Modular Computers

Welcome to the Modular Computers repository. A comprehensive implementation of Computers in Minetest.

Features

• Computer towers with a motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard drive and an optional GPU in three tiers, and a monitor on top. More monitors beside and above it make the screen bigger. A dug tower keeps everything in it.
• A terminal with shell commands, a text editor that works like nano, and Lua programs that run in a sandbox, with an API modelled on OpenComputers: components, signals and events, files, and more. See programming computers.
• Graphical screens for programs, with buttons, inputs, lists and dialogs, shown in the terminal and on the monitors.
• Pixel graphics with a graphics card (GPU); the terminal works without one.
• Redstone input and output on every side of the tower, with mesecons or Mineclonia's redstone, and a redstone API for programs.
• USB cards and USB sticks to carry files between computers; a stick's startup.lua runs when it is plugged in.
• Networks: network cables between towers, switches and routers, wireless cards in three tiers, access points, routers that share an internet card, and ping to find computers by their labels.
• Robots that move, dig with their tools, build, carry items and craft, programmed like ComputerCraft's turtles.
• Cards: wireless, internet, data and USB cards.
• Recipes for Minetest Game, Mineclonia and VoxeLibre.

Server settings

• modular_computers.internet_enabled lets internet cards make HTTP requests. The mod must also be listed in secure.http_mods. Requests to local networks are refused, but the server follows redirects, so set modular_computers.internet_whitelist to the hosts computers may use to be sure.
• modular_computers.memory_limit (MiB, default 1024) stops the computer that allocated the most memory lately when the server's Lua memory grows past it. 0 turns this off.
