HyCompute adds programmable computers to Hytale with the help of Cobalt, a Lua interpreter for Java, written by SquidDev.
Early development of the mod focuses on adding a computer, which can persist files and run Lua scripts. Future development will add features such as bugs and drones - programmable entities that can move around and perform actions based on the scripts they are running.
Current Features
- Placeable computer block with terminal UI
- Lua scripting via Cobalt
- Virtual filesystem (
/rom,/home,/tmp)- ROM is read-only
- Home is read-write
- Temporary files can be stored in
/tmp - Currently not persistent
- Basic shell commands (ls, cd, cat, mkdir, rm, cp, mv, etc.)
Planned features
- Tiered computers
- Multiple tiers of computers with different capabilities
- Drone Workbench
- A place to create and upgrade drones and bugs
- Upgradeable drones and bugs
- Upgrades like a Mining Upgrade, which lets drones and bugs mine blocks
- More programming languages
- Possibility of adding more interpreted languages like Python or Haskell via extensions
...and more! Stay tuned for more updates!
