Step 1: Initialize the enemy count variable.

lua

local enemyCount = 0  -- Track the number of enemies defeated

Step 2: Define the scanArea function.

lua

function scanArea()
    -- Scan the area for enemies and attack
    local enemyDetected = false
    
    for i = 1, 4 do
        if turtle.detect() then
            turtle.attack()
            enemyDetected = true
            enemyCount = enemyCount + 1
        end
        turtle.turnRight()
    end
    
    return enemyDetected
end

The scanArea function scans the area around the turtle in a 360-degree rotation, checking for enemies using turtle.detect(). If an enemy is detected, it attacks the enemy with turtle.attack() and increments the enemyCount variable. The function returns true if an enemy is detected, false otherwise.

Step 3: Define the recharge function.

lua

function recharge()
    -- Recharge the turtle's energy
    -- Implement your own logic here based on the available energy sources
    
    -- Example: Assume turtle is connected to a charger
    while turtle.getFuelLevel() < turtle.getFuelLimit() do
        turtle.refuel()
    end
end

The recharge function is responsible for recharging the turtle’s energy. The example implementation assumes that the turtle is connected to a charger. It continuously calls turtle.refuel() until the turtle’s fuel level reaches its maximum limit.

Step 4: Define the displayStats function.

lua

function displayStats()
    -- Display current statistics
    print("Enemies defeated: " .. enemyCount)
    print("Fuel Level: " .. turtle.getFuelLevel() .. "/" .. turtle.getFuelLimit())
end

The displayStats function simply prints out the current statistics, including the number of enemies defeated (enemyCount) and the turtle’s fuel level (turtle.getFuelLevel() and turtle.getFuelLimit()).

Step 5: Enter the main loop.

lua

while true do
    local enemyDetected = scanArea()
    
    if not enemyDetected then
        recharge()
    end
    
    displayStats()
    
    sleep(0.25)
end

The program enters an infinite loop using while true do. In each iteration of the loop, it calls the scanArea function to check for enemies. If no enemy is detected (enemyDetected is false), it calls the recharge function to recharge the turtle’s energy. After that, it displays the current statistics using displayStats and pauses execution for 0.25 seconds using sleep(0.25).

This loop will continue indefinitely until the program is manually stopped.
