## A ComputerCraft program that displays a joke from [JokeAPI](https://github.com/Sv443/JokeAPI) on an in-game monitor on interval




![example image](./example.png)







## Installation:

1. Craft a computer and around 4-12 monitors

2. Place the monitors next to each other and make sure one of them touches the computer

3. Run the following commands in the computer:

```

label set jokeapi

pastebin get 6tnmW93j startup

edit startup.lua

```

4. Change the `MONITOR_SIDE` variable at the top to the side where your computer touches the monitors

    - Valid side values are: `"front"`, `"back"`, `"left"`, `"right"`, `"top"` or `"bottom"`

    - The other variables can of course also be changed, like the interval at which a new joke is fetched or the text size

5. Press `Ctrl`, navigate to `Save` and press `Enter` to save your changes

6. Press `Ctrl`, navigate to `Exit` and press `Enter` to exit the editor

7. Run the command `reboot`

After these steps, the computer will enter an infinite loop. To exit it, hold down `Ctrl` and `T`.  

To edit the program, go to step 4 again.
