Is there a "computer" mod?

Hi,

As a fan of ComputerCraft, I was looking to see if there was a similar mod in Minetest. So far, I saw that "computer" was one of the top mods in servers, according to this wiki page: http://wiki.minetest.net/Mods

It ranks 12th out of all mods on servers, and yet I cannot find it!!!

The closest I could find was this: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=10185

Please let me know if there is in fact a "computer" mod, what it is, and where I can download it.

Thanks!


EDIT:
I have been directed to such a mod: viewtopic.php?id=3830


EDIT:
I tried the mod, and it does not work with the current (0.4.14-dev) version of Minetest... Oh well. I guess that's the reason it is archived under "Old mods".

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

mesecons adds programmable microcontrollers that can be programed using lua.

Kaeza's mod is about as good as it gets. The first mod seems to be dead, though I'm going to look into it since I have wanted that type of interaction myself. If nothing becomes of that, I will be starting on my own.

It being in "Old Mods" only means that it is no longer developed. The mod should still run fine (it does on my server). Did you rename the folder for the computers mod to "computers" after placing it in the mods directory? This can cause such a problem. See "Naming Conventions."

If it is still an issue, let me know so that I can do a quick fix for it. (An error like that is about as simple as it gets)

there was Calandria and Terminal
but I guess the Lua-controller is the only mod under active development at the moment that offers ingame programming.
