CC-Tweaked VS DashBot-3.0

My main passion right now is working with the ComputerCraft mod for Minecraft, which adds a flexible Lua-based fantasy terminal to the game. I'm most known for CraftOS-PC, a cross-platform desktop and mobile C++ app which recreates the ComputerCraft environment outside Minecraft. I'm currently working on writing an operating system for it called Phoenix, which aims to implement a full-fledged POSIX/Linux-like environment all in Lua.

For those that don't know, CC:Tweaked is the sucessor of ComputerCraft, a fabulous mod for Java Minecraft that adds computers that runs a Lua VM and are able to run programs, interact with some blocks and do redstone stuff. Also it add "mobile" computers/robots aka Turtles that have everything computers do plus they are mobile and can break and place blocks in the world. For large scale building and intricate redstone projects this is a must have mod.

A better and updated version of the wiki is at https://tweaked.cc

if you want some documentation for all the bits and pieces there is https://tweaked.cc/

LDoc isn't really meant for this, but you can generate on each file individually and then hack in links with some post-processing. Alternatively, if you have the time to dig into an even less documented format, illuaminate natively supports multi-file docs. (See here for an example config file.)

Oh dear, I hadn't quite appreciated how confusing this was. There's an open issue to make the fact that the file is read-only a little more obvious - I will bump that up my priority list.

Known issue that a fair amount of people have been reporting (in discord as well).

For all CC specific things, the CC: Tweaked docs found here are very very useful. You can check out the turtle, redstone, and fs APIs here (listed in the sidebar under "Globals") if you want more precise info than what tutorials are able to give you.

Outside of ComputerCraft coding, I also like to make various little utilities, apps and devices. One of those was DashBot, a genetic machine learning bot that plays Geometry Dash. iRCON, an iOS app for remotely administering Minecraft servers, has been on my mind recently, and I'm contemplating putting it on the App Store. I also gained some notoriety in the game music ripping scene for my UnkrawerterGBA project, as well as my work on ripping music from the Club Penguin DS games. My favorite non-ComputerCraft project recently has been my MIDI synthesizer/sound generator, which taught me a lot about developing for microcontrollers.

I've been working on DashBot a bit recently, and one thing that annoyed me was that my algorithm for detecting portal entry was not very good and required the user to input each portal type. I ended up spending some time looking for values in the memory, and ended up with a whole bunch of useful offsets. Furthermore, the location of these were next to the X and Y coordinates, hinting that a good portion of the game status is located in one central structure.
