local left = true
for y=1,maxy do
   local x = 0
   while x <= maxx do
		while turtle.detect() do turtle.dig() sleep(0) end
		turtle.place()
		turtle.forwards()
   end
   if left then
	   left = false
	   turtle.turnLeft()
	   while turtle.detect() do turtle.dig() sleep(0) end
	   if not turtle.detect() then turtle.forwards() end
	   turtle.turnLeft()
   else
	   left = true
	   turtle.turnRight()
	   while turtle.detect() do turtle.dig() sleep(0) end
	   if not turtle.detect() then turtle.forwards() end
	   turtle.turnRight()
   end
end

You really should look around the forums however, this is both in the wrong place and the information you asked for is almost certainly in the forums somewhere.

Should put things like this in the "Ask a Pro" board

No, this is more "read the API description and the forum rules first." Ask a pro is for after you've done both of those.

Guys, calm down and don't rage.

And broken, read the rules before posting a new thread, and do some research before too

[ChunLing]

Oh, com'on, you've seen us rage and this is not it. We can be really bad when we get mad.

I might be stupid, or blind, but your while seems to be an infinite loop.
For that kind of loops, you usually go for a FOR loop, as you don't have to remember to increment the variable, even more with lua not supporting the "x+=1"

Well, at least the guy asked, even if he would have had his answers in the tutorial of the wiki.

See, much more rage-like.

woops, forgot x = x + 1
and using a while loop at that point worked just as well and made it a little bit simpler, if I was writing that in Notepad I probably would have used a for loop but I was sort of just writing it simply as an example of what could be done in the post box...
