That sounds good to me

I'll start work on it later. If you want I can also do the web part, just set up a project page for the repo and add me.

Can we call it 'man'? Maybe it's just cause I'm a bash junkie, but it sounds really nice to me.

Suggestions:
I made a few functions you may want to use (they are related to monitors, text, and colors)
http://pastebin.com/VcnWaK0L
I especially recommend scrollText, prompt, and parseColor
I have debugged all this code as much as possible before submitting it, so you shouldn't have any problems with it. (also its really not that complex of code, just helpful stuff).

Some stuff to help you understand the code

Here's a program I wrote using the api:
http://pastebin.com/JgwNGLuR
and here's what the program looked like before I used the api:

I do personally prefer my own parseColor that I've used in ccConfig (although I've named it validateColour in there).

The Code

local function parseColor(source)
  --# parse number inputs
  if tonumber(source) then
	local shifted = math.floor(math.log(tonumber(source))/math.log(2)) --# here's the magic line that turns multiple colours into one in the same way CC does
	if shifted >= 0 and shifted <= 15 then
	  return 2^shifted
	end
	return false, "colour out of range"
  --# parse string inputs
  elseif type(source) == "string" then
	source =  source:lower():gsub("%s*", ""):gsub("colou?rs?%.?", ""):gsub("lightb(.+)", "lightB%1"):gsub("lightg(.+)", "lightG%1")
	source = colors[source] or colours[source]
	return (source ~= nil and source or false), (not source and "invalid string input" or nil)
  end
  --# reject other inputs
  return false, "expected number/string, got "..type(source)
end

Just Some Supported Inputs

1 through to 8 should output # | 8 : 8
9 should output # | 2 : 2

print(1, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor(colours.lightBlue))
print(2, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("light blue"))
print(3, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("LiGHtBlUe"))
print(4, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("li gh  t b lu e"))
print(5, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("color lightBlue"))
print(6, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("colorslight blue"))
print(7, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("colour.lightBlue"))
print(8, ' | ', colours.lightBlue, ' : ', parseColor("colours.lightBlue"))
print(9, ' | ', colours.orange, ' : ', parseColor(colours.combine(colours.white, colours.orange)))

it should be noted that the last parse turns multiple colour input into only a single colour in the same fashion it is done in ComputerCraft, this can be seen by doing term.setBackgroundColour(colours.combine(colours.white, colours.orange)) print("This background is orange") which as you can see by the last parse my parser will return orange.

Documentation for valid input

When somebody created an API, and he wants to add his api in enderAPI what shall he do?

Go to https://github.com/S...alSTDz/EnderAPI -> choose the branch 'prerelease' and add it to the repo in the 'apis' folder. An even quicker link (which already is in the prerelease branch!): https://github.com/S...tree/prerelease

Then I think we'll decide if its stable enough for an actual release

PS: if you want to test your API in the prerelease with the launcher, run the following line in your shell: launcher -prerelease
This will take the files from the prerelease branch instead the master branch!

Err it would just fork it and make a PR, not actually add it

True, but the installer for EnderAPI uses the official code, it doesn't check pull requests

[SuicidalSTDz]

Updated main post. More cleaning to come.

Cheers!

[SuicidalSTDz]

Greetings!

A new pre-release for EnderAPI has been released here. Please feel free to leave comments on the new 'look' and if you think it could be better, and how. You may also download this pastebin if you are in-game and do not have the luxury of copying and pasting.

Changes:
- EnderAPI now uses the GUI API by account.username (Note: This was not a request by said user)
- New GUIs (obviously)

More to come, as always. Cheers!

[SuicidalSTDz]

Version 6.3.0 released!

Changes:
- Added more GUIs/Cosmetics
- Added an initialization timer ( To track how long it took EnderAPI to set-up )
- Added a new global table declared as _G.enderAPI ( It's structure is as followes: _G.enderAPI.version [That is all] )
- Removed the messageBox API and included the Debug API
- Various other things that are not worth mentioning, besides more error handling ( I have an feeling I forgot something )

You can find this update in the master branch of the EnderAPI github repository. As well, this update is indisputably riddled with the nasties. Please report said nasties in the comment section of this post. Thanks!

Version 6.3.1 Released!

Changes:
- Bug fix regarding a setup GUI

Currently Working On:
- Fixing a bug regarding the new term api ( The edit program will not work when EnderAPI is loaded. Computers must be restarted without EnderAPI loaded to utilize the edit program at the moment )

Edit: Note, you can choose not to install the term API and that will resolve the issue temporarily

Happy Holidays,

[Engineer]

Can I please be taken off the list as developer? Thats because I do not code for ComputerCraft anymore, and I want this topic to be at the very least accurate
Also, it is nice to see this alive again!
