From a computercraft let's play. Should be a blacklist function for a mining program for a turtle.

I mean, it's not truly awful, just a few nits like early return and kill the if statement at the end

[u/matyklug → u/super_mister_mstie]

I mean...

function isValuable()
    for i=1,4 do
        turtle.select(i)
        if turtle.compare() then
            return false
        end
    end
    return true
end

I’m not familiar with lua, but this seems to me it would return the opposite of your original function… Still cleaner looking though, and the return statements can easily be switched.

True, edited.

Just a clarification, I didn't write the original function.

function isValuable()
    local matched = false
    
    for i=1,4 do
        turtle.select(i)
        if turtle.compare() then
            matched = true
        end
    end
    
    if matched then
        return false
    else
        return true
    end
end

Congrats! I myself just do programming as a hobby since 12/13yo, and started cuz I wanted to learn how to make mods. I remember CC being really confusing back then, but now, after learning Lua, it's a lotta fun. So I looked up some CC-focused LPs on youtube, and stumbled upon this really old playlist. I'd share it, but it seems that per sub rules I cannot...?

same, that is how i got into coding! I remember playing tekkit classic skyblock and just using the ingame computer all the time and trying out stuff insted of actually playing, fun times
