And what is the difference between this and lua?

1) Commands

[briman0094]

Commands...as in the things you can already do in Lua? Stop trying to pull this off as some "programming language." It's aliases for other functions. I vote to lock.

Why a link, that just downloads another link.................

1) What exactly do you mean by "commands"?
2) What? So much confusion with that statement o.O
3) Its just a wrapper around existing functions, so it just adds more overhead to programs, maybe if more was being done, but you're doing just a simple one line call in each function.

• This is an API, not a programming language.
  
• You got 31 lines of code. Lua got roughly 20000.
  
• Most of these functions does nothing else than to refer to a function from cc/Lua.
  
• It's easier to just call a function from cc/Lua directly.
  
• It's completely useless.
  
• It's called functions; not commands.

I meant, why should I use kalbex.writeln("TEXT") instead of print("text")? It's faster to write and more efficient. This API is completely useless, but you can expand this API and it will be more useful. For example, you can create a write function like kalbex.write("text", x, y, textColor, backgroundColor) instead of wrapping Lua functions.

I am just wondering...but what is the difference between this and the term and OS API?
There is none, it is just copied.

EDIT: I wonder what will happen with the KOS? Why not just use the term and textutils APIs instead? That way we don't need to install this...API.

[svdragster]

This is really no Programming language It's an API, which only uses different names for same stuff.
But of course, here is a thing you could improve.

At the top of your program you have in line 2

-- Kalbex Version: V1.0

and at the bottom

function getkv()
  print("Kalbex Version: V1.0")
  print("Coded by UNIXUSER400")
end

Here you could make it easier:

version = "V1.0"
author = "UNIXUSER400"
function getkv()
  print("Kalbex Version: "..version)
  print("Coded by "..author)
end

Of course this isn't really necessary in a short code, but in longer programs this is useful so you don't have to write everything over and over again.

[TheGamerOfAction]

Like many people, I believe these 'Commands' are just aliases for actual Lua functions. You could, however, make them more sophisticated than the Lua functions, as diegodan1893 has already suggested.

Look at my cPrint API :3
