Could you link to the video or screenshot that you saw, please?

I would assume it's a home-made program but I could probably recreate it if I knew what it did/looked like.

I believe they might have it hooked up to computercraft sensors for the weather reading but I haven't read much into how to use that yet.

It looks like they just manually edit the text on screen. Here is an example program to do the same:

--This is a comment, it will not be interpretted as code

--All you need to do to display your own custom text is edit

--this code. Leave the functions startMonitor() and print()

--as well as these local variables below

 

local line_number = 0

local monitor, width, height

 

function startMonitor()

  sides = rs.getSides()

  for k, v in pairs(sides) do

    if peripheral.isPresent(v) and peripheral.getType(v) == "monitor" then

      monitor = peripheral.wrap(v)

      monitor.clear()

      monitor.setTextScale(1)

      width, height = monitor.getSize()

    end

  end

end

 

function print(text)

  if line_number < height then

    line_number = line_number + 1

  else

    monitor.scroll(1)

  end

  monitor.setCursorPos(1, line_number)

  monitor.write(text)

end

 

startMonitor() --Use this to find a monitor to connect to

print("Good Morning and WELCOME to") --to print a line of text

print("Ballistics")

print("Assimilation")

print("Research")

print("Recon")

print("and Yoga")

print("- The B.A.R.R.Y. Initiative -")

print("")

print("You are here of your own free will.")

print("The weather outside is: ERROR - Weather not")

print("found.")

print("You are here of your own free will.")

print("")

print("Today's Hot Research: Portable Cars")

print("")

print("Powered by Mushnet 2012")
