This video was... something.. I'm 4th year in university computer science because of you and this video, Seth. Thanks for helping me discover my passion.
Yeah, this was my first experience with programming. Seth, amongst some other RUclips creators, actually helped me choose my career. Now I’m in third year of my statistics college degree, which combines my two passions: programming and maths
@saucegod9000 wow! what a throwback. I love CS, after those classes in HS I finished a combined maths CS major in college. then I realized that as much as I love CS, it was a little too lonely for me. so now I found a happy medium in data analytics!
Thank you for this video. These videos you've uploaded have been infinitely helpful to my understanding of how LUA functions. I recommend this series to everyone who would look to expand their use of Computer Craft turtles.
I've gotta give you props man, I would have absolutely NO patience to look at computer mush all day and try to figure it out. Five stars, hands down. :)
Oliver Griffiths Griffiths Computers don't understand how to move forward with out commands. Commands are what computers understand. Try telling a computer 1 and 0s, harder then commands, right?
Great tutorial! I could be fun to see you make turtles who go out and hunt for resources and multiply every time it has enough materials to build one, and see how long it will take for the turtles to take over and destroy the world. :-)
dude you have no idea how much i apreciate this, i mean you explained it so nicely and i know so much more and understand, the other videos iv watched havent helped shit, dude keep posting more its so helpfull :)
This is especially useful again now that alot of people updated minecraft and moved on to stuff like 1.12, which computer craft just randomly did a cool surprise update to
This is a fantastic video, thank you very much, I'm into C++ so lua is similar, but this helped give me the leg-up I needed on basic turtle control. You da man.
You are very welcome! and may I suggest, Gedit for windows. if you are on windows that is. you can select Lua as the language and it will color your code. also, make sure to always use indentation, since Lua has no curly brackets on the code blocks, it's easy to forget which end belongs to which statement.
The back is actually a representation of an old (and I do mean old) school floppy disk drive from the old apple II's. The Graphics Turtle was a program that used LOGO to draw simple shapes by giving it commands to move around the screen. We did this back in 1st Grade, I actually remember it as my first introduction to computers.
I just started learning programing, and already know some basic stuff like if, while, else and something about recursion, but holy crap, I thought it will never help me in my life!
you have to have it selected in the turtle's inventory. in nother words, you need to do: turtle.select(1) and make sure to have the fuel in the first slot. hope i helped :)
Hey Seth did u know that if u make a "laser" pointing in a direction, u can put a command block to summon PrimedTnt at a area to destroy some far away structure without the risk of killing yourself but be careful as another player can set it to self-destruct with the coordinate of the room the laser is in. Command: /summon PrimedTnt Command after first command: /summon PrimedTnt {Fuse:
idk about in lua, but in most programming languages, it's common to have that on the first line. It's cuz in most languages, then and end are represented by { and }. So you'd do: if (bool) { -code- } It looks much nicer when the structure is surrounded by curly brackets rather than 'then' and 'end'. But he probably does it this way cuz it's what's natural to him at this point.
To be more correct the command prompt is MS-Dos thing, witch came before windows. And when referred to command prompt people often mean the MS-Dos one and not the left over that is still within windows. Same goes for dir, although ls is now more logical and used, back in the day dir was the bomb :P Anyways when i first saw the turtle interface, first thing i though about typing was dir not ls, so id say he is spot on with his Command prompt and dirs
First off, functions have to be capitalized every word after the first one. For example: turtle.placeDown(), turtle.detectUp(), term.setCursorPos(). Next up, turtle.getFuel() isn't an existing function. turtle.refuel(), with a number in the parentheses, refuels using that many items from the currently selected slot. If slot 2 is selected, it refuels using the number in () from slot 2. Same for placing blocks, it can only do it with the selected slot. (continued)
It depends on what version of Tekkit you have or how you have computercraft installed. It will either be in your mods folder or it will be in the computercraft mod zip file. If it's in the zip file, you will have to restart the server or game in order for your script to show up in game.
Parentheses are not necessary when only passing one argument to the print command. You are able to pass multiple arguments and it will print them all out like this: print("Hi there, number ", 2, " how are you?")
First sethbling video I've watched ... Is that Nilsey's Outro music w/o his beautiful singing? Or did he just mimic you when he created his? Sp0oky ...
You can power them with energy as well, and automated the refuel process true recharge stations, witch is way cooler then turning of the refuel function.

That's kinda cute! Glad you have found something that you like!
@@miristallesregal Thanks bud! Yeah I'm almost done with my junior year. As happy as ever with my major. Kinda crazy how it happens sometimes.
Yeah, this was my first experience with programming. Seth, amongst some other RUclips creators, actually helped me choose my career. Now I’m in third year of my statistics college degree, which combines my two passions: programming and maths
that's pretty neat!
Wow, this is really cool seeing people’s success off of Minecraft.
(I know that this video is from about 8 years ago) Thank you, you helped me to like Computer Craft, now I understand a good deal of CC.
Same
same!
I have a bachelor's degree in computer science, and I worked as a software engineer at Microsoft for three years.
The God has Spoken
weird flex
Finally someone who explains this mod intelligently and to the point. Thank you sir.
Had learnt a little lua for turtles a while back, needed a refresher and this was absolutely perfect. Great video and series, thank you!
After watching this:
I think I'mma go program some Turtles, this is an awesome video!
Did you end up programming some turtles?
@@null3081 me yes
Having taken a computer science course this semester, I actually knew what Seth was talking about most of this episode. I feel brilliant.
@saucegod9000 wow! what a throwback. I love CS, after those classes in HS I finished a combined maths CS major in college. then I realized that as much as I love CS, it was a little too lonely for me. so now I found a happy medium in data analytics!
@saucegod9000 but lol. what brings you back here 10 years later? whats your background?
Congrats I’m just starting turtle gramming I’m thinking it’ll help me learn Lua
Hello, mine turtle!
LMAO!!!!
niiiiiiice
+GalaxyHero XDDDDDDDDDDD
I like turtles🐢
+GalaxyHero i like trains
I'm so glad i learned some programming back in the day. I'd have never thought this would help me in gaming some day xD
Thank you for this video. These videos you've uploaded have been infinitely helpful to my understanding of how LUA functions. I recommend this series to everyone who would look to expand their use of Computer Craft turtles.
Yeah, I'll probably get to it eventually, but I'm guessing it'll be a while. There's a lot to teach!
ok
15:39 "The gravel will throw?"
lmao
**Watches The Whole complicated tutorial**
"Ok Turtles Off The bucket list!"
I think you ignited something in me, I learned more from this video than I have ever learned before in a video
Wow!!!This a great way for kids who are addicted to MC to learn basic programming.
MOre power to you!
That "port" is actually supposed to be a 5-1/4" floppy drive. ;)
wow seth i never got lua scripting untill i watched this vid THX!
***** Probly Roblox
can you make a new tutorial for TurtleOS 1.5
I've gotta give you props man, I would have absolutely NO patience to look at computer mush all day and try to figure it out. Five stars, hands down. :)
i looked around all of the internet for literally hours trying to figure this out, i finally found good ol seth!
NOTE: You can also use "ls" instead of "dir" :)
did anyone else notice the sad face @ 3:40
You Can Say That Again!
"Hello Mine Turtle!"
"Hello!:D"
*Click!*
"Oh."
*KABOOM!*
just finished my computers exam today feeling like chilling out with some minecraft programming :D
Thanks so much for uploading this series, looking forward to learn more about turtles!
"The gravel will thro..."
Only me who heard that at the end?
i like turtles
Jeez calm the fuck down ten year old
I get it.
@@artemkiselev1354 what the fuck he just said "i like turtles"
Lol at the very end you can hear "the gravel thr"
I can tell im gunna be up all night watching these...
Great video, I can't wait to see more. I like that you are going slowly through and explaining the concepts.
Cheers
Wow i know lua This is SO EASY
#MineTurtle
They couldn't just let you type "dig straight ahead", could they? Noooooo, that would be far too easy
Oliver Griffiths Griffiths Computers don't understand how to move forward with out commands. Commands are what computers understand. Try telling a computer 1 and 0s, harder then commands, right?
leftymu just want everything spoonfed to you on a silver platter now dont you...
Oskar Dahlberg Scripting languages and programming languages are almost the same. They both let you make programs. But one is more high level.
Meme Master 400 Faster Blaster I have created scripting languages, so yes i know what the difference is.
I was just simply correcting it :)
Tbh this video just hit 1 million views, good job.
Great tutorial! I could be fun to see you make turtles who go out and hunt for resources and multiply every time it has enough materials to build one, and see how long it will take for the turtles to take over and destroy the world. :-)
FUUU i was so far when i suddenly broke the computer!!!! ARGHH
grab a sword in your hand, you won't accidentally smash the computer in creative (it prevents you from destroying blocks)
you people think LUA is hard? lol, try c++ or assembly...
subpixel try Progess Open Edge ABL 4GL
***** nobody makes real games in those language(s)
omegapixel are there games in assembly?
Hououin Kyouma maybe one or two text games but surely nothing with graphics
+Hououin Kyouma Rollercoaster Tycoon was first coded in assembler... It looks like a nightmare lmao
best command: dance
dude you have no idea how much i apreciate this, i mean you explained it so nicely and i know so much more and understand, the other videos iv watched havent helped shit, dude keep posting more its so helpfull :)
best tutorial 7 years and 7 days later
Really good! Thanks for the help. Don't know anything about programming and this really helps me to understand! Nice done.
This is much more easy than I thought it would be
This is especially useful again now that alot of people updated minecraft and moved on to stuff like 1.12, which computer craft just randomly did a cool surprise update to
You know that you're old when programming tutorials start with explaining how to use a command prompt :)
Dude! I watched this tutorial a few months ago before I loved sethbling, and I just found it again!!! :D
Finally! A joke that is not a "virus color" kind! Another like for you buddy.
ijust gotta say i love you man, because i was looking for just a god damn tutorial and here it is :D thanx
Best tutorial on turtles, and computercraft lua in general. Thanks a lot! :)
i learn more from this video. then i have in school in 6 years
this felt like the first time in my informatic-lesson
java i love it ^^
This is a fantastic video, thank you very much, I'm into C++ so lua is similar, but this helped give me the leg-up I needed on basic turtle control. You da man.
This help me alot with my mining in minecraft. i am close to make a own homesite becuse of you now. thanks so much Sethbling!
Thanks for sharing. It was very well taught and now I am excited to play some turtle craft. :)

Wow I learned more from this video than the class I took for computers
Thank you, you made me realize I hate coding. So I became a Mechanical engineer.
Loved your video; subscribed. Keep the tutorials coming!
OMFG I FOUND IT I remember playing a version of minecraft labled "TurtleCraft" at a minecraft code club and I FINALLY FOUND WHAT IT IS YESSSSSSSSSSS
That made you 20 percent cooler, which means that you are related to Rainbow Dash. HAMISH BEALS, YOU ARE NOW AN EVEN BETTER PERSON.
I am searching up "how to code in LUA".
then showed the most viewed...
Apparently this video is the most viewed video on how to code in LUA... neat

pretty sweet. I wasn't understanding programmimg very well. ComputerCraft is a nice mod to do so.
haha thanks seth I'm taking a look at some intro programming and this makes a lot more sence than the whole online course thing I was checking out xD
I already know this stuff, I'm just watching cuz I like the sound of your voice
That's kinda gae
I came back to this video because I remembered I have been introduced to programming before! xD (back then I was 11 yrs old)
Make this:
When you say to the Turtle: Hello Mineturtle
He said: Hello! and than it explode!
Thumbs up!
So helpful Seth, now I'll be able to use turtles properly :D
I liked before I looked for you are the best!
GOOD FOR YOU! WE ARE SO GLAD THAT YOU SAID THAT!
I LOVE THIS WAS LOOKING FOR AGES
Hey Seth did u know that if u make a "laser" pointing in a direction, u can put a command block to summon PrimedTnt at a area to destroy some far away structure without the risk of killing yourself but be careful as another player can set it to self-destruct with the coordinate of the room the laser is in.
Command: /summon PrimedTnt
Command after first command: /summon PrimedTnt {Fuse:
Very good LUA teacher. Subscribed!
"programming ranguage" good job seth
i understand some things and know what it does but the code looks like gibberish and this is really helping me so thanks for that
idk about in lua, but in most programming languages, it's common to have that on the first line. It's cuz in most languages, then and end are represented by { and }. So you'd do:

SethBling you're so awesome. This ot only helped me in Minecraft but in other things to!
FINALLY, something to teach me Lua, I know C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, and a bunch of others like VBasic, but NOT LUA!
I love programming and minecraft and now i can get them in one!
I never realized how funny the word "Fuel" was when repeated until now
O-O I understood everything you said. Amazing! Maybe that "Pascal" is not that bad ( learning it at school )
thanks so much this is exactly what i needed also i love how you explain things.
Man I miss these days

So is the English language, but you've mastered that. Just takes a bit of time.
Wow after one semester in computer science I’m almost understand
Erik, it's from asdf, a popular series of shorts that started many memes. Such as "I like trains..."
This is how teachers will teach programming in the future....
Hehe i'm studying to be a programmer but i still enjoyed watching this
First sethbling video I've watched ...
Is that Nilsey's Outro music w/o his beautiful singing? Or did he just mimic you when he created his? Sp0oky ...
Nice tutorial, you explain it well!
That profile picture...It just fits perfectly
You can power them with energy as well, and automated the refuel process true recharge stations, witch is way cooler then turning of the refuel function.
Holy crap.
I learned something.
