Computertest

A ComputerCraft-inspired mod for Minetest!

Working Features

• LUA can be uploaded and ran on a turtle. See the API and the examples
• The turtle can do actions like mining, moving, turning, inventory management, and more!
• A "computertest" privilege, to limit turtle usage to trusted users (so only users with this privilege can use/edit turtles)
• Turtles consume fuel after completing hard actions such as mining (configurable)

An example of how to use this mod

1. Install the ComputerTest mod
2. Get a turtle block using either
   • The command /giveme computertest:turtle
   • The creative menu
   • The recipe

III
ICI
IMI
I = Steel Ingot , C = Chest , M = Mesa Block

3. Place the turtle
4. Right click it and click "Upload Code"
5. Paste this into the large field (sometimes Minetest requires you to paste twice) and click "Upload Code"

function init(turtle)
    while true do
        turtle:moveForward()
        turtle:turnRight()
    end
end

6. Watch as it spins around!

Other Information

The API.md contains important documentation for programming.

EXAMPLES.md contains some fun examples

Changes are Welcome!

Anyone interested in adding these features can! in entity/turtle.lua, I'd be interested in any great working pull requests!

Features to Add

• Inventory management commands, such as crafting and sorting
• The turtle code isn't sandboxed, so turtles could call dangerous functions. This has been mitigated by the "computertest" privilege, but proper sandboxing would work best.
