Pistons Creations Megathread - Games

Someone should just make a one block "chip", and when you right click the chip you teleport "inside" it. Then you proceed to place redstone, pistons, etc

Making a music sequencer, it's almost done, it's completely built I just need to wire it up correctly.

That final room alone, with the trees and whatnot, was 4608 blocks (24x24x8 including having to dig out and replace the floor). But I thought it was pretty damn nice. Oh, and does anyone know how to make the video brighter on YouTube? As with the first video, it's incredibly darker on YouTube than on my computer.

Instead of digging you could've done it on air which mean you didn't have to dig or you could've used ssp commands. All the things like levers should be replaced with buttons and each buttons are toggle able. Your creation isn't much anything but just hallway of simple stuff.

Look, I don't know if you honestly thought it was a big enough of a deal to knock my creation because I said it was more impressive than most of the other creations in the thread, but if you're going to knock it I'd at least like you not to lie about how I described it.

In all honesty, your stuff is really quite simple. You have a bunch of stuff that has pretty much already been done, it's just that you added it all together, but not in any ingenious or useful way. You have only got a bunch of alright stuff, and added it all together to make one big thing. Sure your thing is better than others, but only because you added a bunch of it all together, though it has already all been done, so it's not as impressive as the first time those things were made. The stuff is simple, nothing complicated requiring many sequencers, or anything mind-blowing.

is there a way with buttons that you can only press it once,but after the button is pressed the output gets reset? (I have no idea how to put this into words)

[QUOTE=zzlawlzz;30929009]is there a way with buttons that you can only press it once,but after the button is pressed the output gets reset? (I have no idea how to put this into words)[/QUOTE] Like a toggle?

[QUOTE=zzlawlzz;30929009]is there a way with buttons that you can only press it once,but after the button is pressed the output gets reset? (I have no idea how to put this into words)[/QUOTE] You mean a toggle? I managed to make a 2x7x2 one. A toggle is where when you press it, it stays on, and when you press it again, it goes off. Unless you mean you press a button, and the output stays on until you press another button. You can do that with a RS NOR latch.

[IMG]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q19/vertex_photos/2011-07-05_233609.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Planning on making a video of that mob trap sometime soon?

I really hope they fix the pistons soon. The most annoying bug for me is that if a piston is extended vertically, and another one is pushing on the extended arm of it horizontally, it obviously doesn't extend (I mean the horizontal one). Now if the vertical piston is retracted, the way for the horizontal one would be free, but it only pushes after a block near it got refreshed....

I think I'm starting to get the hang of redstone. I just need to think what my goals are for what the input and output need to be for whatever device I'm working on and then apply various gates to it.

This was the first redstone thing I've ever made. I tought myself how to use it while making this unbelievably easy and crappy "test". [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm90zF-N69Q[/media]

I'm sorry if I offended anyone but Jesus calm down. And what do you mean how much space, that was for the effect of scale.
