Hi, I'm using OC for the first time (FTB Beyond pack, OC 1.6.2.7). I'm used to ComputerCraft and was wondering if anyone has any general tips to help shift my brain to OC.
More specifically, my goal is to port over as much of my CC content as possible without recreating too many wheels. I've built up a collection of CC lua scripts. I manage and edit them on my webserver and download them in game. They are primarily focused on Turtles and the CC turtle API, so ideally, I'm looking to port those scripts for use with OC Robots.
For reference, I'm not a coding Guru and making a full OS is beyond me. But I'm fine working with documented APIs. Probably the most complicated thing I've done with CC was make a program that leveraged an existing punchable button API as a master control panel for my base functions.
P.S. I'm aware that there are CC wrappers and emulators, but I'm not interested in that. Just looking for some common tips and gotchas for people coming from CC. I do want to learn OC from the ground up.
