How exactly would I get a monitor [touch screen] to display and control a nuclear reactor and such from industrial craft 2? [I am a noob at coding]

Well... euhm... There is not really a short answer to that...

Well first, you'd need something to be able to wrap that machine as a peripheral. I suggest openperipheral. After that, you'd be able to wrap it directly, then output the data directly to your monitor program.

First of all: get some basic experience, that's the only tip I give you right now.

LoneWolf, you may want to search the forums for any programs that already do what you want. Otherwise, you'll need to write a program yourself to do what you want, and if you're not understanding, it's going to be a while before you get that program up to how you want it.

Learning isnt done over night. I do have a basic understanding of LUA its just I am not sure how to wrap a machine as a peripheral other then the monitor its self... and I've been searching the forums for it lol.

Thank you bloke just what I was looking for, a good place to start. I'm not looking to be told how to code something. I am looking how to learn how to code something. Thanks man.
