gollark: `peripheral.find("modem", rednet.open)` - kind of hacky but works.
gollark: ```luarn = function() sides = {"right","left","top","bottom","front","back"} sides_raw = {"right","left","top","bottom","front","back"} for i=1, #sides do sides[i] = peripheral.getType(sides_raw[i]) if sides[i] == "modem" then rednet.open(sides_raw[i]) print("Rednet Open on "..sides_raw[i].." Side") end endend```WHY
gollark: And then the same thing but with background color...
gollark: ```luac = function(a) if term.isColor() == true then if a == 0 then term.setTextColor(colours.white) elseif a == 1 then term.setTextColor(colours.orange) elseif a == 2 then term.setTextColor(colours.magenta) elseif a == 3 then term.setTextColor(colours.lightBlue) elseif a == 4 then term.setTextColor(colours.yellow) elseif a == 5 then term.setTextColor(colours.lime) elseif a == 6 then term.setTextColor(colours.pink) elseif a == 7 then term.setTextColor(colours.grey) elseif a == 8 then term.setTextColor(colours.lightGrey) elseif a == 9 then term.setTextColor(colours.cyan) elseif a == "a" then term.setTextColor(colours.purple) elseif a == "b" then term.setTextColor(colours.blue) elseif a == "c" then term.setTextColor(colours.brown) elseif a == "d" then term.setTextColor(colours.green) elseif a == "e" then term.setTextColor(colours.red) elseif a == "f" then term.setTextColor(colours.black) elseif a == "red" then c("e") elseif a == "orange" then c(1) elseif a == "yellow" then c(4) elseif a == "green" then c("d") elseif a == "blue" then c("b") elseif a == "purple" then c("a") elseif a == "black" then c("f") elseif a == "white" then c(0) end endend```?!?!?!?
gollark: ```lua-- VERSION 1.0 --using = function(a) shell.run(a)enduse = function(a) shell.run(a)ends = function(a) sleep(a)endcls = function() shell.run("clear")endclr = function() cls()end```????
