Printing onto a monitor

[Pechu317]

So i'm making a lottery, and I want a large monitor that says "You could win:" in the top left corner, and a number in the middle that can be changed easily. How would I program this?

So i'm making a lottery, and I want a large monitor that says "You could win:" in the top left corner, and a number in the middle that can be changed easily. How would I program this?

Here's some code you could use, first you would need to wrap the peripheral:

Code Select Expand

local mon = peripheral.wrap(<side>)Then you can use the monitor like you would on a program using the normal apis installed to the computer built in like:

Code Select Expand

mon.print("You could win:") -- Use any function, but starting with the variable you used to wrap the monitor to work it out on the monitor to display.After that, printing on a monitor should be easy as a snap!

Code Select Expand

mon.print("You could win:")

If I remember correctly, monitors don't have a print function as a peripheral, you would have to either write your own function for that or redirect the terminal to the monitor and use its print.

Or you could move the cursor on the monitor so that the next write looks like it printed.
