[FuuuAInfiniteLoop(F.A.I.L)]

as the title says i need a list of all the apis and functions that are included in computercraft, im making a project and i need that list

[Lyqyd]

Why? The documentation is pretty good, so why on earth would you need this list?

That does cover the things ComputerCraft adds, but the wiki doesn't generally duplicate documentation for the normal Lua functions, so it is not exhaustive.

I don't think anyone has put a comprehensive list like that together, mostly because it's unnecessary. Why don't you go ahead and assemble it?

[KaoS]

local function tList(t,path)
  for k,v in pairs(t) do
	if type(v)=="table" and v~=_G then
	  tList(v,(path or "").."->"..k)
	elseif type(v)=="function" then
	  print((path or "").."->"..k)
	end
  end
end
tList(_G)

that will give you a list of all functions that are global

EDIT: please note that if there are any global, recursive tables it will crash... I can make a way around that easily but will only do so if you need it

thanks, Working on one of the biggest projects on computercraft

[Doyle3694]

I think calling it one of the biggest is a bit optimistic.

...and a little bit arrogant as well.

He managed to make me curious though..

[FuuuAInfiniteLoop(F.A.I.L)]

it dowsnt matter project cancelled, MP if you want to know what the project was

EDIT: due to technical difficulties on how lua works

[Lyqyd]

What was it?

[ChunLing]

Was it bigger than that universe simulator someone proposed a while back? Which also was scrapped due to the limitations of Lua?

I'm not saying that dreaming big isn't a good thing. Just that you need to be careful not to appear as someone who doesn't believe that other people are also dreaming big dreams.

I dreamed of writing a program that would save the world. But it proved more difficult and less lucrative than siding with those planning to destroy it. So I know how it feels, to give up on a big dream. Don't let it get you down, at least not all the time (I have wistful moments myself, from time to time).
