Heres a tutorial on creating logic circuits

    Took about 4 or so hours, there are some sections I intend to add, as well as clarify some aspects more in the future. But generally it just gives users a tutorial on all the different aspects of creating logic circuits for specific purposes. In the tutorial I use a binary to 7 segment decoder as an example, and users can follow steps in order to create it.

    You might want to add some in-game images. Other then that, AWESOMEEE

    Yeah once I am done with the whole simplification section I will make a section dedicated to showing users a more powder toy specific guide. But the point of the tutorial is that I am teaching users a broad technique which can be applied to anything that is capable of using logic gates, including Powder toy.

    thanks for writing this down it's very nice and i respect you for this. also this explains a lot to poeple who don't know what it means or how to work with it.

    I like your wiki topic. I looked over it and forgot to post. Nice comprehensive topics, but the MediaWiki software is very slow. Maybe if you'd go in deeper in terms of TPT-only gates such as how the "newbs" could use NTCT/PTCT etc

    Wiki page link moved from the 'User Tutorials' section you made into the 'General Usage Tutorials' (where it belongs, with all the other PT tutorials).
    Just needed saying...


    Anyway, nice!! :D

    BRILLIANCE.

    I just cant wait till a TPT specific section is out :P

    Great tutorial...I wish I had something like that when I started, instead of having to stare at devast8a's stuff until I understood it ;)

    Thanks guys. I am about to add another section for simplification. I will also add a powder toy version of the finished circuit.


    EDIT: Finished the simplification section. It is quite a large section.

    So yeah, I am planning to create a TPT specific section, maybe an introductory section which will give new users some knowledge on binary, and possibly a section for further simplification.

    If you have any suggestions for other sections please tell me.

    RE-EDIT: Ok tonight I am going to write the binary,TPT specific sections. The TPT specific section will focus on PT logic gates and wires.

    I will also demonstrate how this method can be used to make other things such as adders, or other decoders/encoders.
