16 | CraftOS-PC emulates the popular Minecraft mod "ComputerCraft", which
17 | adds programmable computers to Minecraft using the Lua programming
18 | language. CraftOS-PC takes this experience outside Minecraft to allow
19 | you to run the same programs anywhere you go.

22 | CraftOS-PC provides a set of functions (called APIs) that make it super
23 | easy to do simple tasks such as write text to the screen, read files,
24 | and more. The simplicity of these functions makes CraftOS-PC great for
25 | new programmers, but their power makes it possible to write all sorts of
26 | complex programs with less code.

29 | If you aren't ready to write programs yet, there's already a large
30 | number of programs for ComputerCraft that will work in CraftOS-PC,
31 | ranging from simple games to whole graphical operating systems. These
32 | can be downloaded through the built-in Pastebin and GitHub Gist clients.
