Welcome to the Turmitor Wiki! Everything that you need to know about Turmitor is here, including the client and server documentation, as well as how to set up your own Turmitor.

What is Turmitor?

Turmitor is a monitor-like structure of turtles that allow you to draw computercraft-like text using colored blocks. It probably isn't feasible to create in a survival world, but if you manage to do it, it'll definitely be something to brag about.

How does it work?

For a short explanation:

Turmitor works by having a controller computer send messages to the turtles through a wired modem network. Each turtle determines its position on its own, and then waits for a message from the controller to tell it what to display. The turtles then use the colored blocks in their inventory to display what they are told to display.

For a more detailed explanation, check out the Server Documentation, Client Documentation, and Shared Documentation pages.

How do I set it up?

Setting up a Turmitor is a bit of a process, but it's not too difficult. Check out the Setting Up Your Turmitor page for a step-by-step guide.

How do I change the font?

The default font is ComputerCraft's own 6x9 font, but you can change it to any font you want (soon). Check out the Changing the Font page for more information.
