• arr_controller.py - Automatically Routed Rail prototype control system. It was set up on a test track on SwitchCraft 2 but not deployed more widely due to a lack of real usecases (instantaneous teleportation made it mostly decorative), some minor issues in cart handling, and some less minor issues in routing multiple users at once.
  • arr_station.lua runs on stations and connects to the controller, and arr_switch.lua runs on individual redstone switch units.
  • 
  • 
• chat-ethics-monitor.lua monitored chat and computed message ethicality using our proprietary algorithms, and incorporated laser defenses against highly unethical messages.
  • cem2.lua had a nicer UI but unfortunately no laser defense control authority.
• es_player_scan.lua was a system installed in some facilities to report player counts to central metrics processing.
• ethics-door.lua was installed in the Apiaristics Division and gated access behind sufficiently novel and ethical messages.
• evil-door.lua was also part of the Apiaristics Division access control system.
• flyto_good.lua is an early design for a neural interface fly-to-coordinates program now incorporated into ni-ctl.
• hacker.lua prints randomly generated hacker jargon in ominous green text.
• holo-3dplot.lua renders graphs on OpenComputers hologram projectors.
• holoball.lua is a 3D version of the famous "bouncing ball" screensaver.
• holoclock2.lua is a port of a hologram text demo from somewhere to not cause horrible TPS problems. It displays the time.
• I don't know what holoconstrained.lua did but it doesn't seem to reveal anything proprietary so it's available.
• hologram.lua overlaps several holograms for some kind of rendering thing I forgot. I think in principle you can get many more colours out of this.
• holo-graph.lua is a somewhat boring use of a hologram projector to just display a single line.
• holo-map.lua used several hologram projectors to display a 3D map of SwitchCraft 2. I didn't have depth data so this was essentially a slightly flickery monitor.
  • The map data was constructed using stitch_dynmap.py, tomapdata.py, some reslicing process I forgot, and pngquant.
• itemfilter.lua is a trivial script which just dumps cobblestone from an ender chest and moves other things into a nonender chest.
• kristdump.py dumps Krist transactions to a local database for analysis.
• laser_tbm.lua was a simple and somewhat problematic script for using a small swarm of laser turtles to dig tunnels. While it was slower than a sheet of nonlaser turtles and produced nonuniform roofs, it was significantly cheaper and enabled the rapid excavation of the several-thousand-block Secret Tunnel Network connecting outer Switch City and the Secret Cheese Facility.
• matrixrain.lua - Matrix Rain effect on monitors.
• mekfr.lua ran simple controls for a Mekanism fusion reactor and interfaced it with the metrics system.
  • ncfr.lua did NuclearCraft reactors and not control.
    • ncfroc.lua did control.
• modem2metrics.lua was used with mekfr.lua and some other systems and bridged ingame modems to the metrics system.
• motion_integrator_test.lua was used to test some motion intgeration algorithms to reduce reliance on GPS in ni-ctl. Earlier prototypes did not at all work. The addition of deltaPosX (clientside rather than serverside velocity, essentially) made it work essentially perfectly.
  • ni-position-approximator.lua was an earlier attempt.
• ni-ctl.lua is my very overengineered neural interface flight/autodefense/utility program.
  • Due to module count limitations, it could use remote devices (usually (possibly only) lasers) via ni-ctl_spudnet_interface.lua and pocket-offload.lua.
  • experimental_3d_pointer.lua is probably connected in some way.
  • nilaser.lua is a very early precursor before it was merged into flight control code and some other things.
• nnrelay.lua is used to program OC nanomachines from CC.
• number-display.lua probably prints ominous yet meaningless numbers or something.
• one-way-hallway.lua controlled the Apiaristics Division's famed one-way hallway.
• panel-turtle.lua was used for moderately hidden defensive turtles in Apiaristics Division walls.
• pgps.lua is an implementation of ComputerCraft GPS able to operate passively (without transmitting a GPS ping; unlike real-world GNSS, CC GPS requires broadcasts from receivers) using known computers' broadcasts. It did not actually improve on the position solver significantly, which made real-world use somewhat problematic.
• remote_drone.lua is an in-development-some-time-ago system for securely controlling OC drones. It interacts with remote_drone-cc.lua.
• retina-scan-door.lua was used to control access to the Apiaristics Division's Initiative Sigma conference room, with retina scan effects.
• rimo-door.lua was for the onsite Records and Information Management Office.
• sentry.lua is a laser sentry program which is somewhat safer than standard ones in that it will not fire through protected players to kill mobs.
• draconic_reactor.lua controlled a draconic reactor (in combination with some flux gates and a RFTools screen for some auxiliary functions) with remarkably few catastropic explosions.
• AFLKHASKJFHasuifhasf.lua provided near-omniscient model monitoring including position fixes using a feed from the VLA (Very Large Array) and onsite trilaterator system.
• piston-door.lua was a piston door controller with a nice control panel. For security reasons, the code is entirely ignored and allowances to open handled by another computer nearby with an entity sensor.
• autonomous-bee-processor.lua was used as part of an attempt to selectively breed Forestry bees automatically, although it unfortunately proved impractical because of the large amounts of honey consumed scanning every bee.
• fast-approx-dig.lua dug out rooms inaccurately but very fast using a turtle, because I was once too lazy to dig a room and also to do a lot of work writing down edge cases in the various loops involved in digging.
• furnace_controller.lua is a naive but effective furnace controller program.
• ore-thing.lua managed Actually Additions Lens of the Miner systems.
• spatial_tp.lua (ab)used Applied Energistics Spatial IO systems and ender chests as teleporters.
• geiger.lua was a simple system deployed to monitor NuclearCraft radiation levels using a network of Geiger counters.
• ae2_metric_exporter.lua relayed information from an AE2 system to metrics.
• 3dgraph_slave.lua and 3dgraph_master.lua are a somewhat janky system for displaying arbitrary inequalities using a large field of blocks managed by command cmputers.
• apiobotrobot.lua is a helpful ingame assistant using command computers (for creative servers).
• One of many APIONETs, apionet.lua was a rednet-style OC networking system, in the sense that messages were broadcast literally everywhere when they were sent.
• potatoasm.lua was apparently a register machine VM.
• lua-adt.lua was a project by baidicoot to integrate ADTs into Lua using horrifying regex manipulations for PotatOS Advanced Projects.
• potatos-obfuscation-tool.lua was a dubious-quality obfuscator used at one point to obfuscate something.
• cartdrone.lua used Computer Minecarts as the CC equivalent of OC drones.
• oc-gps.lua was a port of the CC GPS concept to OC.
• oc-drone.lua used OC drones to do something or other (pointlessly follow players)? It seems to incorporate GPS. OC has (had) navigation upgrades, but they have a very short range.
• oc-drone-netboot.lua was a simple bootloader for OC drones which allowed them to boot directly off the internet to work around codesize limits.
• oc-remote-wake.lua was used to get around CC power management issues by using OC computers, which had different power management issues.

• autokit.lua used AE2 to automatically provision strongboxes of kit from a defined kit list.
• basenet.lua was a simple framework for within-base systems coordination.
• energraph.lua monitors RF-holding devices, with no actual graph.
• pxsign.lua is an internal potatOS codesigning tool, as is dcopy.lua.

• thor_laser_unit.lua was part of a laser defense system on TC6.
• potatounplex.lua is a graphics program.
• potatobox.lua used PotatOS sandbox technology (which, yes, has some flaws) to sandbox public CC computers.
• echest.lua provided chat control over enderchests, but was problematic due to accidentally eating items sometimes.
• bundlenet.lua sent messages very slowly over bundled redstone.
• lms.lua (Lightweight Messaging System) is almost the simplest possible CC chat program, for use on LANs.
• autocompactron.lua was used in the automated production of Compact Machines.
• tomatos.lua was a design for a more compact and camouflagued version of PotatOS. Thanks to better antidetection methods, TomatOS is believed to run on ██% of currently operating CC computers.
