Programmable computer

[Tyler66]

Something a did in my spare time. Then became to a "project" for some reason.

All of the info is in the video.

I will make a proper layout for this topic later.

Very interesting indeed, the buds (butts?) are intriguing and I'd like to see more about it. I failed in my attempt with a programmable computer, I tried to go with relay packs that are like 1x3 long and have bricks that relay each other on keyboard prompt, but its getting keyboards or controllers to interact with the custom programs that was the issue. I hope you finish this, I'd make a disc for it.

the buds (butts?)

Their "buds".

interesting, how does the screen know what to display? named bricks? for toggles that is

Its named bricks. No toggles.

i thought that there was a brick at the top to fire the relays down, then the relay would update the color, and if that's true, then how does the screen know what to display if there is no toggling of events?

[Tyler66]

The brick at the top fires the "Special effect" with Firerelay events and only Firerelay.
The disk however, itself, sets the pixel color without the firerelay.

The clearscreen uses the "Special Effect" to clear the screen.
1. TopBrick fires a relay down
2. 4 top pixel blocks catch the relay, displaying certain colors though delays from white, to black.
3. The brick fires a relay down to the next set of pixel blocks, and step 2 and 3 are replayed untill their is no bricks to fire relays at.

I will try to expand it by adding new hardware and sound devices and such.

The video sucked, I wish you would've stopped talking and just pressed all the buttons.

Well, um.... the computer is ummm... pretty ummmmm... cool, perhaps... ummm... I say you should... ummmmmmmmm....... keep up the good work so... umm... good bye?

Tyler, this is exactly what you should do.

and maybe have an example program :D

It's basically a tv though.
The discs don't allow for anything interactive.
They just store a picture.

[phflack]

and one picture too, unlike truce's drawboard with memory holding
although aparently you can have a button control set or something
