clearDebris

-- Program:
--   clearDebris
--   to be used on the miner created by DireWolf20 instead of using a force field
-- Created by
--   Liktorn

-- total length of the miner
minerLength = 16
-- position of the turtle (from the left)
turtlePos = 3
-- turtle distance from possible debris
distDebris = 2




-- moves the turtle i steps, destroying blocks on the way
function moveDig(i)
  while i > 0 do
    turtle.dig()
    turtle.forward()
    i = i - 1
  end
end


-- moves the turtle i steps
function move(i)
  while i > 0 do
    turtle.forward()
    i = i - 1
  end
end

-- turn the turtlr around
function turnAround()
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.turnRight()
end

-- move the turtle one block infront of miner and breaking the block in that space
-- and dig and move down
moveDig(distDebris)
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.digDown()
turtle.down()

-- dig all the way to the right
turtle.turnRight()
moveDig(minerLength - turtlePos)

-- dig, move down and turn
turtle.digDown()
turtle.down()
turnAround()

-- dig all the way to the left
moveDig(minerLength - 1)

-- dig, move up and turn
turtle.digUp()
turtle.up()
turnAround()

-- dig and move to turtle to the chest
moveDig(turtlePos - 1)
turtle.up()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.forward()

-- dump collected debris in chest below
for i = 2, 16, 1 do
  turtle.select(i)
  turtle.dropDown()
end

-- move turtle to it's designated place
move(3)
turnAround()

--place the chest in slot 1, then the platform is ready to be moved
turtle.select(1)
turtle.place()
