I'm currently watching a stream with Fireball1725 and Direwolf20, direwolf has said that his code is buggy.
I presume he will make a better release later.
so, just hold on.
He also said that he releases each version of his code under a different pastebin URL.

I see that "template" is highlighted blue.
Is that because it's a keyword? or is it higlighted because it's a template name?
Will take a look at those tutorials tomorrow, it's late now.
thank you for replying

After returning from learning java at scool, I started to look at Lua again.
Good old lua.
And now I want to get around object-oriented programming in lua
Good old lua.

- but I don't get if there is something like a standard constructor, or if you just have to make one and call it something like new()? [answered]
- how do you define an object? [answered]
- how do you properly use metatables?
- are there any important convensions regarding objects and lua?
- instance variables are stored in an arraylist, passed back by the constructor.
- inheritance uses metatables.
- ":" is used instead of the "." in java.
- "self" is used instead of "this" from java.

when people have loops like
they use the i from info as a variable that is just used for one moment to stop the loops.
everyone coud do also
since the name is not important.
The name i is not important.
It is only important that there is a variable that stops loops like "while do", "for do" and "repeat until" loops.
the name often used for such a variable is i.
local i = 0
while i < 5 do
i = i + 1
print("potatoes")
end

If there's no command to get them all at once, then that means you have to do them one ata time. Loops can be used so that you don't actually have to type one command for each rod, though.
putting that into a function makes it a lot easyer.
something else, you could do is putting it into a table, and then you could read it out

okay, let's go through your problem.
you just stated two errors;
attempted to call nil.
Bios339:[string"mall"] expected
the first one has a number behind it, or before or something.
that number is the number at what line the error happened.
that would help us a lot in helping you.
the second error is an error with openblocks, which I don't know anything usefull about.

Then i'm going to write a few small functions for that. Since I want to have some API's I got to save data constantly.
Some turtle navigation stuff and such which should be crash safe.
Also , i want different computers to save their info also, on every computer, at any possible time

Seems like a neat way. Much cleaner than using any funky API.
Just one question about using
textutils.serialise(data)
Would that give a readable format?
And, do you need to read the whole file, unserialise the wole thing, add something, serialise and overwrite the old one?
Just to add one thing?
Seems to me like a lot of hassle, expecially if you have a large database

Hi,
I just wanted to know if there was any way to save tables, and other variables the proper way in computercraft.
in case the server goes down or something.
I've been looking at JSON API for CC, but still...
Does anyone have a neat way of saving data?
If needed, I'll write my own.
I just want to know I'm doing it the right way.

The peoblem is that cc is sandboxed, but it can use the iternet. If you get a plugin that shows the serverdata on the internet it could get its data from there

what about a file that stores the exact quantity every single letter is used in your code? and compare your current code with it? It would as far as I know a bit faster that hashing. Although the possibility for an equal amounth of all characters is more likely than with a good hashing algorithm.

if yes, then what error?
if no, what exact actions don't work?
until when does your code still work as intended?
we don't know exactly what you want, even if it seems so simple to you.

Thank you, I think that I am starting to understand what I am able to do. The method to tackle this kind of things is in metatables? declaring a metatable redefines an operand of everything in that table? If so, you can let a program write its own metatable and re-use it?

I'm sorry, I think I stated my question wrong.
How do you bind a value to the scope of a program, and after executing be able to get the value back once you execute the program another time.
And how could you make that last impossible for other programs?
or am I asking something impossible?
edit:
I know what the Vector API does and don't want to use it because I don't need to.
It doesn't have anything in common with my problem.
