I downloaded both versions of the computer. Plan to use it for {EC} use. Nice computer though! I hope you make a global drive for the industrial use version. That way you can share "files" from one computer to the next.

Think of a global PC ROM shopping center. :o

Bar Graph: "Roleplay"
Text Editor: "Roleplay"

I have no problem with things being created without productivity in mind because frankly it's not possible to create useful devices in Blockland that serve any other purpose but fun. However, I think it would have been more interesting to record the data on the computer screen using variables to store it as memory. Then when you turn on the projector screen, it will read the data and write it on to it. Since from what I see, the projector screen just carries the same colors as the actual computer and all that happens when you turn it on, is a black wall that covers the colored blocks turns invisible. It seems sort of lazy and makes it more bulkier and thick.

I assume this A2 processor thing is a roleplay concept as well, correct?

The projector is just a duplicate of the computer screen in a larger size that only operates when the computer is in. It doesn't process anything. The graph editor does indeed remember the position of the graph via variables. Not sure if its erased when it turns off, I can't remember.

The processor is, in the case of my builds, a brick or multiple bricks that stores and handles variables. The A1 processor is a larger "cpu" that has memory and hold variables in another one of my devices (the LateralWorks 44 key piano). A2 is just an alternative "model" that has less functionality and is smaller, I name them as I may reuse them or change them. Its just a categorical naming system.

That's fine lol, but you could slim it down by a few bricks by using the idea I gave you.

I could remove the back cover but that'd expose the pixels still. The print film in the front is necessary for depth.

I'm referring to the projector, not the computer monitor.

The black film on the projector serves no purpose other then to cover the blocks that are changing color concurrently with the computer until you turn on the projector.

Speaking of the projector, I need to "place an order" for a special projector that is like a table.

I'm making the casing and stuff, I just need the events.

The easiest way to do this would be to replicate the named brick layout of the screen and put it onto the bricks. The layout is described in the developers manual, but essentially its...

mbice_px1     mbice_px2     mbice_px3     mbice_px4
mbice_px5     mbice_px6     mbice_px7     mbice_px8

... and so on. Alternatively you could have a controller brick check the colors on the computer screen over relay using the VCE function and then drawing the colors, but I'm not sure how efficient that would be.

Perhaps I could event it. It would be good practice for my event skills. Sadly Im not on blockland on school days. Only on weekdays so I don't really know when it will be done.

I think I may try making a disc for this.

OMG. Sheath I've built a TV app on your micro block server. IT PLAYED REAL DVDS! Sheath this friday I will make a video ROM program. Whenever I get an idea I will create a video out of a disk and it can play on your video ROM. How about there can be packs of 5 or 10 cd's hmm? Oh the idea gets me so exited!! ^_^

Oh cool, you made a "DVD ROM" hehe. That is wonderful Purple. Yes, uploading a pack of ROMs is a good idea since I doubt people will be too excited about downloading each ROM separately. Just remember the ID compatibility thing, I can happily convert them to all IDs for you if you wish.

Yes that would be nice because I'd hate to be tampering with the id's on your special computer.

+ Some global ROM trading center or shopping center in the micro block server IDK how it will work but its just an idea.

I've also followed your ROM tutorial. I was tinkering with a computer in my friend's server, I've managed to make a music program. Still a prototype like I have to go back in the events and change the music but hey I was just testing.
