I made a simple program for computers that is able to act like some kinds of redstone gates.

You can get it with:
pastebin get 2g4pAN2U RedGates

Features:

Spoiler

-7 Gates: NOT-Gate, AND-Gate, NAND-Gate, OR-Gate, Redstone clock, XOR-Gate, XNOR-Gate, Randomizer
-wireless transmission of redstone signals

Screenshots(outdated):

Spoiler

changelog:

Spoiler

1.01
-you can select sides now
1.1
-added wireless transmission
-exit programs with tab
1.2
-added T-Flip-Flop
-using os.pullEvent() to make it more efficient
1.2.1
-added Randomizer
-made code a little bit more efficient

Upcoming features:
-more gates
-(maybe in the future) combine gates (not sure if i am good enough in lua to do that)
-possibility to add own gates in the program
-maybe synchronized clocks over rednet
-simulate inputs

If you find bugs or have tips for me to do this better feel free to comment

There are 16 gates and you can edit it to work with redstone, top and bottom for the inputs and the others for a binary selector of what gate to use

and where should the outputs be?

You might want to make it so that you can set where the inputs/outputs are, but overall, nice program!

i am working on that

Edit: impleted it in 1.01
Edit 2: does anyone know how to make the program quit if you press a key? i tried it with some of the code in the tutorials on the wiki, but then it did nothing anymore until i pressed a key

You need to run your program in parallel (waitForAny) with key detection.

Example:

function f1()
  while true do
    print("Lol, i'm runnin\'")
    sleep(1)
  end
  return
end

function f2()
  e = nil
  while e ~= "key" do
    e = os.pullEvent("key")
  end
  return
end

parallel.waitForAny(f1, f2)
return

Thanks for the help! I will use that in a new version that I will make tomorrow if I have time for that

hello, i just made an update with wireless redstone, but its crashing every time i tried to use it. I dont know very much about rednet so could you help me out with this, please?
The code of the beta version:

edit : i have figured out what i did wrong and fixed it
edit 2: update 1.1 is out now, which contains this

[Spongy141]

Seems cool

[FuuuAInfiniteLoop(F.A.I.L)]

with 16 options, you can use 4 wires for the options nad 2 for the redstone inputs and when the inputs are off, output the result
