Should hopefully have a new file up in a few.

Assuming that I've managed to fix my PC Tonight, I plan to be testing v3 of my room digging program for Turtles.

If successful, I'll post a copy here as well as producing a few floppies.

Chkdisk - killdisk?

As usual.

It corrupted a core file in either .Net Framework or Visual C++ which effectively knocked out every 32-bit program on the computer.

The solution was to uninstall both of those and then reinstall, but the windows installer was also corrupted.

18 hours later I finish an "in-place upgrade" effectively a repair install by upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 7. And I get a BSOD on launch.

Some Googling and one Ultimate Boot CD for Windows session later and I might have rescued it. Just as I was starting to price up new Hard Drives.

Ouch...

Still, doesn't beat the time I mistakenly deleted the windows executable file in DOS...

Don't ask...

It died last night while me, Tanedin and Xavier-er-something were on it.
Back up now though.

Was another CC divide by 0/infinite loop aparently.

My Room digging program Mk3

This doesn't use the Lua interface. Write it by doing edit <programName>

Place the Turtle in the Front Left Bottom Corner of the room you want it to dig

Call the program by <programName> length width height

Known bugs:

It will refuel on first call of the program, it will consume all fuel given and complain it's out of fuel, run it again and it should work.

Returns are potentially blocked by Gravel

Only digs up not down.

local tArgs = {...}
if #tArgs ~= 3 then
    print("Requires length, width, height")
    return
end
 
local x = tonumber(tArgs[1]) - 1
local y = tonumber(tArgs[2])
local z = tonumber(tArgs[3])
 
if x == nil or y == nil or z == nil then
    print("Invalid dimensions")
    return
end
 
if x < 0 or y < 0 or z < 0 then
    print("Invalid (negative) dimensions")
    return
end
 
local fuel = turtle.getFuelLevel()
local roomSize = x * y * z
while fuel < roomSize do
    if not turtle.refuel(1) then
        print("Not enough fuel")
        return
    end
end
 
local direction = true
for i = 1, z do
    for j = 1, y do
    for k = 1, x do
        turtle.dig()
        while not turtle.forward() do
            turtle.dig()
        end
    end
    if y == 1 then
    else
        if j < y then
            if direction then
                turtle.turnRight()
                turtle.dig()
                while not turtle.forward() do
                    turtle.dig()
                end
                turtle.turnRight()
                direction = false
            else
                turtle.turnLeft()
                turtle.dig()
                while not turtle.forward() do
                    turtle.dig()
                end
                turtle.turnLeft()
                direction = true
            end
        end
    end
    end
    if i < z then
    turtle.digUp()
    turtle.up()
    turtle.turnRight()
    turtle.turnRight()
    end
end
 
if y % 2 == 0 then
    turtle.turnRight()
    for i = 1, y do
        turtle.forward()
    end
    turtle.turnRight()
else
    turtle.turnLeft()
    for i = 1, y do
        turtle.forward()
    end
    turtle.turnLeft()
    for i = 1, x do
        turtle.forward()
    end
    turtle.turnRight()
    turtle.turnRight()
end
for i = 1, z do
    turtle.down()
end

I'll follow suit with RC1.1.

Pair of programs, one for a turtle to be controlled remotely, one for the computer controlling it.

1. Plonk the turtle down and run the program for it. Note the ID it gives you.


2. Run the program for the terminal and type in the ID.


I'm still tinkering with it, adding more functionality. For now there's the shown options for direct control and the option to run programs like you would normally, when typing directly on the turtle (like "tunnel 25" of "refuel").

Nuts to your turtles: BEES!!

I made an OpenOffice spreadsheet to keep track of my bees if anyone wants to use it.
It does contain spoilers in that it lists all (maybe) species there are (but not how
to get them).

Preview:

The 'Serum?' tab is basically the "Ok, I got that bee" tab, but I'm using serums
so that's why I put it that way.

The 'Trait Serum' tab is for when you start playing around with isolating
different traits from the bees.

EDIT: It appears to be missing the Marbled bee.

Haha, it is a bit overwhelming at first, but just pick a mod and use it until you know
at least the basics and then move on to the next.

I'd suggest starting out with Thermal Expansion or IndustrialCraft.

Right, here's the automated pure-bred bee system I'm using:


How it works:
1. Queen poops out drones and combs
2. Autarchic gate pulls them out from the apiary, AP sorts them
3. Pure-bred bees will try to go back to the Apiary, which only allows 1 drone and 1 princess. The drones that can't fit in, go to the yellow route.
*Make sure you tell the pure-bred route which species of bee the apiary breeds. This is done in the AP GUI.*

It's a good and compact system for mass producing bees for liquid DNA/combs.
Also, easily expanded:


Why the heck is Photobucket resizing them?
