I have tried taking programming in college and couldn't stand it. But getting help from a turtle atm would be so helpful does anyone know where i can find a turtle program to have it place blocks 123 blocks long and 32 blocks wide but only one block in depth? and if there is one out there how i do get it into my turtles database of useable programs?

To get a program written by someone else on your computer/turtle the easiest way is to use the pastebin program that comes standard on all ComputerCraft stuff. i.e. "pastebin get 3mkeUzby OreQuarry" will download AustinKK's amazing quarry program and save it as "OreQuarry." "3mkeUzby" is the pastebin link to that program.

As for a program to build you a platform, that's actually pretty straight forward if you'd like to code it yourself. The only real trick would be making sure it doesn't run out of materials, but that could be done with a little manual monitoring.

If you want something that's already been written, I'd recommend the versatile shape builder. It's a little overkill for just a platform, but that's what jumps to mind for me. It includes support for resupply stations, so it would also be very easy to make sure it has the materials it needs.
