While true loop instead of functions
We need a new picture tutorial, the current one should be using this code:
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
write("Password: ")
local t = read("*")
if t == "password" then
rs.setOutput("back", true)
sleep(2)
rs.setOutput("back", false)
else
end
end
(a few improvements, plus using a while true loop instead of calling a function over and over again (that crashes the computer after some time)
