I’m finally getting around to posting some more of the code I have created in my ComputerCraft Challenge series!
This is the API I wrote to simplify several common turtle functions, along with integrating internal location tracking. For the moment the turtle needs to be facing north when initialized, but that is something which is high on my list to fix. Load the API either using os.loadAPI() or by placing the script file (named “t”) in the /ComputerCraft/lua/rom/apis/turtle/ folder of your Minecraft installation.
If you have GPS start any script using the API with t.initLoc() to sync the internal position with that of the GPS. I’ll edit this post a bit later when I get this up on TurtleScripts so it can be pulled from a computer in-game.
This is a post I’m long overdue putting up, but finally I decided to just get this code posted, nevermind worrying about a long drawn out explanation for it all.
I have been very busy over the past two months! It was about that long ago that I decided to relaunch my YouTube channel as a place for my “Let’s Play” gaming videos. I’ve worked hard to bulk up the channel since then and now I really need to give things a cohesive feel.
You can take a look at the sidebar to the right to see what I have planned for my YouTube upload schedule. You can see my gaming, and so my channel, tends to focus on Minecraft and other indie games of that sort. I don’t plan on following that trend exclusively but I’m sure that will be the central theme. There are a number of things that I’d like to do missing from that schedule, but as I get more efficient at producing videos I’m sure I’ll be able to squeeze in more.
A game that I need to get back into the schedule as soon as possible is FTL: Faster Than Light. I had an absolute blast playing that game for the first time and I promise that getting more video of it up has been on my mind ever since!
Finally I want to mention that I wont be “spamming” this blog with every video upload I make anymore. I’ve added a new page which will show the latest videos on my channel, it’s up on the menu bar, you can check what’s new there. The only videos which I will post here are any vlogs that I do, as I hope to begin using those instead of posts here. They’ll focus on giving channel updates and announcements, along with personal bits about myself as I see fit.
I appreciate everyone who’s been watching and subscribing, and especially thank you to those who have taken the time to comment on my videos. I love comments! So until I see you from my first vlog, happy gaming!
A primitive jungle friend pays a visit to Ben and Maqt’s technological headquarters (aka hole). They also bring a pipeline to the pumpkin farm to retrieve Pumpfrey’s harvest.
I’ve been excited to upload this episode, as it’s the first one that shows off one of my favorite parts of Tekkit, the ComputerCraft mod.
I get the basics of the code written for Pumpfrey to handle our pumpkin farming automatically. Also I talk briefly about some equipment I’m in the process of upgrading to make better quality videos.
