Redstone gets a bit hard to grasp once you get to trying to make sense of simple circuits like thisI learned a lot of computing working with redstone which is a really good "physical" representation of how circuits work.

I've not built an adder before but considering I've built much more complex circuits I could easily build one based on this picture.Redstone gets a bit hard to grasp once you get to trying to make sense of simple circuits like this
redstone is not actually that good at showing you how logic gates work, it is convoluted and buggy. The system that is going to appear in starmade will be much better.I learned a lot of computing working with redstone which is a really good "physical" representation of how circuits work.
Yeah the system had to be implemented in a way that made sense to the game design but because you have to build every single logic gate you can get a firm grasp on the concept over just putting prefab logic gates down. I'm not saying everybody can understand it that way but redstone has taught a lot of people basic circuitry, probably well beyond what Starmade can because it's not an over simplified system. The system being introduced in Starmade makes perfect sense for Starmade and I look forward to it and I've directly opposed the idea of a wire based system being added into Starmade.redstone is not actually that good at showing you how logic gates work, it is convoluted and buggy.

That's what is missing from this forum: making more complex devices from the the ones we were given.In Dwarf Fortress, we invented our own logic gates.
Ahem,That's what is missing from this forum: making more complex devices from the the ones we were given.
That's nothing compared to some of the things that have been done on DF. People have made fully working computers and s**t.Ahem,
Some kind of ALU controlling an LED screen?Seeing that we can control lights with theses there's no doubt in my mind that we'll see some sort of screen sooner or later.
If we can crank up the view distance (The longest we have now MIGHT not be long enough) we'd most likely be able to make a screen with multicoloured pixels, like RGB but possibly even more coloured lights!Some kind of ALU controlling an LED screen?
hmm.....
Not hard at all to make a seven segment display, nor an adder, or a calculator that adds (not sure about multiplication), I've already created a sketch up of what that will look like (presuming we can connect to more than one gate from one input and one gate can accept more than one input per input area)I'm sure it won't take some engineer long to make a calculator with a full 7 segment display and keypad.
Once you get an adder set up, it doesn't seem like that much of a logical leap to multiplication.Not hard at all to make a seven segment display, nor an adder, or a calculator that adds (not sure about multiplication), I've already created a sketch up of what that will look like (presuming we can connect to more than one gate from one input and one gate can accept more than one input per input area)
it probably isn't I just haven't thought about it (I was going to try to make a clock once this stuff gets added)Once you get an adder set up, it doesn't seem like that much of a logical leap to multiplication.
