Add github and twitter code to pocket computers #188

Closed rnorris7756 closed 9 years ago

rnorris7756 commented 9 years ago

I know a lot of stuff in OpenPeripheral isn't particularly useful on pocket computers, but it would be really nice to be able to use Github to load scripts onto pocket computers. I know that I can copy these programs to the ROM folder or the folder of individual computers that need it, but it would be nice to have this be the default.

The ComputerCraft API does not allow for peripherals, or file System mounting on Pocket Computers.

I'm aware of that. I wasn't suggesting adding all code to pocket computers; I was simply suggesting adding the github/twitter functionality. Looking through the code, I see that the twitter code uses the peripheral API (I had not actually used it before). However, the code for openp/github only relies on the HTTP API, which a pocket computer can handle (and I've tested it by copying the script to a pocket computer and running the code). It would certainly be a useful default for any users who use both pocket computers and prefer github to pastebin.

I don't think you're understanding... There are no ways to mount a file system (a.k.a. GitHub/Twitter programs) onto the pocket computers, this is because ComputerCraft never gives us a reference to the pocket computer. therefore we cannot do it. if you wish to have these programs on all your pocket computers just make a resource pack, placing the programs in rom/programs/pocket and they'll appear on all pocket computers.
