function f
  turtle.forward()	   --this is line 65 Btw
end

Edit: My rank realy fits with this question.

You name a function like this,

function funcName()
--Code to do
end
funcName()

The first thing you did wrong was not posting the whole code. The second thing you did wrong was not using parentheses in your function declaration, or your function calls.

function f()
  turtle.forward()
end
f()
f()
f()

this is easy and hard
in function f() u forgot to add brackets and the variable to count how far forwards
the f needs bracks f()

function f(distance_var)
  turtle.forward(distance_var)
end
f(2) -- 2 blocks
f(6) -- 6 blocks

lyqyd is a better answer

[Tjakka5]

And that is why I never use functions.

Thanks guys!

This is incorrect. turtle.forward() does not accept arguments.

Yes, when I tried that, it didnt work.
Btw, my giant system is coming along nicely.

Currently working on turtle 1 of 17, and 87 lines of code on him...

Juste use a disk, to transfer code

[elcid534]

doesnt it accept arguments? oh well i rarely use turtles anyway thx for correcting me

That wouldnt work because all the turtles do something different.

[sjele]

Ohh. I guess you have to make it then.
Good luck

[ChunLing]

Use a disk to open the turtle to accept a file over rednet, and then have the central controller send it.

Would this work?

function f(distance_var)
  for i = 1,distance_var do
    turtle.forward()
  end
end
f(2) -- 2 blocks
f(6) -- 6 blocks

Yes, that would work, providing the turtle had fuel to move eight spaces.
