This is my first computer so don't expect any quantum mechanics. INSTRUCTIONS: Copy a program and align it with the pins on the computer, then spark START. If the "BUTTON" text lights up, the program is requesting you to spark a button on the keypad.

    I love computers (+1 and a fav)

    It's going to take some time to make the full program tutorial

    So how are the instructions encoded?

    @Scien_Tificor : Or are they posible.

    @Benjamin_C_2007 They aren't, it was a joke

    Err I don't think quantum computers are possible in TPT

    and for a ver 2 some great things you should think about having are a second digit on the output, as earlier mentioned, some I/O for custom peripherals, an ALU with more logical operations instead of just addition, and a control unit/instruction decoder as to decrease the size of the ROM and make it easier to program. Another grat feature to have in relation to the ROM would be jump instructins and in particular conditional jumps.

    this is really cool, and a great first computer. interesting choice to leave out the control unit in sacrifice of more ROM space, and also the clock design. some instructions on programming this would be nice.

    Another amazing technological save on FP. Nice!
