IO (API)

2012-03-20T18:28:55Z

SgtBurned:

IO is a reimplementation of the default Lua input / output API defined [http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.7 here], with some features trimmed. Most features should work. If you find a non-working feature, please list it here.

List of non-working features from IO:

* file:seek(...) - Doesn't exist.

I hope this is the right place to add this.
io.write using "wb"
Line 97 it expects a number and gets a string
For reference I am using this http://lua-users.org/wiki/SaveTableToFile with only modifications to make it run as an api.
It is the very first file:write in the save function
* file:write("return {"..charE)

Rednet (API)

2012-03-15T21:21:12Z

SgtBurned: Added Links to empty pages for future "Wikias" ?

The rednet API provides a simple computer networking model over RedPower bundled cables or the Wireless Modems of Computercraft 1.3.
With the table below, 'side' refers to a string that represents a side of the computer ("front", "back", "left", "right", "bottom", "top"). All message sent with rednet are and must be strings.
{| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"
!style="background:#EEE" width="200px"|Method name
!style="background:#EEE" width="*"|Description
|-
|[[rednet.open( side )]]
|Tells the computer that the side can be used for networking.
|-
|[[rednet.close( side )]]
|Tells the computer that the side can no longer be used for networking.
|-
|[[rednet.announce()]]
|Broadcasts an empty rednet message.
|-
|[[rednet.send( receiverID, message )]]
|Sends a message to the computer using the opened sides. The receiver ID is the ID (number, not string) of the computer you're sending the message to.
|-
|[[rednet.broadcast( message )]]
|Sends the message to ALL connected and open computers.
|-
|[[rednet.receive( timeout )]]
|Sets an amount of time to wait for a rednet message input. If you wanted to have the computer wait for an input for 5 seconds, then the code would be: rednet.receive( 5 ) If you wanted it to continuously receive then don't put anything between the ().
|}
You can also handle the "rednet_message" event to receive messages without calling receive(), the arguments are the same as the receive() return values.
