How to start the program? I download the .zip-File but there is no .jar/.exe-File! Please answer /> Thanks!

Ah I think I have to put the computercraft.jar-File somewhere, right? But where...

Nice program, works well for me.

Some feature requests:(probably in the works but not mentioned)

IMPORT of existing CC files. I have figured out a work around but native in program would be nice.
Export of CCEMU files. Worked this out too, again native makes it easier.

TurtleCraft sim. With a pop up window that gives a wireframe 3d view of what the turtle is doing.
(If you have a few spare minutes.)

Updated 26Nov: Found out that you can stay in game, tab out and use the emu and then save and in game program is updated.
Sweet. Still would like turtle sim.

Question:


Is it possible to have more than one instance running, that when modems are added would allow for crosstalk between the instances? (Creating a virtual CC net)

I know nothing of java other than it is a drink. So I do not know if that is even possible.

I'm considering switching to LWJGL3 instead of LibGDX & LWJGL2, this has some pros&cons:
Pros:
- Would allow me to be compatible with OpenGL 1.x
- Would allow some cool features using multiple windows and OpenGL contexts, like potentially to 'pop out' individual terminals (or make monitors for that matter), or open sessions in new windows, have a 'world' view(for turtles and stuff) etc

Cons:
- Would require a rewrite of a large proportion of the emulator, but would hopefully mean it'd be tidier code the second time through
- Would mean a hard dependency on Java 7 and for OSX 10.7

There's probably some others that I've missed, but was wondering what your guys opinions were?

Sounds good to me.

I wouldn't worry about the Java/OS X issue. Java's always a real main in the neck regardless of what version you're running anyway. Because Mavericks (10.9) and Yosemite (10.10) are free I believe the overwhelming majority (like 90% or something, maybe even higher) are using versions greater than 10.7, so don't worry about it.

to that point, 10.7 and 10.8 were also only like $20 so the majority of people got those too.

You should do it, people woth older computers like me would be able to use it.

The launcher with the news feed was never released, it was scrapped in favour of the current one.

Given 1.65 didn't add any functionality over 1.63 that I know of, none that affects the emu at least, only turtles, and bug fixes.
I can probably just drop it in.

I love this emulator, no need to test operating systems ingame now!

I thought this one still had a news feed... shows how often I've been doing dev lately.

[TheKickstart]

Awesome. Now I dont need to work on FlixOS Metro ingame. I can also play 1.8 without having to wait for ComputerCraft to update to 1.8.
Good Job

just wondering, can we expect a location setting so I could set the emulator directory into something like Dropbox or a USB making them more portable if you switch between machines often like myself

You can already do this. It's in the bottom of the OP.

[thedobbles]

Just curious if you were thinking about adding the option of a turtle in the future...? *Hopes for a yes *

[Endergreen117]

That switch to LWJGL3, is that happening? I would really like to know, because right now I'm stuck on my old MacBook and don't have the ability to upgrade to OpenGL 2.0. I even installed Linux to install Java 7, and to be free of the restrictions of OS X 10.5.

I just wanted to say: Thank you for not blocking symlinks! Helps tremendously!

[LDDestroier]

This is my favorite CC emulator, cuz it works with OneOS.

Could you try adding fullscreen and resizable windows?

[Xtansia]

As the changing to LWJGL3 has hit a few snags, and won't be a quick change,
I have backported to LibGDX 0.9.9 to enable me to support running on OpenGL 1.0
I also added the ability to double click sessions to load them.
Another change I made recently but didn't post about was I updated to ComputerCraft 1.65

At the moment I'm going to put the LWJGL3 / GLFW change on the backburner as all of the 'heavy lifting' in regards to graphics and ui management is performed by LibGDX at the moment, so I need to figure out what I'm going to do about that.

Something I've been thinking about implementing after seeing a few threads recently,
is to modify how I load ComputerCraft so that I could do bytecode modification to do things like enable the debug library
aswell as enable using the alternative LuaJC compiler for improved lua performance
And then possibly add the ability to choose the CC version to be used
