Mooch: Responding to "Turtle range."

Is there a way to detect a block's type? Preferably without picking it up; it would be nice to be able to write a function to check the block about to be broken against a list of "Do not break" blocks, such as Industrial craft's MFSU, which loses all held power when picked up.

Also I request a way to set server-wide list of blocks immune to the turtle.dig() functions, such as say personal safes (Industrial Craft again).— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:50.131.199.48|50.131.199.48]] ([[User talk:50.131.199.48|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/50.131.199.48|contribs]]) 
:As far as I know, there's no way to check the block type with the current API. Could be a feature in the future though, never know. {{User:Scarfacial/Signature|22:17 - 8 March 2012}}
::Would be interesting to see if one could write a function for that. {{User:Banane9/Signature|22:43 - 9 March 2012}}
:::i would see it too please. But i dont think that you can make that in a function

== turtle collect ? ==

i understand that the turtle can drop items from its inventory with turtle.drop( [amount] )
but is there a way to make the turtle collect items (like a player would do) around and store it in inventory ?
(from what i understand right now the turtle collects items taken from a digged block ?
thanks

== treefarm ==

i have write a big programm (120 lines) that destory the tree full (with the leaves) when the tree is grown. so the turtle can plant an new tree an beginn at the start. My problem: the programm dont work and i cant find the faults... — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Dude|Dude]] ([[User talk:Dude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dude|contribs]]) 

== Turtle range ==
I've made a simple program that takes the turtle 30 spaces up into the air, and then drives X number of times forward, then X number of times backwards then lands.

It works fine for small values of X (5, 10, 30, 100).. But when I put it to 300, my turtle never returned. I could not find it when walking along it's course either

Is there a way to make minecraft process chunks that has a turtle in it, or is this a limitation to minecraft it's not possible to work around?— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:62.16.170.203|62.16.170.203]] ([[User talk:62.16.170.203|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/62.16.170.203|contribs]]) 

: Minecraft only tracks mobs within so many chunks of the player. To see this in action, play in Creative Mode and fly around very fast -- you'll notice there's no mobs until you stop, at which point you'll usually be able to see them load. What's happening, I believe, is that your turtle is going so far away, it's unloading, which is to say, Minecraft is essentially deleting it. I don't believe there's any ad-hoc workaround -- you'd have to make your own mod or edit the ComputerCraft mod to make Minecraft track turtles persistently.

I don't learn programming well from books. I learn best by doing. For example, I'm learning JavaScript by messing around with [http://spheredev.org/wiki/Main_Page Sphere]. It's going well.

When I first heard of the [[ComputerCraft]] mod, after geeking out, I decided this was a great opportunity to learn Lua, so that's what I'm going to do. I had considered [http://www.fceux.com/web/home.html FCEUX], but it's a bit too intimidating.

My machine is decrepit, so I can't do it if one doesn't already exist, but I'd love to see a Minecraft server dedicated to ComputerCraft. I think it'd be neat to have a virtual space where people are writing and sharing ComputerCraft programs. It'd be a great place to help newbies (just log onto the server, start messing around with the computers and ask for help when needed), to beta test and bugfix, and of course, to share finished programs.

I imagine we'd build a city - steel skyscrapers and all - filled with computer rooms, actual ComputerCraft LANs and WANs and an in-server network with "web"pages, email and all that good stuff. A world and an internet within the server! If such a server already exists, let me know. Add to my [http://computercraft.info/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Mooch Talk page] or feel free to [http://computercraft.info/wiki/index.php?title=User:Mooch&action=edit edit this page].
