Will not mess up if it hits with obstacles!

Load it as if it were any other API!

Want to download it from a pastebin downloader? No problem!
http://pastebin.com/qURqLBp7

Use (API):
*Works on servers*
Use tortoise.up() instead of turtle.up() ;
Use tortoise.turnLeft() instead of turtle.turnLeft()
etc. (won't work with non-movement related turtle functions)
Tip: Refrain from back(), it doesn't work.

*NEW*
You can use tortoise.goto(x,y,z) to move to that area (if obstructed returns false).

x,y,z,d = tortoise.getXYZD() to get current coordinates. D stands for direction (north/south/east/west)
tortoise.printXYZD() to print current coordinates and direction.

Wired2coffee's Programs:

What it Does:
It'll save coordinates of the turtle for later use, just use tortoise. instead of turtle.

How to set it up on your computer after API is installed:
1. Type Lua
2. Type tortoise.setUp()

Don't know how to install an API? It's simple!:
1. Go to your computercraft folder in your mods folder.
2. Go into the folder lua.
3. Go into the folder rom.
4. Drag tortoise into your apis folder!.
