Chip documentation

Introductions

The 'chip' API allows you to make some baseline interactions with the machine running code (the minecraft block not your pc), including allowing programs to probe for the current Unix time, fetch the machines make and model, read its uuid, and manipulate the computers state.

The chip api exists in the global space as "chip" or "_G.chip"
