Speakers can now play arbitrary PCM audio, sampled at 48kHz and with a
resolution of 8 bits. Programs can build up buffers of audio locally,
play it using `speaker.playAudio`, where it is encoded to DFPWM, sent
across the network, decoded, and played on the client.
`speaker.playAudio` may return false when a chunk of audio has been
submitted but not yet sent to the client. In this case, the program
should wait for a speaker_audio_empty event and try again, repeating
until it works.
While the API is a little odd, this gives us fantastic flexibility (we
can play arbitrary streams of audio) while still being resilient in the
presence of server lag (either TPS or on the computer thread).
Some other notes:
- There is a significant buffer on both the client and server, which
means that sound take several seconds to finish after playing has
started. One can force it to be stopped playing with the new
`speaker.stop` call.
- This also adds a `cc.audio.dfpwm` module, which allows encoding and
decoding DFPWM1a audio files.
- I spent so long writing the documentation for this. Who knows if it'll
be helpful!
Peripherals can now have multiple types:
- A single primary type. This is the same as the current idea of a
type - some identifier which (mostly) uniquely identifies this kind
of peripheral. For instance, "speaker" or "minecraft:chest".
- 0 or more "additional" types. These are more like traits, and
describe what other behaviour the peripheral has - is it an
inventory? Does it supply additional peripherals (like a wired
modem)?.
This is mostly intended for the generic peripheral system, but it might
prove useful elsewhere too - we'll have to see!
- peripheral.getType (and modem.getTypeRemote) now returns 1 or more
values, rather than exactly one.
- Add a new peripheral.hasType (and modem.hasTypeRemote) function which
determines if a peripheral has the given type (primary or
additional).
- Change peripheral.find and all internal peripheral methods to use
peripheral.hasType instead.
- Update the peripherals program to show all types
This effectively allows you to do things like
`peripheral.find("inventory")` to find all inventories.
This also rewrites the introduction to the peripheral API, hopefully
making it a little more useful.
Let's see how this goes.
- Update references to the new repo
- Use rrsync on the server, meaning make-doc.sh uploads relative to the
website root.
- Bump Gradle wrapper to 7.2. Not related to this change, but possibly
fixes running under Java 16. Possibly.
It's probably the lowest traffic module :p.
Also (somewhat) improve the deprecated messages in os.loadAPI. We really
need a proper article on require and converting from os.loadAPI.
This uses pre-commit [1] to check patches are well formed and run
several linters on them. We currently do some boring things (check files
are syntactically valid) as well as some project-specific ones:
- Run illuaminate on the Lua files
- Run checkstyle on Java
[1]: https://pre-commit.com/
- Add remaining docs for the turtle API
- Add documentation for the fluid storage peripheral.
- Enforce undocumented warning for most modules (only io and window
remaining).
"Finish" in quotes, because these are clearly a long way from perfect.
I'm bad at writing docs, OK!
More importantly, `./gradlew check' actually runs the in-game tests,
which makes the CI steps look a little more sensible again.
Somewhat depressing that one of the longest files (15th) in CC:T is the
build script.
- Generate theme-color. Hopefully this time it works!
- Specify a site url. Technically this is wrong (we should use the
current git branch), but it's good enough for now.
- Move some options into a sub-category.
Provides a basic interface for running examples on tweaked.cc. This is probably
janky as anything, but it works on my machine.
This is the culmination of 18 months of me building far too much infrastructure
(copy-cat, illuaminate), so that's nice I guess.
I should probably get out more.
illuaminate does not handle Java files, for obvious reasons. In order to
get around that, we have a series of stub files within /doc/stub which
mirrored the Java ones. While this works, it has a few problems:
- The link to source code does not work - it just links to the stub
file.
- There's no guarantee that documentation remains consistent with the
Java code. This change found several methods which were incorrectly
documented beforehand.
We now replace this with a custom Java doclet[1], which extracts doc
comments from @LuaFunction annotated methods and generates stub-files
from them. These also contain a @source annotation, which allows us to
correctly link them back to the original Java code.
There's some issues with this which have yet to be fixed. However, I
don't think any of them are major blockers right now:
- The custom doclet relies on Java 9 - I think it's /technically/
possible to do this on Java 8, but the API is significantly uglier.
This means that we need to run javadoc on a separate JVM.
This is possible, and it works locally and on CI, but is definitely
not a nice approach.
- illuaminate now requires the doc stubs to be generated in order for
the linter to pass, which does make running the linter locally much
harder (especially given the above bullet point).
We could notionally include the generated stubs (or at least a cut
down version of them) in the repo, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

- Refer to this as "data" rather than "metadata". I'm still not sure
where the meta came from - blame OpenPeripheral I guess.
- Likewise, use getItemDetail within inventory methods, rather than
getItemMeta.
- Refactor common data-getting code into one class. This means that
turtle.getItemDetail, turtle.inspect and commands.getBlockInfo all
use the same code.
- turtle.getItemDetail now accepts a second "detailed" parameter which
will include the full metadata (#471, #452).
- Tags are now only included in the detailed list. This is a breaking
change, however should only affect one version (1.89.x) and I'm not
convinced that the previous behaviour was safe.
No clue how we're going to do this for the dynamic peripheral system
if/when that ships, but this is a good first stage.
Like the Java APIs, this relies on stub files, so we can't link to the
implementation which is a bit of a shame. However, it's a good first
step.
- Lint references to unknown fields of modules, excluding the keys and
colours modules. This caught several silly errors in our stub files,
but nothing else.
- Lint on using unknown globals. This highlighted a couple of really
silly mistakes. Fixes#427.
- Add documentation for fs.attributes, fs.getCapacity and pocket, as
they were not defined before.

This adds documentation comments to many of CC's Lua APIs, and
a couple of the Java ones, through the use of stubs. We then
export these to HTML using illuaminate [1] and upload them to our
documentation site [2].
Uploads currently occur on pushes to master and any release/tag. The
site is entirely static - there is no way to switch between versions,
etc... but hopefully we can improve this in the future.
