Best approach for a program to create and destroy items

[awmc000]

How can my program best destroy items given by the player and create items for the player to have? This is so that I can implement a Dopewars clone. Is a command block peripheral the only way? And is that peripheral still supported? I didn't see a toml file in my world folder to turn it on. Thanks in advance friends.

/give @p computercraft:computer_command

You can /give yourself a computer capable of issuing commands like a command block, but without requiring an additional command block. Documentation can be found at https://tweaked.cc/module/commands.html .

commands.give("playername", "minecraft:oak_log", 32)

commands.execAsync("give @p minecraft:diamond 8")
commands.execAsync("kill @e[type='minecraft:item']")

commands.execAsync is a particularly useful one. You can issue multiple commands per tick with it easily, just be wary of overflowing the event queue.
