Using high level assembly language, this "super" computer can execute "complex" procedures like finding primes and playing games! Don't forget to switch it on. Oh, and DON'T blow it up.

    Glad you all liked it. I haven't touched TPT for a year. I'm more into programming now; making real things is more exciting than virtual things, admittedly. I would just like to say a few things before going for good:From the comments there seems to be a bug that could be fixed by adding a delay to the timer; I would love to fix it but I can't test it as my old computer overheats and crashes when I run this for a short period of time.If anyone wishes to copy components, please do; if you want to copy the entire computer and add wifi/fix the bug/do something cool, please do too but do credit so you won't be seen as simply copying.Before stopping last year, in an attempt to make an 8-bit computer I made and linked up a few 8-bit electronic components adapted from some of arK's components (which seem to have already been removed, sadly). You can find them by searching "saveid:937398".They are barely one third of the components required for a full computer, but they take up very little space and I'm confident that an 8-bit computer is createable. Unlike this one, they use WIFI, so I'm confident that an 8-bit computer based on such components would run much faster in addition to being much more powerful.In fact, I'm pretty surprised that after 1 year no one has made an 8-bit computer yet. (update: realised there's an 8-bit processor (just search "processor") but... well let's just say it can be improved.)If you're interested in making powder toy computers (virtual machine-ception!) and would like to copy my 8-bit components, please do so.And if anyone is embarking on his own giant project and wants a few words of advice: start small but think big.So bye all. Perhaps I'll come back someday, when I have more time, maybe as a modder :D

    so now, i inserted the more or less game palette, wait for it to process it, but it just blurted out a whole load of random digits and the input light never came on!

    when i try to play the more or less game, it only guesses 1 or 0! WHY?

    No,cyberdragon442. It is connected to INST, then PSCN, and PSCN is sparked by BRAY from ARAY on the decoder above. Why it doesn't work is that soild BRAYs are being made. My version works:~824438

    the array bank connected to the display isn't connected to anything. that's why it won't light.
