Step 1: Open the ComputerCraft Computer
First, you’ll need to open the CC computer in the game. Right-click on the computer to access its gui.
Step 2: Create a New Program
In the computer’s interface, type edit maze_solver and press Enter. This command will create a new program file called maze_solver.
Step 3: Initialize Variables
Inside the program, start by initializing some variables:
local complete = false
local facing = 0 -- 0: North, 1: East, 2: South, 3: West
Step 4: Define Turn Functions
Define functions to turn the turtle right and left while updating its orientation:
local function turnRight()
turtle.turnRight()
facing = (facing + 1) % 4
end
local function turnLeft()
turtle.turnLeft()
facing = (facing - 1) % 4
end
Step 5: Define Move Function
Create a function to move the turtle forward, handling obstacles and digging through blocks if necessary.
local function moveForward()
while not turtle.forward() do
if turtle.detect() then
turnRight()
else
turtle.dig()
end
end
end
Step 6: Main Maze-Solving Loop
Set up the main maze-solving loop:
while not complete do
moveForward()
turnLeft()
if turtle.detect() then
turnRight()
end
while turtle.detect() do
turnRight()
end
local success, data = turtle.inspectDown()
if success and data.name == "minecraft:lime_concrete" then
complete = true
end
end
This loop will make the turtle navigate through the maze, turning left and right when necessary to explore the paths.
Step 7: Additional Actions
You can add any additional actions or logic you need after the maze is solved. For example, you can return the turtle to the starting point or print a success message.
Step 8: Save and Exit
To save your program, press Ctrl + Enter
Step 9: Run the Program
To run your maze-solving program, type maze_solver and press Enter in the computer’s interface.
That’s it! You’ve created a simple maze-solving program using CC:Tweaked in Minecraft. The turtle will navigate through the maze and stop when it finds a block named “minecraft:lime_concrete.”
