Application 1484

Unfortunately, I'm not able to provide many screenshots or videos of my previous redstone creations due to me recently getting a new computer, however I will try my best to describe them in fine detail so that you can understand what I'm talking about. My most recent project was nothing original, but it was something that I found very challenging for myself to do. To describe it in a nutshell, it was a /network/ of messaging units (Keyboards) that were able to send messages to each other by addressing the intended recipient via the keyboard (Typing in a dial-up number, confirming, then sending message). The way each unit operated was, when a letter was selected, it was sent down a line and saved, waiting for more letters to come down the line. Once the message was completed and confirmed, the message would be processed through the decoder, into the responding outputs, and onto the rest of the redstone buses etc. Here are a few pictures of the device in it's earliest stages, I was too ignorant to continue to take screenshots, simply because I didn't think I'd ever need them, but oh well. http://s1102.photobucket.com/albums/g453/xSashahx/?action=view&current=2011-11-10_150343.png http://s1102.photobucket.com/albums/g453/xSashahx/?action=view&current=2011-11-10_150346.png http://s1102.photobucket.com/albums/g453/xSashahx/?action=view&current=2011-11-10_150319.png http://s1102.photobucket.com/albums/g453/xSashahx/?action=view&current=2011-11-10_150325.png Another notable redstone creation of mine would be a very simple game (Which I actually plan on re-building on the server, if I'm accepted; that is.) which I liked to call, frankly, Horizontal Position Changer :D !!!!! In all seriousness, the game consisted of a basic piston-operated screen, in which you had a cursor at the bottom of the screen. The "image" displayed on the screen would shift down one block every frame. The objective of the game was to dodge the obstacles that come down, meaning other blocks that are shifting down toward the cursor. Each level, there would be more blocks to dodge, and the image would shift down a bit quicker. As I said, this was quite a simple, yet large device. The way it operated was through two sets of decoders, the cursor location decoder, and the block location decoder. The block locations were pre-programmed into the wiring, and were fed into the decoder (A memory array chose when to send them). If a signal from both inputs was sent and met eachother (Cursor colliding with block), an integrated AND gate would trigger and restart the current wave (3 live system). I've built so many contraptions, catastrophes, and assorted doo-hickies, I honestly can't name and describe them all for the lack of memory, and to spare your sanity. If needed, I'll try to remember the workings of some other devices I've conjured, but for now, I must save my fingers.
