Why are you interested in joining this server?:
I love redstone,the first time i discovered the incredible things you could do with that magic red dust a entire new world was revealed in this blocky game. I was amazed watching tutorials wondering why i never took the time to discover what this unknown item was for,even with chests full of them in my dirt house in 1.8.1. After learning a lot more i started to explore the redstone world on my own, creating my own machines and contraptions. I created machines ranging from simple piston doors to minigames, but then i discovered there was something i had no idea to make or how they worked. I was amazed by how someone could create computers and calculators in minecraft the same way they work in real life. Even after searching for tutorials i couldn't grasp some of the ideas,and after searching more i found that server and now i'm applying to learn more and more about redstone and also about how computer work in the logical hardware scale.
Current Redstone knowledge:
I know a lot about practical redstone and i love creating contraptions and machines but i i'm going to be honest, i know almost nothing about computer hardware and how to apply these ideas to redstone,that's what i want to learn in this server.
Past Redstone Experience:
One of my best creations was my connect 4 game. It worked by pistons pushing gravel and sand from a "storage" of lines stacked alternatively(that's refilled by command blocks every time you reset the game) in a 6x7 glass space in the column where the button is pressed(the same buttons were used by the both players,that's why the storage had gravel and sand stacked alternatively),pushing the gravel or sand that is not used in the other columns in torches to break them and fix the "storage",then logging the movements with hoppers and comparators(because it is compacter and reseted more easily than logic gates) and checking for the possibilities of winning(i didn't finish that part because i had to format my computer and i forgot to backup it). The game was supposed to mark the score automatically by using command blocks, and to make it able to be toggled to reset automatically every time a game is won,but you could also reset it by pressing a button next to the buttons to drop the pieces.
