mod_program
Circuit components of modular programs are special. They're added to the unremovable components of the shell when the prog is installed and deleted if uninstalled. This means they don't work like normal unremovable comps that live and die along with their shell.
Vars | |
| associated_program | The program that installed us into the shell/usb_port comp. Needed to avoid having too many signals for every program. This is also the program we need to install on the modular computer if the circuit is admin-loaded. Just make sure each of these components is associated to one and only type of program, no subtypes of anything. |
|---|---|
| kill | kills the program. |
| running | binary for whether the program is running or not |
| start | Starts the program if possible, placing it in the background if another's active. |
Procs | |
| should_receive_input | For most programs, triggers only work if they're open (either active or idle). |
| unregister_shell | Find the associated program in the computer's stored_files (install it otherwise) and store a reference to it. The integrated circuit was loaded/duplicated |
