I'm not "in-charge". I just created the account and set up the donation process to get things going for a dedicated server. Wamp is the Admin and he will be taking over the master login once he gets back.

My artificial sunlight plan doesn't seem possible with what's in the game so far. I really need trap doors. Even then, since doors don't count as wire connections it would take the most sickeningly complex wire arrangement to work. Still, I have a nice control room in the basemant though, which is basically a few clock generators hissing and flashing, and a two part inverter loop which switches mode when you stand on either of the pressure plates to open the door to the room. Still not entirely got my head around the logic system though, or I'd have built something a bit more useful

Man is building a computer inside Minecraft.

What [censored] the.

Not that I understood anything there.

Its like the guy who built a computer in Dwarf Fortress. I hope this one turns out as awesome.

Well I downloaded Hamachi and joined the network, but Minecraft keeps crashing whenever I try to get into the server, and I'm not sure why...

Undone is not online right now so you can't play.

DUDE! :shocking:

Wait, so is the dedicated server up yet?

That is insane!

But not really as awesome as our old server...

Server wont be online until ~6pm BST. I have a long day ahead of me and can't afford to be leaving my computer on when I'm not in.


Colour me inspired, I'm going to try out different adder configurations tonight.

I am excited, Loved single player so much I forgot about getting F.M evolved yesterday!

I successfully built a 2-bit full adder in the redstone simulator. I can now count to 3 in-game

Now to combine them together into a 3-bit ripple-carry. I wonder if I could make a carry-select adder...

I still don't understand how he could build an in game computer. What's special about redstone which acts like a real circuit? And how does the computer 'turn' into a computer by putting the redstone in a certain formation?

Redstone can be used to create a Logic Circuit, which is all computers really are down to the bare bones. Think of a light switch in your house. When you press the switch up to turn the light on, a device inside connects the "logic circuit" together which allows electricity to flow to the light bulb. When you press the switch down, the device inside breaks the "logic circuit" and stops the flow of electricity to the light bulb.

In binary terms:

Light on = 1
Light off = 0

Using redstone, and a LOT of time, a logic circuit such as this can be created. Creating a computer within a computer game is the same as the light switch anology but on a MASSIVE scale.

For instance in the video the player places redstone torches in the "input" slots to calculate 1+2. Down the line in his computer are lines and breaks which caused the "output" slots to calculate 1+2=3 or as seen in the video 1,1 which is binary for 3.

Since redstone wires are either on or off, they can effectively be used to carry digital signals (which are always either 1 or 0). Further to this, wire and torch arrangements can be used to create logic gates. From what I can remember from the video, he's built a 16-bit ripple-carry adder, which is simply a string of 2-bit full adders, which can be built with just XOR and NAND gates, which in turn http://minecraftwiki.net/images/c/cf/StandardLogicGates.png. I assume the next stage will be to build memory using latches.

Mhm, that image helps too. I think I get the electricity switch anology, we used to draw them in physics. This all looks pretty advanced to me, even though it's a simple repeated pattern.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have a clue as to how to build what he did, I just understand how it could be done.

I have placed a bulletin board inside the Temple of JUSTICE (and Vinegar Ra hate). Please inquire inside.

I moved the binary outputs to be together at a side, but moving the input switches would have been a hassle, so they're just marked with signs. All inputs start in the off position. Inverters are on cobblestone blocks (only serve to extend the wire length for the outputs and give a torch display), XOR gates on cloth and NAND gates on brick. Using the second binary output bit as the 3rd input for another full adder circuit would allow you to build a 3-bit ripple-carry adder, and so on.

I downloaded your save. I'll try it out!


EDIT: OOoo switches!

Lamest tattoo session ever. "Come back next week".


Server up.

I has monies for the server now.

EDIT: I has donated now.

We had our first Spleef game. It was lagging and we were only 4 people. Don't know if Povu filmed it!

I've only got the top sign to fix, and to add some decorations. The arena's basically finished.

Well, we have the $45 we need to buy the server, now all we need is Wamp.

Also... there are 2 unpaid invoices in the inbox -_- marring the once clandestine and clean inbox.

:sigh:

C'mon WAMP!
