A journal of a FoldIt player's thoughts while learning to play the game and it's application to improving our lives.
Since this is a journal you may find starting from earlier articles helpful. I have covered a bit about the science, the FoldIT user interface, GUI recipes, and Script recipes. If you give me hints where I could be helpful I will focus in that general direction to my discretion. Currently I am going though the basic concepts of LUA script recipes. Once I get past intoductory LUA scripting I can start exploring the science of folding proteins by using LUA scripts.

Getting started with your own recipes
Recipes are just a way to automate manual steps one uses in the game. The FoldIT programmers have seen to it to add both a GUI (Graphic User Interface) and Script recipe language. The GUI version is more limited but is a good place to start for those who aren't programmers. I've programmed for years so won't go into much details about the GUI recipes. When you insert a step you will be given hints on how to configure it. Once you've created your recipe you will want to add it to your cookbook. Save As lets you name your script and give it a description. Before you can use Save you have to Set Info. If you want to modify your recipe you will need to load it then modify it then set info then save it. It may seem strange but it work. I'll go into script writing this afternoon. Sorry for the delay.
