[CC Lua] Tutorial Part 1

~~~~@ Intro @~~~~

First of all, Im Rickydaan, a Very good CC Lua scripter. Im here to learn you guys the steps about CC Lua, So u guys become the same good as me!

Today we will learn:
"Basic steps"
"Shell and Os functions"
"Variables"
"Using the read() function"
"If / Elseif / Else / End " function

So we know we will be learning "CC Lua" Some things WONT work in real Lua. Each Lua program got unique functions!

~~~~@ Basic Steps @~~~~

First of all Lets make a terminal.
There are some basic intregated programs. We will use: "lua" to toy arround
Type lua
Then lets "print" something on the screen.
Type:
print("Hello World")
once u opened the lua file.
Amazing isnt it?
I will be using words as: "Strings" "Brackets" "Booleans"
Strings = ""
Brackets = {}
Booleans = ()

~~~~@ Shell and Os functions @~~~~

There are different functions:
WARNING: CaseSensitive

shell.run("PROGRAMNAME") -- Runs another program from program running
shell.getRunningProgram() -- Gets the name of the program running
shell.exit() -- Exits the program
shell.programs() -- Lists all programs

-- Find more typing: help shellapi --

OS:

os.shutdown() -- Clears screen and you wont be able to do ANYTHING
os.version() -- Gets the version of CC?
os.reboot() -- Shutdowns and starts PC
os.sleep( TIME !! NO STRINGS !! ) -- Let the PC "Freeze" for xxx seconds
os.setComputerLabel( LABEL ) -- Sets a computer label
os.getComputerLabel() -- Gets the computer label

-- Find more typing help os --

Term:

term.clear() -- Clears the screen
term.setCursorPos(x,y) -- Sets the cursor pos to xxx yyy
term.getCursorPos() -- Gets the cursor pos (2 Variables required)

-- Find more help typing  help term --

~~~~@ Variables @~~~~
A Variable (var) is also used to "Store" a "Strings content" or a "number's content "
Here is a small script using a variable:

@@
a = "Lol"
print(a)
@@

It will print a, A variable is called WITHOUT strings.


~~~~@ Using the Read() function @~~~~

This will be a further explination of the Variables.
A read() function  reads a input -- So it will let you type!

Heres a example of printing a read() value:

@@
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Input something!")
input = read()
print("Lemme think...")
sleep(2)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("You printed " .. input .. "!")
@@

The dots is to say like: Strings .. Variable!!!

Heres a expample of hiding it (the read() becomes read("X")

@@
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Input something!")
input = read("X")
print("Lemme think...")
sleep(2)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("You printed " .. input .. "!")
@@

~~~~@ If, Elseif. Else, End@~~~~
A IF always needs to be CLOSED with a end. Lets do a password!

@@
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("PASSWORD PLEASE")
a = read("X")
if a == "password" then
print("GOOD")
else
print("BAD")
end
@@

See? if a (VARIABLE) == "password" (password is the password) then (Then xxx happens)
The Then needs also to be done at elseif


See y'a next time!
