Cobalt - ComputerCraft called you back.

Before you dive in, it is very much recommended that you read the documentation. This will give you a lot of help!

Install Cobalt by running pastebin run h5h4fm3t in your computer's shell.

Cobalt is a wrapper for ComputerCraft that allows it to run in a callback fashion, rather than an event-based way. Cobalt aims to make ComputerCraft similar to Love2D programming.

Cobalt also has optional packages, like Cobalt-UI, which adds a full UI library into your projects.

Here you can learn how to use the callback wrapper for ComputerCraft. If you've used Love2D before, you will be familiar with the way Cobalt works.

Getting Started

To get started, you must include the Cobalt wrapper into your file. You can do that by downloading the main cobalt file, and placing it wherever you'd like in your ComputerCraft filesystem (you will need the absolute path of it to use it, however). Then, open your new Cobalt project (an empty file) and place:

local cobalt = dofile( "path/to/cobalt" )

You then need to include all of the callbacks:

function cobalt.update( dt )

end

function cobalt.draw()

end

function cobalt.mousepressed( x, y, button )

end

function cobalt.mousereleased( x, y, button )

end

function cobalt.keypressed( keycode, key )

end

function cobalt.keyreleased( keycode, key )

end

function cobalt.textinput( t )

end

After all your code is ready, you can validate it by trying to run it. If no errors pop up, your code is at least ready to run!

To initialize your program, make sure you include this snippet on the last line of your program:

cobalt.initLoop()

This starts the callback wrapper for Cobalt to work. You can learn how it works here.
