    Ok I have news I will be saying it has a 3 step command level and I found a way of generating frames this will al be uploaded soon along with the updated manuals the ram is done and we will have a massive 1.5kb harddrive also it will be able to run games ...slowly they wi be basic space invaders we have not Planned to add a randomiser to One of the cores yet also the game coding can only be in the binary for this computer at the moment. Later you will be able to code In the two planned languages that are less annoying than binary alphahex and spare will be able to code for but only to be reased later. If you would like the manual for the coding plus the updates ask me in the conversations and I will send you the key plus the updates. Thank you for giving me an idea for the display a bray display now I cannot decide this but jalfor will decide also conceding the size we will see how we go and if we don't have enough space I will ask Simon to make a Special large screen powdertoy format. Coders who want to begin coding for this you can start just ask me in the conversations what you want to code and I will answer we also need some more people to help with the inactive systems.

    Your going to need a lot of memory... how are you are you going to fit that in TPT.
    I know memory can be put into a small amount of space, but it needs to be accessible and needs to have options and so on...

    How much memory do you think you will need or at least can fit into it? 1.5 kb is big... really big for TPT

    Hey guys! I am teaching myself TPT electronics... I am beginning to learn how to use logic gates (AND, OR) in conjunction with each other. I cannot help with this project, however, I have a suggestion.
    If the display is too big to fit with the computer, how about you program the necessary components using the computer then copy+paste them onto a save with the display, and hook them up?
    Just an idea.

    Im almost done with the ALU, the bottom core is proving tricky and ive had to restart a few times, but i think i have it.

    Also, for memory management, i think we would need or two stacks, which load from the RAM, and for the RAM, thats going to be harder... Maybe a PTT-DX4 like setup...

    Also, there are some AND gates in that schematic with only one input, any idea what those could be? ive been putting them as NOTs, but i can change that...

    What sort of commands do you need for the memory? by that I mean, what options does it need?

    Your probably going to need to use wires as opposed to WIFI in some cases because there is only a limited amount of WIFI channels

    im only using INST and logic gates, no wifi, do you know what a one-input and gate is?

    Without seeing it, i would not know, because to me it sounds like a piece of metal... only metal. It doesn't make sense... AND gate means "and", so it has to have at least two inputs. Maybe it needs two sparks to create one... similar to a capacitor (on TPT)

    What would you need logic gates for, for memory?
    I had made a memory thingy (space consuming...) that has 4/input bit inputs (8 lots of them) and can be easily set and easily summoned... but I don't really fully understand the extent of what you are doing, and that is something I will only really understand once it is complete... I think

    OK first the ram and how it is uwsed plus the harddrive is a secret airstrike I would like to ask you if you would like to join as a design idearererer GREAT JOB DNERD but those one bit and gates are actualy half powerd ones so basicly just a straight wire if you could send me the schematics i can look thank you for all support that we are reciving and a very big AND me and (lots of ands) jalfor have thought about making two memory controlers and bianric compilers so we would have two saves one for jalfors compiler and one for mine as we go on we hope to recive lots of ideas and ways to improve and when we get to a stage say 50% if we decide we will link up our items or not depending on there state but if they are done 50% and we choose to release the link to the save you will get a look. I have even more news the language of binary i have written requires lots of fixing and updating so please during these next maybe 2 weeks don't write out any programs and that takes me onto something else WE NEED CODES when we get both languages out there will be two binarys unless we go otherwise but we do need coders so please if you are interested just say and give a quick idea and we will say. hope you enjoy the project when and if it is finished.

    I'm game, but I have almost no experience with electronics (understatement) so I'm not sure how much I can actually help.
    Also, logic gates can be used for bin->dec conversion. I figured that out myself... clue, clue.
