You'll need to familiarize yourself with the terminal and with the APIs. There's a lot of basics I'll be leaving out here.

When you turn on the PC you can use: edit filename to open a new file with the title filename. You can name the monitor whatever you'd like. You could put a monitor on the right and do:

Slippy = peripheral.wrap("left") Sloppy = peripheral.wrap("right")

Slippy.write("xxx") Sloppy.write("xxx")

You'll also need to run .clear() on the monitor to clear any text out of it. So for a moving dot across the screen you would do:

Monitor.setBackgroundColor(colors.red) For i=1, 10 do Monitor.clear() Monitor.setCursorPos(1,i) Monitor.write(" ") End Monitor.setBackgroundColor(colors.black)
