 * 1) Check the error message... 99.999% of the time it will tell one exactly where the mistake was made (improper syntax, missing end statement, etc).
 * 2) Check the use of case (upper and lower case letters). Remember, functions are usually start with a lower case letter but additional 'words' will have upper case in them (for example - redstone.setOutput).
 * 3) Check control statements (while, for, if, etc). Make sure they're declared right and terminated correctly (sometimes a missing end statement won't register for quite a few lines).
 * 4) When in doubt, write it out. One can sometimes be surprised how glaring an error is when rewriting something... despite missing it the first time.
 * 5) Ask the Community. Sometimes things are trickier than they appear to be but chances are someone has made the same mistake and figured it out, however, there's also a good chance that with another pair of eyes on the problem everyone can learn how to do it... maybe even find a better way!
