Luau Bindings — videotext
The
require("vt")script API — a personal teletext / videotext station. Serves 40×25 teletext pages (stored in DBFS) to a client over TCP. Every function is[antos]. Design & native core: antos_videotext.
local vt = require("vt")
vt.dbInit(); vt.seed_defaults()
vt.start() -- server up on port 6464
print(vt.status().pages, "pages,", vt.status().client)Server
| Function | Behaviour |
|---|---|
vt.start() · vt.stop() |

Pages & storage
| Function | Behaviour |
|---|---|
vt.dbInit() |
Ensure the vt_pages / vt_config tables exist in DBFS. |
vt.seed_defaults() |
Populate the default starter pages. |
vt.import(...) · vt.export(...) |
Bring pages in / take them out. |
Constants
vt.PORT (6464) · vt.PAGE_BYTES (2000 = 40×25×2) · vt.COLS (40) · vt.ROWS (25).
Pages live in DBFS (so
db/fscan manage them) and are served on the wire; a teletext client connects on 6464 to page through your station.
