    Moved the pulse generator to make the design even more compact.

    Or rather a D flip-flop. :)

    Updated with a faster display, simplified by using an FPGA RS flip-flop instead of a SWCH, and made the whole thing more compact.

    @Denderth I made a tutorial, check id:2938241

    @Jerehmia How would one go about producing an FPGA chip in the Powder Toy in terms of, well, constructing one? Are there any tutorials for it?

    @Bunborg FPGA = Field-programmable logic array. It's a kind of chip that can be configured to form large amounts of logic gates and more complex circuits after it has left the factory. You could configure the same FPGA to be a CPU, a GPU, a dedicated data routing chip for network devices, a chip to control a medical device or weapon system, etc.

    @JonaHungary It's in set mode when the simulaton starts so you have to set a time and click set/run. It runs like a real clock so the display changes once a minute.

    @JonaHungary seems to work fine for me. Also, +1
