun. And nobody is actually answering his question but rather bashing/supporting CC! So for answering the question, there is no really dead set method to learning a language. I have done a bit in CC and it is tons of fun, but honestly most of it is CC API and not much to do with the Lua language. Kind of like how the Arduino is programmed with a C based language, most of the actual coding done is specific to it rather than C. In conclusion, how I learned was simply watching some tuts for basic syntax layout and whatnot on youtube, combined with previous programming experience, and finally the computer craft wiki has tons of info on the APIs/Turtles/peripherals and how to use them. Hope I helped!

RE: computercraft? - Malcolmforde - 06-18-2013
A Etho joke: (Relates to him coding in computercraft)
Code:
rain = 0
etho = 1
if etho == 1 then
rain = rain + 1
end
if rain == 1 then
print("You: DAMNIT ETHO!")
print("Etho: Sorry, it seems to always rain when I code")
end
sleep(4)
rain = rain - 1
print("You: Good, its gone.")

RE: computercraft? - Malcolmforde - 06-20-2013
I learned LUA by staring at it for a few mins, figure out what I saw does, and make something similar to prove my theory. I am practically a LUA master now.

How about we tear apart computercraft, rip out lua and throw in jython!
RE: computercraft? - Xeomorpher - 06-26-2013
Or just python xD
RE: computercraft? - qwerasd205 - 06-26-2013
oooor
Perl!
Perl's free form syntax is perfect!
Not to mention, as the doctor would say, Sexy!

I can try and make a Jython API for CC?

well.... i suppose my message was a bit long but you could just put --[Blocked for length]--
instead of making me say something I do not believe. the way you edited my message was abuse of powers, Xeo if you would mind please change any messages of mine that you don't like to "--[Blocked for (REASON)]--" thank you.

Some one is making a CC like mod that the code is JS.
