Ahhhhh, so they become like 1 time variables, thank you you helped a lot. +1 for both of you!

Sounds misunderstandable so let me clarify it.
They are only visible to the 'block' and its 'subblocks'. they can be written or read as often as you want. a nested function for example can access upvalues of its parent.

Example:

local function makeHello(who)
    return function()
	    print "Hello "..who
    end
end
-- call it
local h = makeHello("World")
h() -- prints 'Hello World'

as you see, functions can also be declared as local

Hey, 1. Can't really help you on that issue. Did not try any modding with 1.6.x. HOWEVER i really like this idea. Small note: i am german myself and i would kinda like to see your teaching material So, you should maybe sharte it, who knows how useful it will be for others, maybe even other teachers

Posted by Kilobyte on 23 July 2013 - 01:51 PM in Ask a Pro

why even

if x == 0 then do

if needs no do. you basicly made an infinite loop. let me restructure and fix it:

while rs.getInput("left") do -- you can pretty much always leave out == true.
  x = x - 1
  print (x.. " Till countdown")
  sleep(60)
  if x == 0 then -- here was a 'do' too much
	rs.setOutput("right", true)
	sleep(4)
	rs.setOutput("right", false)
  end
end
-- cut off 2 ends whch were too much

EDIT:
Also, i assume you defined x as local (you don't need to, but it makes your code look better and its better coding style.
Also, you should always make sure your code you post it a valid extract or, better, post your entire code. if its a large chunk use Gist or pastebin. Gist has the advantage of allowing you to have multiple files on one URL

Just FYI, calling this Websockets is a bit misleading since there is a socket protocol called WebSockets that's basically just an AJAX replacement for web apps by allowing the browser to connect via a special socket.

I totally agree

Wait, is it really sockets_listen? *checks repo* *swears since he forgot to commit*
meh, if it is really sockets_listen, then thats a bug and will be fixed once i get my computer back. i will prob keep sockets_listen for at least one release though for backwards compatibility

Also, in the PONG line you forgot the newline

Otherwise very good work. +1 Cookie for you :3

Also, you might wonder why there is socket(s)_listen(). basicly i am going to add hooks to read from the stream => you have binary support. it will probably be something like socket_read(handle, amountOfBytes). it won't be a blocking call. so if there is less data received than you want to read it will only return what it already read.
