Why are you interested in joining this server?:
I began building redstone machines 7 years ago. Since then, I've turned that hobby into a bachelor of science degree in computer engineering with an emphasis on embedded systems. I'd like to join this server so I can show off my builds to knowledgable audiences as well as draw inspiration from others' projects. Also, I'd like to think I can serve as a role model for some younger players who might be interested in turning their love of redstone into a lucrative career.
Current Redstone knowledge:
I'm partial to the digital logic side of redstone. Pretty much anything that can be made with MOSFET transistors, I know how to make with redstone. So yeah, I know quite a 'bit'. Not to say I know everything since I'm absolutely lost when it comes to piston creations. Anyone who can make a 3x3 piston door without a tutorial probably is better with pistons than I am!
Past Redstone Experience:
1. 4-bit, 5 function calculator (+-*/%): pretty self-explanatory, it had fancy inputs that lit up
2. analog memory block: stores a 32-bit word as 8 analog signals
3. finite state machine implementation of bresenham's line algorithm: I'm a big fan of FSMs in redstone and I want more people to make them
4. 8-bit, single-cycle processor: this included a register file, ALU, and a custom-designed machine code
About how often do you play Minecraft?:
6-10 hours per week
Application status:
Approved
What kind of creations would you like to build on this server?:
Off the top of my head, here is a list of redstone projects I'd like to do at some point:
1. multi-cycle pipelined processor with hazard detection and forwarding
2. interrupt controller
3. various cache designs (set associative and fully associative)
4. keyboard programmable CPU
5. many more FSMs
