• Create some sort of test harness to run *.lua (maybe except for test.lua) in tests/

OpenComputers in minecraft uses Lua code and it exposes a bunch of different APIs and components specific to the game (robots, navigation, etc).

But trying to write code actually in Minecraft, using the half-assed text editor and terminal etc makes me want to kick babies. I want to develop out here IRL.

But the code I'm going to be writing needs to make use of those APIs provided by the in-game version of Lua. So this project is meant to include callable libraries that accept the same args and return values of the same types returned by those APIs, as documented in the OpenComputers docs.

Edit init.sh; make sure its path matches wherever you checked this repo out to. Next:

$ source init.sh
$ lua tests/test.lua
$ ./tests/test.lua

The two invocations of test.lua should work identically. test.lua isn't much more than Hello World. The other test scripts in tests/ are meant to show that the actual libraries work. They're also examples of how those libs should be called.

From here.
This needs to be copied to programs.cfg and edited as needed.

oppm register tmtowtdi/OpenComputers

in ROOT/tests/.

These test scripts are not meant to test every function in a given lib, since the functions are all purposely just stubs.

The main point of these tests is to ensure that the library or component can be required and run. Every script in here (other than test.lua) really should run.

The test.lua test is pretty much for just dicking around, testing whatever you want to test.
