termi-lua's Issues

Termi-Lua.Opencalc issues and enhancements

Enhancement: Add separates functions to do their own work, for example Calculator's function when people call the calculator command
Enhancement: Termi-Lua.Opencalc, Termi-Lua.OpenGeocalc: Print when asking about numbers.

Enhancement: Create a command-list variable (array), when user enter a command, just check if the command exist in the command list.
Issue: Termi-Lua.AllCommands: Response if user put in the unexpected value

Hope this can improves the project!

I got hacked

Make it active ;) and fix some issues

I have reviewed the Termi-Lua code and I see some cons of the function.

The way to run commands is passive, means you have registered commands in main.lua file can be run. Why don't check for function/{input}.lua file instead of it?

Also Termi-Lua has some problem with the command line because some code is not properly run. This is the screenshot

I entered invalid commands and it doesn't say anything
