[QUOTE=Chris220;31551717]Start very small; devise a 1 bit memory cell. Once you have that down, just keep expanding on your designs and building them up some more until you have awesome impressive stuff :P[/QUOTE]
Okay and how does one make a 1 bit memory cell?
[QUOTE=Brain Tumor;31552291]How exactly are the bits calculated?[/QUOTE]
What do you mean by "calculated"? A bit is simply a binary value; it's either on or off.

[QUOTE=wootmonster;31552498]Okay and how does one make a 1 bit memory cell?[/QUOTE]
There are many, many different ways you can do it, for example you could just create a latch with a set and reset input, and you have a read/write 1 bit memory cell. Of course the magic to it is getting it small enough that you can feasibly build huge memory arrays.

Woa! Is that in the original game? That's cool!

I just meant, how do you know the amount of bits something has?

So basically an RS NOR latch?
Also, how does one expand that?

You can use RS NORs, but in my experience it's better to use a edge triggered latch (send it a value and pulse the edge to get the value to update)
I posted a 1 bit memory cell a few pages ago, but it's read only.

How big would the Ram/rom/whateveryouneed need to be for one to be able to PLAY pong or tetris?

Whats the difference between read-only and read/write?

1 bit memory cell, the torch on the top won't be open unless the switch on the bottom is flicked, useful for animating between frames.

Small databank. Note how the only lanes that are triggered are the ones in the row with the switch on the ground flipped.

What does the switch on top do?

Read only is when you can only get a value from the cell, not set one.
Read write is when you can get values but also set them.
The switch on the top is for deciding the state of the bit, and the switch on the bottom is for deciding which segment to activate.

It has already been done.
A simple piston AND gate.

I did that a while back

Pretty much the same. You could argue mine doesn't make the inputs very easy but its simple to do it with repeaters

What about something like this?
_I
PB
Where -
_ = Empty Space
P = Sticky Piston
B = Block
I = Second input
Smallest AND Gate possible iirc.

thats nice and all but a normal and gate is smaller

However the ones that Jallen and I posted are smaller (I think anyway).

I did it before that, with the door and all, only I didn't know it was an and gate. :v:
I just found a problem with the AND Gate I posted on this page. Depending on which direction you point the piston in, when you try and retract it with the other input on it will either retract then extend and retract really quickly once leaving the block in the "on" position where it would be if the piston was on, or, if it is facing the other way, it just extends and retracts the piston repeatedly until either of the inputs is toggled.
So much wiring, I just spend 6 hours on this one contraption. Its so much I have to do it in multiple screenshots.

How many bytes of RAM is that!? You could practically play minecraft within minecraft with that complexity!
I just made this out of wanting to do something new:

(On the right is my unfinished 7-Segment Display, which only needs the inputs rigging to some switches for the different numbers)
Also if anyone wants I can provide screenshots of the wiring for it.

thank you
This thread should be called piston inventions. Not creations.
does it really matter, who cares?
