Turtle programming ise or emulator

[krustykrab]

Is there a mod/tool/app that allows turtle programming outside of minecraft?

Writing/testing code inside minecraft is a pain.

An emulator for testing would be cool.

thanks

Not that I know of. But you can edit code outside of minecraft if you go to the "computer" subfolder of your save folder.

yea. already do that. but you need access to the server and other users would not have that luxury.

You should use pastebin.com to store your programs. Loading the programs in MC is as simple as:

pastebin get pastebincode programname

Here is an example of one of my codes:
The url to the code is: http://pastebin.com/rjfa4ymR
To load this program ingame all I would have to do then is:

pastebin get rjfa4ymR energymonitor

The program is then stored on the computer/turtle as "energymonitor" ready to use.


Pastebin even offer LUA highlighting, but only after you save the code. But it is good enough that I actually just program my stuff directly on pastebin.

just grab a lua interpreter from somewhere and provide dummy implementations for the CC provided API

Dummy as in empty function bodies or do the functions actually do something?

Make your program in singleplayer and edit it on your computer. When you are finsih and its working send it to pastebin from MC and log in on the server and download them there

depends, you can use a simulated environment for the complex stuff (following a path with obstacles), but simple stuff just needs empty stubs
