New buttons for computers!
You could code buttons on the computers and click them.
Imagine the possibilities!
Shortcuts.
Startmenu
etc.

You could also implement re-sizable windows.
Example
f = frame
f.width(400)
f.height(400)

And WAAAYYY more.

@Cloudy
Y u gotteh be so negative?
It could, when it does.. I'll gloat in your face!

If it doesn't ill make it.

You are only a member. Why should I believe you??

[Cloudy]

Excuse me? I know it isn't going to happen because it is against dan's vision for his mod. Hence why it is text based, with no colours. You can carry on holding your breath for it if you want, but prepare to be blue in the face.

[djblocksaway]

xD i guess you never know what might happen

I agree, but it would be nice to have f.width(400) f.height(400). Plus it is 100% posible since he (Dan200) did that in the config already.

[louisrocks40]

Excellent idea! However I do agree it goes against the vision of the mod. The current setup really gets rid of the distractions of GUIs and such. The os.pullEvent will work, and I think I will stick with that regardless. Just my two cents ^.^

[Noodle]

I meant like minecraft buttons if you missed that.
Ik it does mess with the GUI and/or the main idea.
It just seems easier to, atleast add a button to click on not a "ESC Menu button".
As for teraminer
IKR What if you could do that without going into the config!

[D3matt]

There is an API that adds clicking buttons. http://www.computerc...smads-programs/

Or this:

f = frame.new()
f.name = "Fart"
f.width = (400)
f.height = (400)
f.text = "Shutdown"
local event, id = os.pullEvent("button")
if id == "Fart" then
os.shutdown()
end

As I said before, it isn't going to happen. I know that Dan has no interest in making a GUI for computers - and on a personal level, it isn't something I am interested in developing either - so talking about implementation is moot.

[Noodle]

Not a gui, but a button that is flat. You can make it, style it (using #'s and symbols), JUST SOMETHING CLICKABLE.

Like this?

[Noodle]

Meh, similar but implemented!

[Teraminer]

Of course I mean without going in the config.

Uhm a button is a GUI component
Graphical
yeah the button, that oyu style and such

User Interface
it interfaces with the user

a UI isn't a GUI, I'm talking about a click event. Have a click event or a target item to click on.

[Pinkishu]

So ingame minecraft buttons? or what

still missing the point, we already have buttons

[Teraminer]

he means butttons like in the main menu (I think).
