ok, so internet is possible, screens are possible, keyboard is possible.
is it seriously going to be possible to play games like snake in the future with only redstone? only veeery slowly?!
edit: and maybe co-op games too. as long as the games isn't bigger than 128 pixels high.
OT:
This is awesome. Would it be possible to make a 32-bit connection in the router? Maybe add support for letter writing, and we have screens! Yay.
Up sizing the router connection would not have an benefit as the computer itself is only 4-bit. As for a keyboard and a screen, I am looking into more outputs than my hexadecimal displays, but I suspect that I will need to upgrade to an 8-bit computer to support it with any significant size.
Get someone to write a bukkit plugin thus that it could actually access the Internet.
To do this I think I would need the plugin to interact with another program on my real computer which would interpret the signals from the plugin and use them to call on the internet very slowly and letter by letter. It would take minutes if not hours just to load google. Just calling up the Ip would be 8 signals, as an Ip is made of 4 8-bit numbers.

Yeah I've made a pong game and its slow enough with purpose built circuits. To run it through code on a 4-bit computer that runs at 0.2Hz would be slow enough you can go get some McDonalds between updates.
I'm just getting into the whole "build a computer" business, so don't feel offended by the following question: Why is it so big? It's only a 4-bit computer, right? What makes it so sprawling and massive? When you were building it, what part did you find took up the most space?

Look here to find links to my inventions, creations, and my Youtube channel featuring Amazing Creations of Mine (Redstone engineering FTW!!!) and charming Music-Videos about clones. I also made "Minecraft in Minecraft" (2D platformer/building game). I'm currently trying to make a computer.

It is not actually that big, it may look bigger than it is because the view distance on the server is set to 6 chunks not 10. Also I choose to prioritise neatness over compactness. As for what takes the most space, the ROM and branching is a large part, as well as the command decoder. The most space in the actually computation parts is the multiplexors. There are a total of 28 2x4 multiplexors, stacked in groups of 4.
...once that technology is actually ADDED into minecraft, that is. Sound boards, maybe. But graphics is pretty much impossible with current tools.
It may be impossible to make an actual 64 bit picture. But it is possible to use pistons to translate text to a screen. I've seen somebody make that. Once Pistons are implemented, its possible for text messaging.
Let's make a giant project where we make a computer with:
2TB HDD space
16GB RAM
3.5 GHz Octo-Core processor ( 8 cores )
MC200-FX 2GB RAM - Gfx Card

Black and red?
Btw i am amazed but I don't quite understand what its point is
I played that briefly in a Blockbuster so many years ago... *shudder* So glad that didn't take off.

Thanks :smile.gif:
The update speed, for sure.
Thanks.

Lol? there are pics retard...
Sorry for the image down time.
