Awsum, actually that's incorrect. Since the Y is vertical and X is horizontal it would be as it is.
But whenever you want to use it you have take note that the y axis increases as you go down, meaning 45 degree rotation would actually be -45 degrees.

#203495 API Dump?

I'm wondering if there is an internal function that exists that will generate a list of all the functions available in CC. Not like dumping a function with string.dump or converting back to JSON but like, a way for CC to create a list of all available functions.

Is there a function to dump everything to a file? I don't want to download the website because I don't need all the stuff on it, just a list of all the functions of ComputerCraft. In certain games that allow user-code, they have something like a DumpFuncToXML function that you could call which would write everything to an XML.
I ask this so I can create a parse it into a small and compact couple of HTML files that should work with all versions of CC (assuming a function like this exists and existed). I don't really want to go manually over the wiki since it might change in the future without me knowing.

#203492 Some kind of "sandbox" for your scripts

APIs and Utilities
Well this is cool but it is very easy to bypass.
It's really as simple as: getfenv(2).shell.run("prog");
You should block getfenv and loadstring and other functions people shouldn't need.
But setmetatable and getmetatable should stay enabled since there is no point in disabling it and iTable/getFunc should not be local since the sandboxed code will be able to access them if they are local.

#177608 Printer.write too long for the page!

Since all the characters are the same length with the font CC uses (I believe), you can compare the amount of characters and divide that by the maximum that can fit per line. And you will get how many lines you will need (math.ceil it).
So something like:
Also, you can implement something fairly easy (when lines > paper size Y) to check if it reached the end of the page, then start a new page.
So something like:
local text = "blah"; local sX, sY = printer.getPageSize(); local lines = math.ceil(#text / sX) for y = 1, lines do local start = ((y - 1) * sX) + 1; local finish = y * sX; printer.setCursorPos(1, y) printer.write(text:sub(start, finish)); endThe math seemed to have worked out in my head, though I'm not sure it's entirely correct.

Remove the parenthesis is what he means, so:
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw;
So you set os.pullEvent to the os.pullEventRaw function, since calling it only returns what the function returns which will give you problems and not what you want.
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw;

But with hoppers, you can make sure they don't eject anytime they want. So if the "ticket machine" is accessing the server to see if they can enter, may require some time and if they eject it, you _might_ have problems (depending how you handle everything).

I would hide a computer and make everything run on a monitor they can see. Maybe using buttons to "scan ticket" or "eject ticket" and use hoppers to transfer the ticket into a hidden location and fire a dispenser or something to eject.
And you can do a basic, secure encryption as long as you know no one will access that computer (with the scan and eject) since you are using a monitor.

You may want to change 'return {os.pullEvent("modem_message")}[5]' to ' 'return ({os.pullEvent("modem_message")})[5]' since I always seem to have problems in all versions of Lua doing {...}[x] as opposed to ({...})[x]

Are you sure the redstone is on the left relative to the computer? (not on the bottom or top left, just literally on the block to the left of the computer)?
And if so, are you sure nothing is changing its output other than the computer?

You could use coroutine to run in a "separate" thread.

Couldn't you just do something like this:
local x = fs.open("file1");
local c = x.readAll();
x.close();
x = fs.open("file2");
local c2 = x.readAll();
x.close();
if c == c2 then
end
It would check if the contents are the same
local x = fs.open("file1");
local c = x.readAll();
x.close();
x = fs.open("file2");
local c2 = x.readAll();
x.close();
if c == c2 then

I think you could use wired modems to do this, so printer1 may be perihperal.wrap("printer_0") and your other printer would be printer_1
